General Tool Discussion / Re: TitanSpin

I’ve seen the barrette before and always thought of it being an ill-conceived idea.  If the “blade” side has any sharpness at all you will damage your hair and potentially cut yourself just by putting in or taking out.

It is a sad time when an iconic tools for decades is being labeled a weapon by society.  But the sad truth is that is where we are at.  Even in the US, knives are being l restricted or banned in certain places. 

Even though I don’t like the reason, I do like the idea of having different bladeless options of SAKs. 

I currently have two SAK mods and a LM PS Style that are bladeless. If I think there will be a possibility that I have to go into a place where knives are not allowed, I will carry a bladeless tool paired with a Traditional or other knife.  This way I can leave the knife in the car and still have a tool if I go to a restricted place.

That looks like it will make a lot of birds happy.

DAY 5

Managing the children this morning, and they wanted to do rock painting, having the stainless Micra, I definitely needed a little colour.

I blued the words, and blacked the rule markings (I did try yellow first, but it didn't stand out)

The blue is hard to see, but the rule markings are much clearer

That looks awesome

Day 6

As a SAK fan, I can't say no to a multi with a corkscrew. MP400 CS is a good orange peeler.

Day 6: I’m back to the yellow Explorer today. I just love the new style magnifier too much to not use it.

Here’s a close-up of the striations on this fine example of a Lemurian quartz cluster. Legend says that these striations hold a secret language explaining the lost secrets of the universe.

The “blade” isn’t creating the image, a narrative is being constructed (by dishonest people, imo) and that is what creates the image.

I think Vic would be better served long term to try and educate why a knife, especially a SAK, is a tool and not a weapon. And if they want to have baseless models to meet demand, fine. Just not as an apparent capitulation to the crazies. They will never be satisfied anyway.

Well said.
