No one in that picture has a beard?

Lol, I was trying to focus on the pretentiousness and “look at me” vibe that comes from that crowd. I mean dragging your portable record player and handful of vinyl down to the corner cafe/bar is a commitment. But I think brosif has a goatee mustache thing going and if she’s got a mustache it would just be mean to point it out.

I have a Beer and Sausage but never carry it. I like the uniqueness of the B&S but the #35 frame doesn't do anything for me. Now this one on a #15 frame, I know from experience that I'll like that frame. Plus it just looks really cool with that shield and the lanyard hole. Might not ever use the comb but it's a good conversation piece none-the less.
 
Im not a hipster, but I think this knife is pretty cool. I don’t have anything against hipsters. They may dress a certain way, but they’re not bothering me. It seems I have things in common with hipsters (handlebar mustache, redwing boots) and it seems every hipster and his mother is wearing the same “cowboy” hat I’ve been wearing for years. But that doesn’t stop me from having them and it wouldn’t stop me from owning this knife. I really like the understated looks of a 15 with a nail nick. More likely lack of availability or lack of knife budget (wife approval) will keep me from owning this knife, but we’ll see. Either way, I’m looking forward to seeing more pictures. Let’s hope this doesn’t turn into the thread where people come to repeatedly poop on this knife.

HIPSTER 'stache??? If you are into guns, and of a certain age, you would recognize that as a George Nonte 'stache...... :D
 
Reminds me (with one eye closed) of the electrians sfo that was produced.
Hope that everyone gets one that wants one. Looks like Mr. Howard is having a good time. Best Regards
 
I hear ya Will, did the same here ha!
That etch will fade fast enough though, and I'm happy with whatever GEC that I may acquire.
Hopefully the spring on that groomer strongly snaps shut.
IMHO hipsters seem to wanna have everything that I enjoy, vinyl, clothing etc. I'm hoping it's just a fad.

He'll get his revenge :eek: Karma comes around :cool:

Fell asleep at the wheel on this one, only just woken up to the fact it's a 15 frame and not a 35..:D stupid old :poop: head! Makes no diff though, that comb's going to be an awkward yet dinky thing on this frame.

But, let's see the pix when they come in :thumbsup:

this was one of those meh i dont like it knives. I saw the email and the price and went :rolleyes:, what a way to end the run. If it was clip, at least it would have a part to harvest from. but the comb itself appeared as a gimmick to me from the start. I didnt see what the fuss was when it first came out with the 35. Not to mention I had enough of the nonsense of chasing the 15s :mad:.
 
Love my B&S, use the comb for my beard, which I’ve had for over 15 years not some sort of hipster trend sort of thing. Not sure what the issue with a metal comb for a beard is that I saw mentioned? Also don’t know why having a comb on the same tool as a fork is a problem either? It’s not like any one’s closing it up filled with crud. I actually used the comb to check for ticks on my dog a few times, (and cleaned it off before returning to my pocket). The fork came in handy for a work lunch where my order was missing a disposable fork and due to covid restrictions they hid away all the lunchroom cutlery.
I’ll be looking to snag an Urban Scout, hopefully green bone. I’m hoping the comb spring is a touch stronger than in the 35. Could do without the etch, (I don’t like blade etches) but it’ll fade away with use and patina so whatever.

Yes, same stache. I was not familiar with him, but looked him up.

The comb on my B&S snaps open and closed fine, but I wouldn’t call it strong. The combs are so thin with such a thin spring, I don’t think there is a way to make them have a strong snap. It still works fine.

I think my biggest complaint with the Beer & Sausage was not that the comb had such a weak pull, but that the other blades did as well.
 
Yeah the pull on the comb was reportedly the worse but there were complaints about the blade too. The pull and snap on my comb is fine for what it is. The blade is pretty light but not bad. The worst part is the side to side play on the blade. It seems to continually get worse.
