This is how you dry a big ass tent when you have a one bedroom apartment......

I gave up on using a tent a while back. I have a small one but it's so short that I'd rather stretch a tarp over my truck bed. I have considered getting a small utility trailer and putting a mattress in it and installing some vents.
 
The last time I aired/ dried out a tent I was in high school after coming home from a camping trip. That reminds me, I think my tent is still at my parents house lol.
 
I love doughnuts so much I can't have one... As I get older I am finding I can't eat a whole lot stuff I really like with out putting on some weight.

it's not, esp if you are used to using khukris.

if you haven't tried it, speculation will get you nowhere. you have to try it.

course, like some grips, if it doesn't fit YOUR hand, that sucks. but if it does, big win.

unsurprisingly, it fits my hand quite well.

if it didn't work, KaBar wouldn't have put it on so many models...

I would always just stretch a tarp down on one side of the Jeep. The tent was a given to me last year by my parents who purchased it from one of their friends second hand. I didn't realize how big it actually was. I can just about stand all the way up in it.
Funny thing is, the first time I got it set up (which may or may not have been at the gathering) I found a pair of Bushnell binoculars laying on the tent floor.

It is definitely different. Not all in a bad way or anything. I have the older pestilence chopper and I dig it, but not nearly as much as the Becker handles (of course).

What the JAB handles get right is they are a good type of universal design allowing a variety of different grips comfortably. Also what is hard to see in most of the pics of the handle is that they are contoured really nicely. Thicker at the "neck" tappering down towards the pinky area, then out a bit again. Actually pretty comfy. Its similar to the contour you see on some custom big chopping bowies. Also the shape allows you to naturally "snap cut" or whatever you want to call it like with a khukri as bladite mentioned.

However, in my use I am kinda mixed on the finger separator. I honestly feel that it could be a bit better if it either was not there at all, OR was more radiused, (just my 2 cents). Also I am not a big fan of the bumpy scales, its there for a reason I get it, just doesnt always feel friendly. Finally, I find I have to use a lanyard if I chop (which you probably should with anything lol). Its like sometimes that curve makes it more work to hold on too. Its like its trying to leave my hand, hard to explain correctly. I think this is why they put the "talon" on some of the other zombie knife tangs beyond just style.

ALL THAT being said I still think its a very solid design, and none of the negatives I mentioned would stop me from using another one of the JAB/zombie line. Plus I really want to try out that parangatangadangadiddlyiyingyangthangmang lol.
 
I don't really care for Krispy Kreme donuts, there's nothing to them and they are SO sweet. I prefer the Dunkin Donuts cake donuts... OR a good beignet!

Also, not a fan of the JAB handles, but I've also never really used them for an extended time.

That's cool about the binos. Yeah for my purposes a tent is just not worth the hassle. It's either so small that it's a pain to get in and out of (and I can't change in it) or it's so big that it's not worth the hassle of setting up unless I'm gonna be there a week. And I don't know anyone with the stones to go camping for a solid week, or at least they have a family and it's just not feasible for them. I'm not looking forward to whatever setup I'll have to resort to if I ever get married and have kids.
 
One of my friends (she is pregnant) just posted a picture with the hash tag "#icantseemyvaginaanymore" I had coffee come out of my nose at work.
