It's your fault! All of you.

I came upon this forum on a makeshift raft made from yellow FRN and highly textured black G-10, floating on a sea of blue loctite, starved for something more! Believe me, the pleasure is all ours!!!

This.

I woke up one day and looked at all my tactical black G-10 folders, at which I was proficient in Filipino grip quick deployment, and realized that I really don't need to stab anybody. Not really. I'm not a Ninja, mall or otherwise.

Traditionals just feel like "home."

Don't you guys just love it when occasionlly, someone from the world of tactical folders defects to us, after falling prety to the charm of a traditional pocket knife? I especially like it when the realization hits home that it does everything a tactical folder does, but without any of the negative connotation.

Congratulations on your first Case knives. I've got a few now too:

Maybe this pic will give you some "funny ideas."

To be honest, I didn't carry Spyderco and Benchmade because they're "tactical". I actually discovered them through a job I once had. I worked in a fiberglass production plant and a lot of times tape would either bind the machine or the product. They supplied fixed blades but they were just here and there. No sheaths so you either had one in reach or not. The problem was when the tape got all wrapped around something, generally you were holding up a bail of fiberglass so it didn't fall on your head while trying to find a knife. After seeing a couple of guys carrying Spyderco knives and easily dealing with the situation I went and got one myself. Very handy to have in that situation. And the collection has just snowballed from there.
