@Tet



The new card, 10 of diamonds!  You were so close for getting the lead hand, but just not today... :ahhh

Still the original Two pairs will continue to give you access to 2 fixie and 2 traditional/modern folder, and please do feel free to rotate to new set of tools if you want for the remaining lag of the challenge! :cheers:

@comis,
I’ll keep my pair of Jacks and draw three new cards, please.
Yikes, quick apology, I remembered seeing your request earlier and pardon for the slip!  Coming right up!

Ok thanks mate!  I'll keep using my Mini-Griptilian and Fällkniven S1.  And I'll add a Spyderco meerkat and an Obake that hopefully will arrive to me tomorrow!

Nice try, but the Pair of Jacks still the highlight of the hand.  Since we are entering into the final lag of the challenge, if you would like to change, you are more than welcomed to switch to new set of gears based on the suits--a pliers based MT and a traditional/modern folder.  I wished you'd get a chance to use the new fixie you just got, but in some way I am also glad to be able to see more of that traditional folder of yours.  It's sure is a looker!

Start dealing across the pond, in case I somehow missed your request, please always feel free to let me know! :ahhh

Almost got that two pairs but who would have guessed?  The pair of ace will continue to grant you the use of a pliers based MT and a traditional/modern folder.  A desirable combo to begin with.  :tu:

So close yet so far :ahhh Thanks comis :salute: I am not sure if I will change the MT and the knife yet :think: may change one or the other or both :shrug:  I think I will keep the other carry today and that will give me some time to think of something else for this upcoming week that we have left  :cheers:

Quick rule clarification: does the multitool have to be pliers based or can it be scissors based?

I think technically it should be pliers based, but personally I am fine if it is scissors based so as long it is something like a LM Raptor or a LM Micra(which has two halves that fold together), but definitely shouldn't resemble a SAK or multi-bladed traditional tool.

Nix, what do you think?

Poker Day 21:


New hand, new carries.

With a Queen of Hearts and Diamonds, I'm authorized a SAK and a Multitool. I'm going to overlap a tiny bit with the FX challenge starting in March, so I figured a FX was a good bet. And, for me multitool, I'm going with a LM Skeletool.

With this combo, I've got blades, scissors, pliers, openers, drivers, and that fabulous in-line awl. This seems like a very handy combo for the next week.  :tu:

Thanks for sharing.

I had just moved to San Diego in 2003 when a wild fire, a remember it being one of the most scary situations in my life.  I wasn’t around long enough to see the recovery, so your description and photos are interesting.

Typing this reminded me of how trying summer and fall of 2003 was for me.  In July, I had just flown back to the US from 6 months deployed on a ship that I was supposed to have transferred off of in December of 2002.  Shortly after arriving back in the US, I was in a motorcycle accident where I was fortunate not to mess myself up too bad but still sustained some injuries.  About a month later, I was living in a hotel in Virginia when a hurricane hit, taking out the electrical power and blocking most roads for over a week.   Shortly after that I arrived in San Diego.  I had just moved into an apartment when I had to evacuate it and get underway, not knowing the status of my apartment or stuff, due to wildfires.  I faired better than many through all of that but it was definitely a stressful 4 months.

That's a lot to take in in 4 month  :o

Since I kept the pair of 10s, I will stick to the Wave and SwissBuck.  For the pair of 9s, I’ll add a ZT0562Ti that goes so well with the Wave and a Southern Grind Vermin.

Very nice combo Sherry  :like: :like:

Day 21...



My draw brought no help to my hand, so I stay with a Multitool and a folder. In keeping with the original intent of the rules I’m switching my LM P4 to a Victorinox Spirit -no idea what model. And just for @comis, I’ll stick with the Charlie Bell Zulu Spear in antique Westinghouse butterscotch micarta (trust me, it is no great burden to keep it in my pocket). 

In retrospect, I should have bribed the dealer for a fixie and a SAK... >:D

Day 21
I used the SwissBuck to open a bottle of beer and the Vermin to cut open a pouch of dog food for Fisher, which he licked clean.

I’d love to see a clearer pick of your Vermin. I’ve not seen one before.

Since my new hand allows a SAK and a MT I've happily chosen the Wave and Alox MiniChamp combo for the last week.

No uses came up but I had them out on a hike today.

Matt Junior asked if I could post a picture of his Leap as well, hope you guys don't mind  :hatsoff:

Separate note, can we try and keep the gifs more PC please guys? I look at the forum in front of people a lot and sometimes it's my young nieces and nephews (in the middle of converting them, one SAK Classic at a time..)
