    Assuming you don’t know knives can go for in excess of $100k, I’ll say I have my eye on this but since the wife stopped working the funds aren’t as liquid
    https://forthenrycustomknives.com/s...works-custom-boson-carbon-fiber-westinghouse/

    Michael is a a good guy, and I used to live about 10 minutes from the dealer selling this one. Michael also just won the Tactical Knives Invitational makers choice award so I’m sure that’ll impact his demand.

    Keep in mind the custom bubble burst a year or so ago. This used to be close to table price for this knife and people would fight over them. This time next year or maybe a couple of years at most this will be worth more. I’ve seen his knives go for $10k+ at auctions.

    That’s one a dozen knives I’d buy right now though, but most are collector to collector transactions that don’t involve dealers. A lot of guys resent dealers and wish they’d get cut out of the market altogether.

    Don’t get caught up in the “soup of the day” makers on Instagram and YouTube who use shady tactics to drive up prices for knives they basically assembled out of kits. There’s a lot of those guys out there, and suckers pay thousands for them then realize they’re no better than a Chinese CNC knife.

    If you want a slip joint or fixed blade I’ll send you a wither direction.

    I’m curious but what do you people do to need a tactical knife for every day carry. I rarely find I need a knife in my daily life. Is it purely for protection should you end up in a bad situation?

    I receive inventory restocks daily. It’s so much easier to pull a small 2” blade from my pocket to cut through the packing tape and break down the box.

    I work in a chemical plant. I’m opening boxes, cutting fiber tape off drums and buckets etc all day long. When I’m just in the office I typically carry a slip joint that’s about the size of a peanut. It’s just big enough to open a letter but it also takes two hands to open so it makes less sense in the “field”.

    In a protection situation I’d suggest a fixed blade over a folder 99% of the time.

    Frequent flying TMB cunts, please help me out.

    Looking for a backpack (don't @ me) for flying. I don't fly very often, but the same bag I've been using for 20 years isn't that practical anymore. This wouldn't be carry on for all my luggage, just the shit I want to keep on me if I'm checking a bag. Laptop, iPad, random shit.

    Apologies if I missed a random 3 pages that may have beat this to death already.

    Tom Bihn is making some great bags for all types of needs, they don’t look tacticool at all. GoRuck is my go to these days and I really like the layout—especially the laptop pocket. Some are outsourced these days but people say the quality is as good as the US version. I’d still spend the extra on the US version personally. Mystery Ranch makes some awesome stuff and I’ve got a few from them but Dana Gleason, once again, has built up a name into iconic status and outsourced almost all the labor to Asia. I no longer feel sorry for him.

    by the way, airlines consider my GR1 a personal item and it does slide under pretty much all seats. But I’m really short so I can live without the leg room.

    They incentivize you to get the short term package because it's a pain in the ass to continue to reup that one. People inevitably lose track and auto-pay the full amount at some point and some say fuck it and leave it be and some call and reup for longer with the money they've already paid.

    Yeah. If you're really serious about quitting don't give them a credit card and ask to be invoiced instead. They'll give you a discount to set up a card but then make sure to call a few weeks in advance and negotiate the next stupid pricing.

    It's all a big fucking stupid game.

    So I am slowly being convinced that I "need" Airpods by some friends and coworkers. However, they don't fit my ear that well. I know the shame of looking poor will be nearly unbearable, but are there some decent non-apple options out there?
