I wonder how much of those are due to tax and how much is the profit margin by the local distributor. Btw, I just went to Amazon US and saw Wingman and Sidekick are now both 60usd? That's also pretty crazy...considering they were only 20-30(IIRC).
This challenge is designed to be fun. The tool sets will change up to four times. And there is (with a good hand) the possibility of a wide latitude of carry options. The primary requirement is to post at least one photo of one of your permitted tools during the course of the day. There is no requirement to carry all tools at all times of day and night. If you can't legally carry a tool, Do NOT! Just post a photo of that tool (and tell us that you couldn't carry it for legal or pragmatic reasons).
The challenge isn't designed to see if you can survive for 30 days with just a SAK Rambler, a box of Jaffa cakes, and a Speedo. (That just one of Fuzzy's quirky hobbies.) We're using the game of Poker to have some fun, share some tools, have a laugh or two, and hopefully get through a cold dark month in northern latitudes.
To keep this challenge as open and accessible as possible, for purposes of the challenge a "Fixed blade" is any knife that does not fold, close, or retract. This can include outdoors knives, hobby knives, or kitchen knives. (comis and I love kitchen knives!) If it is a fixed blade knife that you own and use, it will count! You don't have to carry your craft knife or paring knife all day, you just have to post up a photo of it.....until you can get a better hand by drawing more cards or in the second round.
In this challenge, the suit of Spades indicates a "Fixed blade" knife. So, if your current hand is dominated by Spades, you could end up with a Fixed blade for that portion of the challenge. But this could be an Xacto knife you use for stamp collecting or a cleaver you use for chopping BBQ.
If you felt you couldn't join in this Winter-time challenge because you don't own a Bowie knife, don't sweat it: that kitchen knife you use to open the morning box of cereal counts.
Remember, while there are Milk Duds and Gummy bears on the line here, it is just for fun. Be safe & be legal!
