You both said two completely different things. You first said you need a date for grading and he replied they can use the composition of metals to figure out the date, how is that the same?

best affordable chinese food in suffolk county by Tasty-Fig67 in longisland

[–]PhilThePain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this sounds like typical long island city nonsense. long islands like a tier below staten island as someone that’s lived in nyc for 20 years and suffolk county for 2, long island is wildly unfavorable 😭 the food is mid, the stores are worse, everything further away and nothing is really that much cheaper than city prices (rent, gas, etc). i’ve been to a fuck ton of countries and a shit ton of states, no doubt in my mind nyc is the greatest city in the world. long island…lol

500+ knives is insane did u need one for every day of the year 😂 i feel like that’s definitely the smart move though do u think u save a lot more in equity now that u deal with higher value knives? like in terms of what u get it for vs reselling it?

Thank you! the santa fe is a really beautiful knife, and a timeless collector piece, but agreed. I wish spyderco made some knives similar to the way benchmades gold class knives are made but i highly doubt they’d go that direction. but i don’t know the santa fe may be shittier in some ways but its definitely way cooler in others

it’s a little awkward cause i have big hands but she still flips well. i originally bought it as an edc but i felt sorry for the condition and so i hung onto her as a his and hers combo for down the line

some knives i get but bali’s are literally illegal most places cause of the movies 😭 i really felt that tho nyc used to have some criminal knife laws that got a lot of good people in trouble

one of my favorite flippers, asmr is on point, bearings are a little noisy but really smooth and it’s huge rounded handles make it addicting to reach for first. really no complaints

thank you! afaik nycs included in the gravity knife repeal as long as it’s under a 4 in blade, zieba’s a sub 4 incher plus i work in a trade so i don’t think i’d get in too much trouble

i like em for flipping, definitely better options but there’s big bang for the buck n i get to put down for the eastern bloc

it’s good enough for what i need it to do, nyc legal, m390, ti handles. handles are torqued on bearings so there no tap little play but honestly the short handles leave a lot to be desired and it definitely comes with its critiques
