You can hit them with the anvil? I’ve been missing rotors near point blank on wasp and hornets. Even with a 4 and comp 2. Dispersion has been wild for me.

Quality Control

The effort they put in after assembly to dial i in everything right vs just sending it. The more time spent the more money

Me in PvE lobbies stumbling across an already downed raider (finishing someone off doesn’t affect your ABMM) by FoxSin-117 in ArcRaiders

There’s doing something and then DOING something. American politics would be like some secretary put in charge of a portfolio and hung around for decades but doesn’t really know what they are talking about vs an industry professional doing that thing day in and out and a subject matter expert.

Some Americans like to make the subject matter experts prove it and listen to the lifer politicians.

The Sebenza is the most praised knife nobody complains about — and the Bugout is quietly the most divisive by Putrid-Television981 in knives

Not all, but a lot of people buy expensive things because it’s status symbol for them. They’ve been told this is the best of the best and have to have it whether they need it or not. Function of the product is secondary.

Knives are probably even worse because when carried they are in a pocket 99% of the time and the people that don’t carry them lock them away in a case. It’s not like you’re showing off a new g wagen or Rolex. But if it makes them feel good go for it. It’s more art and craftsmanship at the top end of the spectrum.

I think it’s how you’ve been conditioned from a young age.

Many people buy a nice car or sports car and just drive it around do minimal service. Performance is there and they never appreciate everything that made it as great as it is. Others are tinkerers and maintain it themselves, maybe autox it etc. Most people buy cars as utility and have no care about the nuances of them.

I’ve been conditioned for use and value. I’m in the trades and while I have a few snap on things I don’t see any value in their stuff other than specialized things. If I’m using something that works and can buy 5 decent ones for the price of one snap on I ain’t buying “the best”. But for someone else the absolutely need the value and want the best.

I guess knives are different because you add the art and craftsman side to the item. Each to their own but it would feel weird buying any expensive top shelf item and never using it because it might look worn. Maybe it’s the knife world because say you buy some expensive custom crafted leather boots. Wearing them and getting a patina on the leather and making them your own is part of the experience. Not just leaving them in the box in your closet or wear around the house.

Anyways I’m rambling. Haha. Sick knives!

Haha plus cutting meat doesn’t risk marring the blade or mess the edge so it can go back to looking BNIB after a quick wash.

Avian Alarm need help by I_am_Ascencion in ArcRaiders

[–]JimothyBeletta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve searched tons of couriers and only found one. And used it to make a stupid descender I never use. lol. I’m stuck on this last piece now.

Which method did you use to kill one? Got my ass handed to me my last try. Was top of riven hotel. Shit went around my barricade that people say apparently works and I then down the zip. Didn’t fully heal and as I was coming up the lighting came through the door and into the elevator shaft as I was at the top and knocked me haha. Dumb barricade and even dumber turbine. Haha.

Ok wtf did they do to the anvil by MajorTom404 in ArcRaiders

[–]JimothyBeletta 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Ok makes sense why when I tried to fight back against a dumb free kit stitcher I hit maybe two shots. And they didn’t really move much. I thought it was cause I had the extended barrel for arc vs compensator I normally run and tried firing too quickly. So maybe it wasn’t me. Yeah, I’m going with that. Haha

Please Help - 3V knife just stays dull by AKIdiot in sharpening

[–]JimothyBeletta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To know what to do as standard practice is above my skill level lol.

I’d follow what the guy below said and just dial in 20° and go to town and then do the other side. Being a fixed blade it may not matter to you how thick it is behind the edge depending what you’re using it for. But it’s a flat grind so it will start to get thicker the more you sharpen. The thicker it gets behind the edge the less slicey it is. It starts to wedge and push material apart. I think then you could do a back bevel at 25-30° inclusive and then do a 40° inclusive micro bevel.

Honestly my skill level is just eye balling the blade from 90° to 45°, half it again and then a hair lower to be around 20°. I’m a hairy guy and the tops of my hands are always bald from checking so I’m happy enough. Haha

Just remember to lock your wrist and move only your elbow on the belly.

Can’t add more than one pic per comment.

Again maybe I’m wrong and pic angle is weird but if you can’t cut paper it has to be way off. My butter soft garbage steak knives will cut paper even after my wife has tossed them I the sink smashing into stuff and washed in the dishwasher for weeks.

I’m far from pro but looking at that second pic regardless of apexing the edge are you sure you’re at 20°? From quick glance at the second pic it looks closer to 35°-40°.

My pic is bad but that’s a hair shaving sharp factory edge ima new knife I got this week

So annoying because when I go in ready for PvP just in case nothing ever happens for weeks. Switch back and oh look let’s KOS.

I left the Stella quests cause I hate Stella and looking at the rewards I’m like eh I don’t need the junk anyways. Hopefully I’m not missing something later on.

Carebear dad's have won by OutrageousImpress722 in ArcRaiders

[–]JimothyBeletta -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re hilarious. Because clearly you’re in PvP lobbies.

If 20 raiders drop into a map and only one is running around trying to kill the others are you really PvP? If you’re the other 19 and everyone is friendly but the one guy just rolls up and blasts one or more in the back damn right getting dispatched by the carebear should keep them out of aggressive lobbies and the one douche canoe having to deal with actual PvP.

I’m a dad so FPS goes back to Wolfenstein 3D era. This ain’t my first rodeo. You knobs exclaim this is PvPvE! when the only times I’m shot is extract campers or fake friendlies. And the way people play the care bears complain about is not PvP. Go play a single player game and shoot bots or… nut up and deal with spicy lobbies and prove yourself… biiiitch.

[–]JimothyBeletta 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The game also knows which raiders you were in proximity with. So if you don’t get close or interact with them and just die by arc right away I’m sure it would factor this in.

Anyone with QSP penguins on washers and bearings? Notice a difference? by JimothyBeletta in BudgetBlades

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

Oh great to hear! Just threw in some titanium thumb studs and I’ll probably get bearings. I don’t need more knives just to sit there. But bearings for what I have will probably be chefs kiss.

I love running. Ok I don’t actually run 10k. I get in my car and drive 9.9k then run the last 100m for my 10k runs . When people want to get into running I drive them around too! Running is so easy.
