hacked off a chunk of nostr:nprofile1qqsppdnxpjc82jlm3yn9gawhv7p4nm69a3f80rg5ycw305xned2s0hcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshsz9rhwden5te0v9kxwmeww468smewdahx2tcq7d5tl soap to drop in a shaving cup. why should I use this wonderful stuff only for cleaning? this other tube of shaving cream has tons of shit in it - but I've got a bar of simple goat's milk and tallow that foams up nicely...

What kinda knife you got there?

that's a:

it's nice, simple, one-hand open.

But I like to keep this Gerber fixed blade nearby, too.

Nice. That fixed blade is nice. Was gonna get a pocket knife a lil while ago, couldn't decide on one, so decided to get a leatherman instead. Been handy. Don't really have use for a pocket knife that often, alas

More or less the same here, but the handful of times a week I do need it it's key.

I have a Leatherman that I like a lot but it's pretty big and heavy to carry around. I've been considering a smaller one to replace the pocket knife.

....but also....that pocket knife can be out of my pocket and deployed in about a second and I like knowing that for "shit hit the fan" emergency situations. I'd lose that with a multitool.

A simple folder that works one handed is a great thing to have handy. This Kershaw has done many miles in my pocket.

Hear good things about that brand. Was close to getting one of those or a benchmade. Your endorsement of this one will likely influence choice towards kershaw, when time to get one comes

I've carried both before. Weight, steel type, and operation matter way more than brand once you are looking at the brand names.

I couldn't tell you why I got a Kershaw over a benchmade when I got this one. I can say I was looking at those 2 because they run lighter than SOG and kabar which were my previous brands of folder.

The truth is, these break blade razors are the real rockstars of my knife collection. 1cm wide, weigh nothing, durable enough for pocket and toolbox carry, always sharp, far less exposed blade makes them safer to use. If you're mostly opening packaging this is totally the way to go.

Genius

The olfa is $12 and the Kershaw is $70 ish depending on color choice on amazon today.

Kershaw was the #1 I was looking at when I bought this one! not sure why I switched. you're making me second-guess it now lol

You can just buy more knives.

Knife brothers! Im getting this any day now.

Nice!

I'm looking for a small, traditionally-crafted dagger these days.

If I find a good one, the plan is to get nostr:npub1v0tfjv5ahr3c260jtzdk5w48krerrnkg8fmcnc5lpguk0qda04eqzm3m3e to make me a sheath.

Yeah think it was your post in the is yesterday that reminded me. Looked around a bit and decided couldn't go wrong with bills pick

always a good choice.

Im excited about it. Probably a slight waste of money as there isn't really a need for it, but the longer I hold off getting one, the less use I'll get out of it, so figured I'd pull trigger with a safe pick asap

you'll realize you had so many needs for it once it's in your pocket

pO-CkEt changE*****

Yeah, I'm hoping so! I have a pocket knife already, but it's more of a stabby sort, and I never carry it.

Now I want a new knife πŸ”ͺ πŸ˜‚
