I bought a knife from them in 1983 and instantly realized junk was their specialty.

Anything from a gas station. A lot of them around here sell knives in cases at the register, right between the fake bling watches with spinners on them and the vase of plastic roses that are advertised as smelling "authentic".

Personally, the last blade you'd ever see me carry, is: no blade at all 
If all I can find in the morning (sadly it happens) is a CCC, than it's what I carry. Better something than nothing. After that, the last blade you would see me carry is something sentimental, like one of my grandfathers knives

i grew roses, does that make me not manly?
tell ya what. i'll stoop. let me know when you're in minnesota and i'll go ahead and prove my masculinity with a rose in my hair and a pink shirt just to spite you.
btw, many say that knives and guns to settle fights isn't a manly thing to do. and i'd be one to agree. so go deer hunting with a knife some time you pansy
the rest of us don't have anything to prove. you won't see me in skin tight pants [unless its black pants, can't find dress pants to fit my a$$ to save my life (sigh)] and a pink t shirt, but you won't see me on the internet saying it makes them any less of a man. idiot

Lotsa red flowers out there, too.
Yeah...
I don't, so I'm outta this one now. It's been surreal.
BTW, I'm female (or am I? my delica has a black handle.) and I think I can recognize a manly man when I see one.

1) any production fixed blade over £200. what's the point when I can get a perfectly good custom for about that?
2) any folder over about £100. I don't really use single blade folders, so what's the point?
3) any scandi-grind "bushcrafter" type knife. I can get the same (if not better) performance from my £10 mora, so why get anything else. I'll just spend the cash on a better sheath.
4) anything with a blade over 7" unless it's a machete, kukri or simmiar. I just don't need it. infact, 4-5" is about the upper limit.
companies wise, frost cultlery and simmilar are ofcourse on my no-no list, but so are extrema ratio, for being unbelivably ugly.

I take less than 24 hrs. away from this thread and Holy cow, what a difference a day makes! The discussion has now changed from which knife you'd never carry to whether the color pink is manly, lol?
So noting, I've gotta relate a story: Back when I was a freshman in college in the mid 80s, a friend of mine, "Greg," who was a long time martial arts student, was out with me and couple other friends. Greg's hair was shoulder length and looked left over from the late 60s or early 70s, and he looooved to wear pink, teal, yellow, lavender and other pastel colors. A big 'ol manly looking burly redneck sort walked up to him at a fast food joint one day when he was wearing a pink shirt and teal pants, and called him a derogatory term for a man of "alternate sexual orientation." Greg responded by making a smart aleck joke, and Big Bubba swung, trying to land a John Wayne western-style haymaker. Greg proceeded to take Bubba down and beat him sadistically about the face and neck until he cried for mercy, at which point Greg stopped, leaned over and planted a big kiss on Bubba's lips and asked, "So how does it feel to get your a_ _ whipped by a [man of alternate lifestyle]?" Bubba's friends were dying laughing, so I'm sure he never lived it down. Greg wasn't & isn't gay, but I've always wondered how bad it felt to the other guy because you just know he thought Greg was.
As for the topic of the forum, I don't recall if Greg was carrying a knife.

I can understand not liking the Spydie look, but they're seriously the last knife you'd carry? You'd carry a Frost Cutlery knockoff with a tin blade before a Spyderco???

Why did this thread turn down "suck alley"? You guys are seriously arguing over pink? Over a color? 
Let me tell you something. Pink and purple aren't just women's colors. Some of use were raised thinking that, but it isn't true. Just as a woman can wear a blue dress shirt and some black slacks, a man can wear a pink or purple shirt with black slacks. Not only have I worn this color combination on many occassions, but I've never had anyone tell me I was teh ghey for wearing it.... at least not to my face. I have had quite a few women tell me, to my face that, I looked sexy though. You guys go ahead and have your preconceived notions that there are colors produced for only one sex. That's not ignorant at all. :jerkit: I'll just sit here and wait for the first guy to tell me I'm wrong and I'm not manly. Then I'll wait for you to prove it.
Anywho, once you kids are done pissing in the shallow end and want to rejoin the adults, feel free.
