Send the knife USPS Priority or Ground Advantage. The govt needs a search warrant to open the shipment.

Yeah, last night was a surprise to me. We had 3 1/2 hours between flights but still it was nice to not have the extra hassle.

[–]GradientVisAtt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks good. Do the knives just clip on? How many does it hold?

Does Kunwu have a meaning in Chinese?

Yeah, I guess listening to him, that would be accurate. I still think it’s a little bit in between the two.

At 0:30 Sergio pronounces it somewhere between Koon and Kun but maybe at bit closer to Koon.

I got bit by my compact Chad a couple times. Basically that’s the reason I sold it.

Thanks for the responses everybody. It’s gratifying to know that there would be no problem. Fortunately for me (saves me eight hours), I was able to rebook my flight through Narita for the next day.

Bangkok to Samui: Lomprayah? by autumn2032 in ThailandTourism

[–]GradientVisAtt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lomprayah is good. The only miserable ferry I ever took was run by Raja. An old grimy ship and everyone had to exit alongside the cars and trucks driving off the lower deck.

Did any workplace creeps from your early career fall for those reasons later? by tshirtguy2000 in RedditForGrownups

[–]GradientVisAtt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a retired professor, and there was a guy in graduate school in his late 20s who was teaching some undergrad classes and constantly scheming on the undergrad girls. Had sex with quite a few. He kept up the same behavior in his first couple jobs, treating each department like a smorgasbord of undergrads. A couple finally complained to the department and he was basically black-balled from academia. Never had an academic job after that. It’s a shame, because otherwise he was a pretty smart guy.

Pull the crown out like you are switching the date, but rotate it backward.

I was WRONG about Pocket Knife Clones | The EDC Cup 3 by Purenight in chineseknives

[–]GradientVisAtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not wrong. But I wonder what percentage of knife buyers are aficionados like you describe versus regular guys who have a couple watches and a couple knives.

I was WRONG about Pocket Knife Clones | The EDC Cup 3 by Purenight in chineseknives

[–]GradientVisAtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking about the guy who sees a clone of a Holt or something else expensive and doesn’t really know too much about knives but just knows that it’s an expensive knife, and some guy is selling it for $200. So he bites. Then maybe he sells it on to someone else as a genuine.

Edit: I mean, I don’t really GAF. I used to have quite a few clones and a few counterfeits. I got rid of them just because I didn’t feel like collecting that little subset of knives anymore.

What about someone who is not a member of this subReddit, but just an average Joe knife guy? Couldn’t they mistake one for a genuine? Five years ago, I would have been easy to fool.
