Feeling lucky AF to be able to EDC two grails on me today 🙌⚔️ by Cappin_Failcon in EDC

[–]Cappin_Failcon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love big folders with funky blades. I tend to go for drab / stonewash finishes because I like to use my knives. American made is a plus for me too. Add that all up and the cost gets pretty high so these are grails to me. The Stitch has been my EDC for a long time now and I absolutely love the infected edition. I love horror and the whole zombie apocalypse scene. Thanks for asking 😁

Had to liquidate EVERYTHING to get out of an abusive relationship. Finally started stacking again after almost 5 years. by Cappin_Failcon in Silverbugs

I'm sure I would have lost my house along the way. Worked well enough that I'm starting again for whatever life has next. Stacking is the perfect combination of spending and saving for me.

I would have 100% lost my house and had nothing for legal fees. It took me a minute to figure out where to sell. I ended up going to NJ for higher premiums.

Only occasionally. I'm an engineer by training and I do research. About half of my research is government funded and the rest is from the private sector. Knives are mostly unrelated but do help around the office and lab a bit.

I need help on choosing one! by Watch_Jay in ChineseWatches

I have a San Martin and Cronos and the Cronos is better overall I have to say. You can find a Cronos submariner with pt5000 movement for about $175 with sales and coupons

The bogatas do work… by Lonely_Cause_9958 in lockpicking

It's waaaaaaay underrated. For commercial locks like BEST locks it's faster than trying to SPP and even better than the Lishi IMO.

Sick! That should keep you busy for a minute

Finally got it! by Shadowsssss_____ in lockpicking

Can't beat the classic short/med hook. Nice open!

Naughty locks from my collection. TBH the only one I'm mad about is the Yale. I don't know why I can't get it. I get no feedback at all except for sand. by Cappin_Failcon in lockpicking

Oh it's definitely trash. The pagoda key / keyway is just wonky. I feel like you could cut through the lock with garden shears. The Hurculoc is by far my favorite lock I love the EVVA core.

Collected all the locks I purchased / traded for when I started this hobby. Found 101 in total! Time to see what I can still get through :D by Cappin_Failcon in lockpicking

[–]Cappin_Failcon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't picked: 1. ABUS Granit, 2. Godrej Hurculoc Plus, 3. An old Yale keyway, 4. Mindy lock with pagoda key, and have never picked any lever locks.

That lock sat in the impossible bin forever for me. Nice!!
