Thanks Mario. I think I'm going to burn through my CR123 primaries, before I switch to rechargeables

My advice would be to just start using RCR's now, after using up your last primary. Then, keep the stash of primaries for emergency use. That's essentially what I do. Their shelf life is crazy long, even longer than the published 10 years. I have a stash of about 15 primary CR123a batteries, as well as Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batteries. I actually use those lithium AAs for my headlamp right now, but it's been using the same AA battery for a long time. If you regularly use a Li-ion, they'll be reliably at 90-100% functional for about a year or two, then you should dispose of it.

Just food for thought, since the initial cost of using Li-ions is a bit high with getting the batteries and charger, and that's usually a pain to incur. I just figured I'd share how I deal with them. :D

I'm sure the market will show him the actual value. It'll be fine. ;)

I'm not getting half of the points from recs.
I only have about three or four recs.
(even that is substantial, thanks guys!)

Nah, i'm not going to submit my score to the points thread until I hit 15 points.

There, does that make you happy?

:p

Meh not really, I could take it or leave it.

I didn't say you had half of them as recommendation points, thats your assumption not mine. I am merely pointing out we need to amend to show the extent that is applyable. Hope to see you around after you garner the sufficient amount in points.
 
I am sure most of you had heard about this by now. While I know it was a tragedy the NTSB screw up is still hilarious. And then I seen Colbert's reaction and I started laughing all over again.

Do these spots look like rust? I can't really tell. They're in between the logo and the thumbstuds.

Usually banana would dry up and not leave much that would oxidize the blade...then again, I haven't seen any spotting on Elmax before.

I did cut a banana with it yesterday.

A banana wouldn't leave patina. It's not acidic enough.

If you cut apples or lemons, different story.

It may also be rust, which I hope it isn't, but if it is rust is easy to remove

The spots are more pronounced in person. It's hard to get a picture of them. The banana didn't even touch that area of the blade. Just the cutting edge towards the front, and that doesn't have any spotting.
