Am I the only one who does not own a folder?

[WillB]

Check your other thread, as I think I mentioned I've pocket carried every knife in that photo. I'm just not willing to agree with you about the superiority of fixed blades over folding knives as far as concealment and ease of carry goes. Also, when I pocket carry a firearm I usually carry a very thin & light folder in my left front pocket (as nothing but the gun and pocket holster go into the right pocket).

I'd read a lot of hate for the admittedly craptastical little DB9, and I put a lot of ammo through it before I came to trust it. Years later and without a single malfunction I didn't intentionally cause, I may not love the thing but I do trust it. It goes bang and I hit what I'm aiming at, so I'm willing to overlook that it's ugly, rattles a bit, and doesn't exactly reek of quality. I wouldn't run +p ammo through it, but the manufacturer explicitly tells you not to do this, so I have little sympathy for the knuckleheads who do and blow out barrels. The thing is engineered to be light, tiny and cheap--I know what I'm getting with it.

Also, I don't pocket carry because it's comfortable, I pocket carry because sometimes it's the only option that is practical. Professionally I travel to customer locations frequently, many of which are marked gun free zones. My preferred little single stack nine (I have most of the popular ones, my favorite is the PPS M2) carries great in a variety of holster options, IWB or otherwise, but I wear a dress shirt so carrying IWB tucked doesn't work out well when I'd have to toss my gun in my car and then get myself back together and then reverse the process a couple of hours later every time I hit a gfz. With pocket carry I toss my gun in the console when I go in, then toss it back in my pocket when I come out, no fuss no muss and IMO seven rounds of decent performing 9mm hollow point ammo on tap ain't exactly throwing rocks in the unlikely occasion that I'd ever turn out to need it.

Rgr rgr. If i had to dress a specific way for a job, I too would have to make additional choices as to how/what I could have on me if needed.It's also important to note, unless actually made for it (that is, driving a projectile designed for standard pressures at + velocities), you can actually see sub par terminal ballistics from +P ammo as expands before reaching critical depth. As with a lot of things with bullets, counter intuitive but true and some just think faster = better. In some cases, it just means more recoil and wear and tear on the gun.

And again, just making chit up as you go along. I never claimed any such a thing. I did say that I feel the benefits of fixed EDC knives outweigh their negatives compared to folders in most respects, which I think are generally overrated. You seem smart enough and or knowledgeable enough to actually know what I'm saying, so again, trolling appears the only motivation for your comments.

Not too sure what you think I'm making up. You have stated outright that you feel that the advantages of folders are "vastly overrated", and that "people who found the right fixed blade EDC just know they're superior". It seems to me that you are attempting to dance around the fact that folding knives ARE superior for EDC carry, especially given that you have stated directly that you do not see value in the main requirement for a quality knife (cutting well), but instead value factors like strength and a feeling of "comfort". Most people, stop me if you've heard this one, carry knives in order to cut stuff. I know!!! Wild, right?

When a "comforting feeling" is more important than whether or not a knife cuts well (most pocket brick "EDC fixed blades don't), that really tells everyone reading this thread...well, pretty much everything they need to know about how much value to place in your assertions.

At this point, I assume you're a mallninja. You have stated outright that you feel that the advantages of folders are "vastly overrated",

Yup, I said that, which on planet troll translates into "stating unequivocally that pocket fixed blades are better than folding knives"

Never said that. That's an intentional misquote and or taken out of context to troll or demonstrate chit reading comp abilities.

and that "people who found the right fixed blade EDC just know they're superior".

You're attempting to paraphrase what I actually said, have put that in quotation marks as if I did, so again, trolling and intellectually dishonest of you. That's not what I actually stated.

Does that mean you'll now STFU and go away to supply your expertise to others in need of your superior knowledge and stop wasting your uber valuable time with this mallninja's thread? That would be swell.

Know what, I was going to be nice, but I'm over putting up with your insults. Your room temperature IQ doesn't seem to respond well to logic, so let me set you straight: a d-bag like you doesn't get to tell me to STFU. Your ideas and logic are poor and you should be embarrassed. It's clear to me that you don't like it when people come in and tear your garbage assertions apart. Those things I quoted WERE what you said.

Maybe you should disappear for another 12 years so the rest of us can get back to talking about knives. Want to be a mallninja and talk about ballistics, go back to Arfcom, you weenie.

WillB I would ease off on the trolling comments. It does not add to the thread. We know that you prefer to edc a small fixed blade over a folder. Frankly I don't blame you if the opening picture is any indication of the kinds of folders you choose. Superior is where things go wrong....

 

[Eli Chaps]

Weird, I don't change my clothes to suit my knife. It just drops in my little ole pocket and off I go. Cuts stuff real gooder too.

Also, the handgun performance stuff is pretty thick. But besides being highly debatable, can we stick to knife talk?

 

[Eli Chaps]

Getting good now. Let me grab a snack...

Dat reading comp of yours is just LOL bad son. I didn't tell you to STFU up, but I did ask you if now that you have established I'm a mallninja with low IQ, yada yada, you'd STFU and go impart your superior knowledge to another in need in another thread. A perfect example of your inability to apply even the the most basic critical thinking skills.

You troll my thread, misquote me, invent things I never said, get called on it, and get all butthurt when called on it.

Going to be nice? You were not "nice" when you trolled me before on the other thread, and not one iota of "nice" in this thread either.

You're the very typical bully type people complain about when this forum is mentioned and that's just sad really. Most forums have your type in them, unless the mods keep a very tight lid on the behavior.

Dude, I will give back what I get and then some if I decide to. F him and the mule he rode in on with the those comments. If you wanna take that side, be my guest. You have at least attempted to respond with good intel that was helpful and I responded in kind. I have learned a few things from your comments. His, not so much other then to establish him as a classic forum bully to has to attack someone cuz he's a regular yada yada. He's your bud, so either you aint seeing it or you don't care.

Back to knives, I no doubt have not owned the collection of folders you have, I have had a few Sebenza's and other known quality folders, and while they were clearly very well made, I sold them because I realized for me, they accomplished nothing a well designed fixed EDC could, without moving parts, etc, for a fraction of the $.

Again, not anti folder, just find they're overrated for what they can do compared to a simple fixed EDC.

“Stop inventing quotes I never said as typical forum bully troll in some attempt to make me look bad”

Fixed for ya son. Are you not done imparting your superior knowledge in this thread to the lowly mallninja?

"Son"? That's adorable. "My arguments have been absolutely destroyed in this thread, so let me try the condescending tactic of inferring that I'm older and wiser than this other guy even though it has been made clear that I have poor impulse control and anger management coping skills." Oh, the hilarity of a guy who has confessed that he needs a sense of "comfort" from his EDC fixed blade (kind of like a toddler needs a blankey) calling me "son".

LOL

My bad, went way OT on the handgun related stuff. It's also a shame there was not a better signal/noise ratio to the OP topic.

I don't change clothes to suit knives per se, but will to suit firearms as/if needed.
