Two plus comments over something thats clearly a joke. So theres this saying... It's a joke not a dick, don't take it so hard.

Well I'm glad you were joking. Unfortunately, nowadays a lot of people out there really are that deceptive and cruel, even to those closest to them. Far too often we hear about and see people taking advantage of and screwing over their family and friends. Too many people in our society seem content to hurt others for their own personal gain.

I apologize if my response to your joke was too aggressive or harsh. It wasn't clear to me that your post was a joke, and the sort of behavior you were joking about is something I obviously take issue with.

No kidding, for the amount of threads where people suggest buying or gifting a “jarbenza” or “smatchet”, you’d think another gas station reference would be taken in the same light lol. Sensitive knife nuts!

Smaller?
How about Rike's Hummingbird?

It was not clear at all. Don't assume written words on the internet will be received or interpreted the way you want them to.

And now you're gonna lecture me? Maybe don't insult people over something as dumb as a joke about a gas station knife. Might maybe make you look like a bigger asshole than the guy joking

If your joke post received responses from multiple people that took it the wrong way, then maybe Shane's point about written words having the potential to be misunderstood is valid?

Jokes are only funny if people laugh. I didn't see a lot of giggles regarding your comment.

Just stop. I made a joke, stuff was said. Why not give the op his thread back already?

You can trade knives for wives?

Does she have a sister?

Bad joke poorly chosen. And so are your replies. How's that for a lecture?

I've been diggin' the teal lately myself.

Fireside Co. offers scales in "seafoam green" which is close to teal but more on the green than blue side. I went with a set of those on my Manix and have been pleased with them.

There is also the Knife Joker 20CV exclusive Manix in translucent teal you may be able to find floating around, but I'm not up on current aftermarket pricing

In case you decide to go the dye route, here's my Para 3 in Natural Micarta from RGT dyed with Rit's "Tropical Teal"

Also, white or Jade FRN takes the dye well. Here's my Jade AD20.5 done with a teal purple fade

Finally, likely out of budget if you don't already have the equipment, but you can get a fairly teal ano on Ti. Just did my Sebenza last week

As the title states, looking for a new edc for the wife, she currently carries an s35vn Endura 4. However, she has been hinting at wanting something a little smaller, and TEAL (or equivalent color)...

I'm looking for something around a 3" blade, give or take. Most blade shapes are fine, but no warnies or sheep's foot (idk, she's just not a fan). Let's say any decently stainless steel 9cr or up, any lock type, any handle material.

I'm aware of all the Teal Spyderco's, and that just may be what i end up going with, I was just wanting to know if anyone knew of anything else out there that is readily available that may fit the criteria. Trying to keep this one under $200.

The attached pic of the Curtiss if for color reference only.. if anyone is getting a new F3 it's going to be me .

Atlantic knife has the teal kansept spirit titanium/s35vn on sale for 119$

If you go to a reputable vendor, like BladeHQ…

Ahahahajahajaja.

Sorry, but I’m far beyond done with them. They do have a good site to research things, but I wouldn’t order a $10 truck stop special from that site anymore.

OP - if you can have autos where you live, you might consider getting her a teal Microtech LUDT. Might go over your budget a little but I’ve seen them close or even under on the exchange here.
