He was insistent that his Japanese PST was a fake.  I also bought it off him for 2 dollars.           

 :ahhh :hatsoff:

I think there was once a debate on MTO of using the can opener, either clockwise or counter-clockwise, but I am totally with Aloha on this.  And who cares if the can gets opened?

I grew up using on right hand clockwise for many years, and also did tried and compared it to counter clockwise.  I really don't see much difference between two methods.  Sometimes going counter-clockwise, I always feel the blade may skid a little and I have to pay a little more attention to keep it going forward, also I feel it's slightly less efficient since I could never utilize the full length of the opener, but counter clockwise is just brainless rocking motion and I can always utilize the full length since it always starts from the corner.  But that could just be me getting used to clockwise motion. :dunno:

However, I do have to admit if you want the fastest (and potentially dangerous) way to open a can, counterclockwise is where the money is:


On a second thought, I'd love to see a surgical steel Kray-bar bowie that never need sharpening...sounds too good to be true!  :drool: :rofl:

Good technique  :tu:

He's different.  He's got some wild stories too.  Most I'm not sure I believe or he's had one hell of a life.

:rofl: Love that the soundtrack is some triumphant  heavy metal playing as that Bozo misuses the can opener
Heavy metal?  :think:
I would call that some sort of blues-rock with a fatback Funk drum beat.

Does stuff from youtube count?

Reviewer opens the woodsaw: "It has a saw."
Opens the serrated blade: "It has another saw."
One guy, to demonstrate the serrated blade, started sawing through a 2x4 with it. :ahhh


This stuff drives me CRAZY!!!  It is amazing how many people will take the time to make a youtube review of a multitool and not know the difference between a saw and a serrated blade!   :ahhh

Do you think it is just us?  Or do you think there are other industries and groups that have to deal with the same stupid reviews?  Like are there people who review new cars and say stuff like:  "the front window is made of stronger glass than the windows in your doors", "the music do-dad has 6 favorite buttons." "These floor mats give you an extra 25 hp"

I'm quite convinced of the existence of a subset of people who never allow their ignorance of a subject to preclude them from bloviating on it.  This subset has always existed; it's just that before the internet, these folks (unless they worked in radio or television) were generally constrained to bending the ears of those within actual earshot (or calling people on the phone one at a time).  Now, of course, they can post as many videos as they want, limited only by their time, imagination, and bank accounts, and start racking up the views.

I was late to the quality flashlight world.  I came from the incandescent bulbs on mag lights.  Once I became a little more knowlegable it became quite funny to hear folks talking about flashlights who were still uninitiated.

I went camping with a bunch of semi-random people with different degrees of experience, a few years ago.  One guy had a cheap knockoff Leatherman-type tool that had a fish-scaler.  He's "sawing" through a branch with all his might, getting nowhere. 

I try to tell him that what he's got there is a fish scaler.  He tells me to shove off.    I stand my ground, taking my SAK out to show him the difference between a fish-scaler and a saw.  One of his pals comes over and tells me that I'm wrong, and to shut up,...  Then they decide together that the multitool he has is junk because the saw doesn't work...

Others I remember:

Guy reviews a cheapo MT, with all-inside tools that lock. Points to the locking tabs.
-These are covers to protect the tools underneath.

Guy reviews the SOG PowerLock.
(using the MT blade as a chisel) -I hammered it again and again, and it broke! Why did it break? It is tempered steel!
This guy was fun, but I would not trust him with anything sharp. I remember him repeating again and again that he pounded the MT with a hammer. And he was so surprised that the MT broke.

Guy reviews the Kilimanjaro Magnus.
-A compact package. :rofl:

Reviewers are sometimes in such a rush to upload content they end up making themselves looks silly.  We definitely have quite a variety of reviewers of knives over the last several years.  With the rush for some to create content or destroy tools it makes for some funny videos tho not by design.  We are laughing at you  :pok: while scratching our head  :think:.

Don't forget the guy who borrowed someone's Gerber CD and made a review about how the wire cutters couldn't handle the simple task of cutting what I believe was stainless steel welding wire. Also saw one where they broke the cutters on a nail.

:rofl:  ... how does it work?

I hope I can sleep tonight though, the steel cutting board story is creepy  :pok:

A friend insisted that a butcher said the best cutting block for using a cleaver has a steel surface,as in chop on the steel. I replied that their cleaver were probably never sharpened,let alone sharpened with convex edge.
