The Knife Life (Minor Topics and Random Stuff Thread)

Time for me to stop, or for you to stop?

I'll stop naming things "______ stabby" when you stop buying em! LMAO
 
Aight, let's virtual shake on it:

*shake*


Kidding vato! I have a feeling you'll keep buying the "pokey things"! Trust me, I've been through it before..... This affliction takes a while to work outta your system. In the meantime - nice blades pal! I like em a lot.

No worries, I get that you were kidding. My post just sounds too serious because the forum was being weird and wouldn't let me use caps or emojis.

It kept changing 'DEAL:D'

Into 'deal:d', so I gave up and posted somthing what was at least coherent

Bad forum!
 
I was at work today and was on top of a roof measuring some stuff when I had the perfect opportunity to snap a pic off of a parapet wall!
Just got this 0562 and I'm absolutely loving it! The flipper is a 8/10, which by my standard is darn good since I consider my 0454 a 9/10! I don't know what a 10/10 flipper would feel like, It'd have to be better than my 0454 which seems like a long shot.

Awesome shot of an equally awesome knife:thumbup:
I really want one, but it's just a little big for my tastes, and that puts it well behind a lot of other things on my list. Couple that with all of my retarded impulse buys, and well......:o
 
Thanks guys!

IMO it's really not that large of a folder, however the thing is literally a brick when it comes to weight. I'm used to carrying large 3.5"-4" folders though. Between a folder in my pocket and a leatherman on my belt, I carry close to a pound of steel on me everyday :eek:
Eat your heart out nutnfancy :cool:
 
Does it irritate anyone else that it seems like for every knife out there you need a specific screw driver to preform simple maintenance, and don't get me started on this proprietary/ unique screw crap. I mean what's the point? It seems like for every knife I own I have to have its own driver to the point that my screw driver/ allen key collection is about as large as my knife collection. It just seems like a simple, universal flat head would be so much simpler. A flat head can be adjusted by any number of objects, and not to mention every screw doesn't require a specific size bit. I was seriously debating on getting a Bad Monkey, but then I had to go and read about their "unique" screws, and now I'm not so sure. Now don't get me wrong the screws wouldn't make or break a decision for me. This is just something that's really been eating at me lately.
Okay, my rant is over.

Yeah, I feel ya

But I stopped taking apart knives a while ago. It's not worth it. I just end up making things worse:p

Good rant. It's bullshit. I'm tired of using 50 different things to take apart knives. It's ridiculous.

Also this....

Has been killing me for a few days now, haha! Lil' stabby!
 
Well, lil stabby arrived yesterday. I like it a lot. But this thing is comically thin. I can easily bend it with my bare hands:eek:

I guess I forgot it was meant to be a boot knife or neck knife. In those roles it would definately be great
 
I've been thinking about it, however the southern grind doesn't seem to ooze the "tactical-ness" of the emersons. I just want a nice sleek knife with the wave, and I just can't seem to warm up to spydercos. Also, the southern grind's f&f is amazing from what I've read. Who knows, I'll probably just bight the bullet and pick up the monkey and say some cuss words in my head every time I do any adjustments.
