Well forgive my transgression from Spyderco here, but I think I have found the perfect EDC combo. Logically, if having a folding knife is nice, and a fixed blade is even more convenient, then this lil’ beauty is the best of all worlds.

I find the longer blades good for larger cutting jobs, and their opposing edges make it easy to keep work material in a specified “cutting zone.” The smaller blades (thumby and pinky as I likes to call ‘em) are great for paring fruit, office chores, or general whittling. Driving and computer usage is a bit difficult, but I’m looking into a titanium keyboard.

So the glove goes on the right hand, but I needed something larger to carry for heavy duty jobs. This one is just the ticket:

The blade is only 12”, but I have found out how truly useful a scythe-format can be for common chores! I carry it stuck in my belt, sash-style, with the blade bobbing openly in front of me ready for use. Sure, some of my office-mates give me 'that look’ for carrying a somewhat tactical looking scythe, but what can you expect of sheeple? I have toned down the skull-pommel for the office environment by adding Oakley sunglasses and a Raiders bandana.

OK, I’ll stop.

Yes, April Fools.
Yes, fantasy knives are a big business.
No, I don’t really have any. Not my bag, baby.
Yes, these are real, I saw them in Blade Magazine, and they’re made by a guy named Tom Anderson.


Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
 
wow, rorschach. ..you're always a wonder..
well i'll order a dozen for sure, instead of those boring selfpromotional cadeax...


..if you already didn't taken all production line :D

That's a rather phallic pose.
 
:D :D

The 'do rag and sunglasses really add that final touch!

By the way, there is a benefit to carrying that scythe to work for a few days. You could switch back to any other knife and never hear another peep from your coworkers again. They would have seen how much worse it could get. Use a Vaquero Grande to open the mail? No problem...
 
I... I didn't think Tom Anderson designs those.

He designs the ones that look like his knives... at least... like the Cyborg and the Mohawk... on the Blade Mag ads, someone else designs the kooky ones, I thought...

Oh dear. I guess it IS him. How... um... interesting.

Weird...

To set the record straight, Tom Anderson does design those. He is doing fantasy designs now, too, along with his own customs. I got to see the proto of the double edged one after he made it, couldn't tell anyone about it then :) He wanted to do something fun and a little more extreme than his usual items. More power to him that he can design and fabricate these for proto's and still be selling great customs :)
