I finally realized I spend too much time on Blade Forums tonight.
I was out for an evening ride on the back roads and I came across this guy. My first thought was "How do you get my 23 close enough for a good shot without getting bit or scaring the snake away?"
I (probably luckily) scared it away.

For sure would have been my first thought. Knife in one hand, camera in the other. How fast can a baby move anyway? :eek::D
 
You know you spend too much time on BF when your cruising youtube and you see a video that says " I just traded my most expensive knife, $1000" and your first thought is " so what".
 
You know you spend too much time here when you start spending less and it becomes apparent how much time you were spending before.
With the new half whittler occupying my pocket lately and not likely to change any time soon I haven't had much to post this past month and It's been a nice change of pace not being turned onto a new knife by a picture someone posts.


I was definitely spending too much time here, and I definitely made some posts I could really have stood not to.

Lately I've realized theres a lot to learn if you try to read more than post.

Good stuff!! It looks like you found your perfect edc (for now at least)
That's no easy task once you're down the rabbit hole.

For now I suppose it is for pocket knives.
I've got ideas in my head of what would be my absolute perfect pocket knife, but I'm not seeking it because it might hamper the appreciation I have for the ones I have now.

It sounds as if you and I are on the same page... I've backed off my "buying frenzy".... funny, I've also had my Case half whittler in my watch pocket for about 2 weeks now. That spot used to be the almost exclusive domain of the Case swayback jacks. Of all the knives I've picked up over the past several months, I find that I'm most comfortable with either the Case Texas Jack, or something of that size. I still carry different knives, (cargo pants) but if one looked at a knife purely as a tool, then the SAK Farmer might be the perfect knife. A good sized blade, bottle opener, can opener, punch/awl, saw... I mean, that one knife would cover just about anything that came up.
When GEC brings out their new 74's, I will remind myself that I already HAVE a 74, and seldom carry it.

Seeing that, my first thought would be ... DARN!!! WHERE'S A (loaded) 2 BORE SHOTGUN (or a pocket nuke, disintegration ray gun, phaser, teleportation ray ... ) WHEN YOU REALLY NEED ONE?!?
I'd also turn around and (as quickly as possible) go the other way ...
"Paranoid" doesn't cover my dislike of legless lizards. Much too weak a word. I cannot even touch a picture of one. :(
I dunno why I dislike all them things so much.
Maybe being told when I was a youngling of 2 and 3 that my (paternal) great gramps was bit by a rattler and died has a little something to do with it?
