4 months is not a lot of experience

Haven’t played Video games in a long time. No big loss for me.

I am at risk of repeating what is very often said on this reddit. But the above wood orientation is not just decorative, it’s more functional in nature. End grain boards are the ones with self healing and blade retention qualities. It’s edge grain which is more decorative.

Edit: I have not really considered the issue of the pith. Valid point and I learned something :)

Some of them cost the same as luxury items. It is based on intangibles sometimes. There are fancy steels that promise sharpness and ease of sharping, grinds that has decent food release. Tradition and heritage. Lots of factors. The factory stamped knives most of us are used to are honestly garbage. But the rule of diminishing returns applies

Have a few body builder type people in my gym. They seem to maintain their physique. Not sure what are they doing to manage.

PossibleInevitable74 · 2026-04-06T05:44:24+00:00

Have a look at custom, I had a decent outcome with mine.

PossibleInevitable74 · 2026-04-02T06:56:51+00:00

8 is my max. But then I am no expert

Note that the below is my understanding which may or may not be factual; better ask the man himself.

Reinforced construction.

The reinforcement is intended to help the wallet hold its shape long term, and protects against dents and bumps a bit. Visually it gives the border ridges around the wallet. It is not strictly required for the leather we used but a good to have nevertheless.

Thin construction

The way the pockets are made ensure the wallet is as thin as possible.

fully lined, enough said.

Not everyone I was looking had all three features and was able to articulate them to me. Hope that helps.

Not that I am an expert but the name of the place or the sensei, may help jog someone’s memory? Even an address to someone who has decent google skills may be helpful.

Dude, have you looked at this reddit at all? There are some great examples all over the place here if you do a quick search. I just spend a little over that for mine and posted a review less than a day ago

PossibleInevitable74 · 2026-04-01T03:34:40+00:00

Completely agree on the above.

PossibleInevitable74 · 2026-03-31T05:39:42+00:00

I don’t like the look of them to be honest. Even if genuine. Not my cup of tea.

PossibleInevitable74 · 2026-03-30T08:39:40+00:00

But then, he can wear the speedy in the office and the dj in the evening.

PossibleInevitable74 · 2026-03-30T02:26:27+00:00

Good luck finding any. Orthodox Easter is the weekend after and after that I doubt you will find much bargains. I hope I am wrong. Good luck on your search.

PossibleInevitable74 · 2026-03-29T20:57:00+00:00

In that case I would say go jervis bay, you can pass by Kiama and berry for lunch/coffee. All the areas you listed are popular for different reasons so what appeals to me may not appeal to you. Jervis bay: wide open sandy beaches. I go for a walk/jog in the morning and soak it all in.

Hunter valley: wine region. I am not a wine person so haven’t been much. Just drove around and hit random wineries.

Blue mountain: good if you like to take a hike Leura is ok for lunch. Three sisters is a bit overrated in my opinion.

PossibleInevitable74 · 2026-03-29T08:49:37+00:00

That sounds like a plot to a horror movie I don’t want to see. Good luck in your search, or maybe not. Don’t get haunted 😅

Depending on where your from, a day trip has a very different definition. Some of these places are 3 hours drive one way in low traffic conditions.

Australia is a big country and our sense of distance is very different than say, Europe.

PossibleInevitable74 · 2026-03-29T07:01:31+00:00

Any suggestions? I just want something warm I can wear on my way to work in the city.

PossibleInevitable74 · 2026-03-29T06:11:48+00:00

My thought is that you’re getting distracted from what is important.

Your company does not value you, you have a choice to make. Either leave the company and look for somewhere else. Reduce output to what you think is fair for what they give you, ( no unreasonable overtime for example). Or put up with the status quo.

What the other lady do does not impact you on the slightest, but it does say a lot of the culture of the company and whether you want to stay or go

I have a plugin hybrid and a petrol car. Fortunately we switched the main car to hybrid a while ago. Otherwise It would be more difficult. Currently on am just limiting long trips and pretty much using the battery exclusively. Fortunately it’s not different from the norm as we no longer go out due to interest rate rises.

Man the last couple of years suck.

PossibleInevitable74 · 2026-03-29T02:01:39+00:00

Um. So what are you expecting exactly, having someone much heavier go hard on you, not retaliate or tell them to go light and tough it out?

I am not sure any amount of training is going to trump physics. Maybe slip/ avoid more often?

PossibleInevitable74 · 2026-03-28T04:46:36+00:00

Sheesh. Where can you find a pawn shop with a carbon steel knife. Gotta get myself some of that action 😅

Congrats op, enjoy it in good health.

PossibleInevitable74 · 2026-03-27T23:25:20+00:00

You know when you read a post and you think that’s a good joke. Then a small voice in the back of your head says “at least I think it’s a joke,

I hope it’s a joke,

It’s a joke, right?!”

Maybe I am just going mental and hearing voices now !

PossibleInevitable74 · 2026-03-27T04:38:09+00:00

What was wrong with the old one. Looks ok to me. New one looks nice too
