MORATORIUM: I MUST STOP BUYING KNIVES

[ATM]

...I feel less dirty with the assistance of the INGO Rationalization Patrol!

Just avert your eyes from my harsh reality spoilers.

Thirsty? I have something for you... don't miss it!

 

[BehindBlueI's]

No crocodile dundee yet? That's not a knife...

 

[Expat]

The pliers with accessories arrived.

I knew you were a right thinking American at heart.

Is it the thread where we show our new knives?

I recently became "interested" in autos...... I find myself looking at other models and justifying getting them in my mind....

In a moment of weakness I did this:


I'm still looking at others.... I need help!

 

[Sylvain]

Autos are less fun now that they are legal in Indiana.
You don't have the "bad boy" factor anymore in my opinion.You can still carry throwing stars to get that nice "outlaw feeling" though.

I fondled a few but never had a Microtech. CLIC CLAC CLIC CLAC this never gets old.
Is that a double action one?

I know what you mean. I bought one of those and now I think I need an Infidel...

I know what you mean... I don't even carry an assisted opening knife any more...

Yes, Ultratech

I have a bunch of perforation wheels I use on the folder here at the shop that work "surprisingly" well as throwing stars...
fling them across the shop and they will stick in whatever they hit.

Same here. Once you go OTF-auto its hard to go back. Even the AT&T tech today was amazed. Clik, let me open that box, clak, back in the pocket.

Even Grandma wants one for her purse. "Thats a handy knife". Yea, no kidding. All the while with one hand while holding something else.

 

[BiscuitsandGravy]

If anything, you bought pliers with accessories.

Genius. Big purple is ok. No intervention needed.

I think he's saying the opposite, that he's not carrying autos or assisted opening knives because they somehow lost the appeal of being illegal (not that assisted ones have ever been illegal).

Not to mention that you can get some really smooth manual flipper knives that will open as fast as an auto.
Or knives like the Emerson ones who will open even faster than any auto.
And of course you can't beat a fixed blade.

Speed (blade deployment) was never the original intent of an auto.

It was the CLIC CLAC CLIC CLAC, wasn't it?

I swear if they invented a silent auto knife nobody would buy it.
It has to go CLIC and CLAC.

I have given up on Rhino.

He can't abide by his own rules. He can't abide by other people's rules. This makes him an anarchist.

It is now with OTF autos, but back in the 1800's there were not any OTF autos, only side openers. The original intent/design of an auto knife was for women. Back then knives were manual opening, and most of them had a "nail nick" in the blade, and because women had finger nails, it was difficult for them to open up a manual knife using the nail nick.

I must now abandon rhino's thread before I am further tempted to take it over (causing him to miss most of it).

I like it!

That's just what he would say!
