I like a snark in a short skirt and a looong jacket!

had one, decided I had no need for the things it does best and had other things that did a better job at the things it doesn't do best -- so I traded it off.
 
I want one to leave in the truck, but don't really need it. Maybe some day my son will give me one for father's day.. :)
 
Yeah CB, didnt your 3 help somebody out?
I forget the exact story.
 
Yeah, basically there was a car on fire on the highway, off duty firefighter was driving past and stopped. I was with my mom and we stopped, dude asked if we had a crow bar or anything to break the window. I had grabbed the 3 when I was getting out of the car so handed it to the firefighter, he broke the window and cut the belt. He pulled the guy out the window then we carried him away.
 
I could use a beer or two... been on the go since hitting the ground in Galveston. Know what every part inside a mac mini looks like now, thanks to the intrepid fellow to my left - poor guy had to replace a hard drive in one for the first time!

I think it will out chop a nine. It out weighs the 9 by nearly 50%, 1.6lbs vs. 1.05 & it's 1/4 inch thick. All you'd need to do to make it a little better is strip it & grind that top guard off.

Not sure it will out chop one. Maybe the saber on the 9 allows for greater splitting ability? I've chopped some pieces of wood yesterday and it mostly just gets stuck, doesn't handle quick enough for chopping, at least in my opinion. Great for whacking though, like a machete. Anyway, I keep on jabbering but alas, I can't compare, and that's what would settle it :)

Some first thoughts on using the Swabbie:

-it is very comfortable in the hand, allows a multitude of different grips
-the texture on the handle scales is amazing, totally different than the slicker grivory from f.e. the tweeners
-sharpy sharpy McSharp! Like the curved blade, it gives a larger cutting area. The blade is very thick at the stock, but tapers down very quickly so the edge is rather thin, which makes it slice very well (not chop in wood).
-DAT POINT is very pointy. That's one of my only gripes, it just looks so fragile, you know? I'm very much afraid of breaking or bending it, so I guess I'm not swinging it at full force out of fear of breaking it... That's pretty much my only gripe.

Next to whacking 'n stuff, I think this thing would be an amazing pizza slicer.
-the guard at the bottom of the tang and handle gives you a great hold of this blade. I guess you'd have to do some crazy things to let it slip out of your hand.
 
How's it going gents...

I had a few people ask me to let them know if i ever sell an RMD.... cant quite remember who now.... but i have a new one in the exchange for less than cost shipped from the swamp.
Its a duplicate and way too many badass knives being sold right now for me to hold dupes!
 
On my third cup already, I hope I actually wake up at some point this morning...
 
So, at work, got Firefly playing got my cup of coffee, Wumbo-sized. Now I'm playing with the nurses. This may prove to be an interesting day.
 
So, talked to my cousin. He has two kids that are teen/pre-teen so I talked to him about getting them a knife to use when he is supervoising them. He said he wouldn't mind so I got them each a Mora Knife and a mischmetal Firesteel. Amazon Prime is evil! Evil I tell ya! The family is gonna be back on Friday, the knives are getting here on Thursday. If GPKnives carried moras I would just go there and get them. However they don't carry Moras. I should talk to Mike and Justin about that.
 
I had the trial membership of prime. It's not worth it for me. And I'm usually not home to sign for stuff so I prefer orders to come USPS so they get put in my locked mailbox. Two-day shipping is nice though.
 
I am not home often either when they get there. However when sending a package as a surprise, it is pretty bad ass. When it is something for me, the office will sign for it and I can go pick it up. OR I can have it sent to my parent's house (as in this case) and they will take it and hold it for when I am there, usually that night I will be going over to get it, check on pops, check on g-ma, check on my mom, do some work around there for them.
 
I love Prime, I am trying to use amazon mom more, if you sign up for recurring shipments, like diapers every 2 weeks or the like, you get a significant discount on top of their good prices.. and of course free shipping. The prime videos are pretty good too.
