Bikes: thats none of your information BF

snuck in a quite stroll around town for the first time in a week or so, and popped some sw8 wheelies with my new riser barr. Also s/o to my school for putting all the athletes on one side of campus, I have my windows open cuz no AC and these football players are constantly hooting and howling in the quad all day/night. sure do appreciate that

another former "country boy" here. had a knife in my pocket since i was six. get's used pretty much every day. all of the above uses.

funny part is most of my friends don't carry a knife, but are constantly asking to borrow mine. i even try and give them one...... :/

the multitool with a (replaceable) locking blade is one of the best inventions since thumbs.

at the bare minimum i have a Leatherman Squirt (mini multitool w/ small-nonlocking blade) and a AAA 80+ lumen flashlight when i leave the house. both dangle from a small ring attached to a pocket clip that is clipped to my left front pocket. don't even know they are there.

so i realized how friggin easy 71GI is...aside from the obnoxious spinning...i definitly prefer a higher GI...i guess i prefer a little more mash a little less spin, i think 72 or 73 would be perfect as before i was 74 and hills where a ***** sometimes. small hills and inclines didnt bother me at all, it was the extended climbs for a couple miles that would fatigue me.

or maybe it was the extended climb going home after 8 hours of work on my feet in front of a grill getting my ass kicked.

I use my keys to open boxes at work. I know there are times when it is a lifesaver but I have yet to experience a time when I needed a blade and wasn't able to find/make a suitable one. I have always assumed carrying an expensive knife was some sort of prop for dudes that like to pretend they're super handy and outdoorsy.

Ive had a knife of some variation since i was around 8, i feel naked without one

I use it to pry, screw, scrape, open, and of course cut stuff, in a pinch perhaps self defense
I cant remember a day where i havent used it

Ive never carried an expensive knife every day, like nagrom says they like to dissapear
The one i had for the longest was some junk shrade lockback and i had for about 9 years and just kept razor sharp

This year im planning to get a benchmade x doug ritter mini griptillian with custom scales and/or a benchmade mini barrage with asissted opening. Benchmade is amazing quality and thats why im willing to pay the money for them

Ive never had a problem with cops even when i was in a situation where i had been confronted by them either. I said ahead of time what i had on me and appreciated my honesty

Im currently carrying a victorinox cadet with alox scales, things got 8 functions and is 1/4" thick
I also have a squirt ps4 on my keys which give me little scissors which i find invaluable, the pliers are their other primary reason i have them and so far have been used at least once a week

Needless to say im a knife lover and advocate.

Also, stay away from serrations, theyre needless. A sharp knife is better than serrations any day.

I dont find a tanto blade shape to be all that useful either but to each his own

mmm medium rare flat iron with steamed green beans and mashed potatoes with a butter sauce and satueed muschrooms ontop of the steak followed with new castle draft and a crown neat.

next time im getting rare!

JESUS CHRIST living near the las vegas airport sucks, a plane was either departing or arriving and it was so low and loud i couldnt hear myself think :|

not to mention i constantly hear either police or ambulance sirens lololol EVERY NIGHT. got to love vegas, someones either dying being mugged, killed or robbed every night.

I hate serrations. And they're damn near impossible to sharpen. Never owned a knife that was serrated, but my Dad's CRKT is half and half, with a tanto point. Looks sweet as hell, but its often not that useful. The only tanto I have myself is my Cold Steel Tanto Lite. It was only $25, and its ginormous. Current yardwork/camping/hunting knife. So much good for so little money.

Serrations are good for cutting through thick things.

Tantos are good for puncturing.

All this knife talk just sparked 30 minutes of looking for a new knife.

I didn't find one that wow-ed me. I'll have to go to real stores this weekend and look.

I have a feeling you don't sharpen your serrations?

I'm not gonna drop a spear point straight into something and risk losing a chunk of it.
