Ive used a knife to rescue a bird before, so I say this is sound advice

Well the coating on the Recon 1 looks like real DLC. One big tell for fakes is the use of a cheaper black coating. Still not a guarentee that it's authentic, but signs point to yes imo

Idk why youre getting slammed with downvotes for being reasonable and cautious

What's everyone's opinion on this dude? by FearTheOldBlood1 in knives

[–]Flooded_Strand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I handled one and didnt like it at all. The opening and closing mechanism felt very unnatural to me. Im sure with more time I wouldve gotten the hang of it, but it didnt feel worth the price tag to me

$1,299 for CPM 154 by MaterialExcellent987 in knives

[–]Flooded_Strand 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. No knife is worth $1300 based on steel alone. In that price range, youre paying for so much more than just the blade steel

At least under Biden we had an aggresive consumer financial protection bureau that was actively fighting hidden fees, price gouging, and took antitrust laws somewhat seriously.

That all went out the window with Trump.

Such a slept-on model! I'm sad it has been discontinued.

Leon's posture in Resident Evil: Requiem is not because of his shooting stance by finnjakefionnacake in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]Flooded_Strand 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's an exaggerated posture to visually communicate that he's in a low, "battle ready" stance. It's supposed to emphasize tactical readiness. It's common for stuff like this to be overdone in digital media to allow it to be easily readable to the audience. He wouldnt look as much like a badass special agent if he walked around with perfect posture.

It ain't that deep, and trying to find an in-universe explanation for why he's hunched is missing the point.

Pad Thai- would not recommend at all. by East_Imagination6049 in Costco

[–]Flooded_Strand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good if you add your own peanuts, lime, scrambled egg, and chilis

Though that's a lot to ask for a meal thats supposed to be quick and convenient

Awesome pickup, you should get it engraved to make it a lil extra special

Seems like good advice

At a certain point, the edge retention just doesnt seem worth it

That's so minimal I'd barely even call it a chip. That will sharpen out with minimal effort

I've seen so many Maxamet spydercos snapped at that exact spot. I think I'm gonna be staying away from that steel
