It makes me think of Malkoff devices, which are among my favorite flashlights. They come unceremoniously clad in bubble wrap for cost effectiveness. Do we really need fine packaging? No, but I still quiver looking at that photo and I'm keeping my CRKs. I admire the gall!

Love it. I am totally happy to buy knives without a box, hate storing them, but when they come with box and docs I force myself to keep them now (didn’t used to). Why? I really have no idea. I don’t keep the packaging for anything else in my life. I hate clutter.

I used to keep all knife, light, gun ( my 3 vices) packaging as I tended to do a lot of “horse trading” but those days are over for me.
Anymore when I buy a tool, be it a knife, light, or gun I hang on to the packaging long enough to know it’s not going back then just toss it. I know I’ll not be selling anymore as I just give what I no longer want need to my kids or kid-in-laws.
I cleaned out my at home shop / man cave a couple years ago and tossed like 20-30 knife and light boxes and about a dozen Glock cases, it was freeing and I’ll not go back to the clutter!


I will admit the pic was all about the dramatic effect!

Gene & Cathy are the best...

Yes they are! They make the only lights I use / own these days.

Yes they are! They make the only lights I use / own these days.

The only thing I don't use one of theirs for is my headlamp for my nightly dog walks down our forest road. I use a Nitecore for that duty and it's held up very well for some years now.

It's important to be able to handle oneself in a scrap as well as get oneself out of a scrape. Let's not even bring up close shaves.

Then I did this. Now for a tear down, clean & lube and a nice fresh edge.

"Personal foul. A Sebenza was not used to open and cut up that box. Send the 'zaan to Blues until your period of penance is finished."
