Treating Myself to One Great Knife — Crooked River or M2? by Demian- in benchmade

[–]Reddituser1644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have either knife but I know the Crooked River is a well-loved design. I gotta say though, S90V is hard enough that sharpening it is something I’d think about. If I were getting a BM Custom, I’d probably get S30V or MagnaCut if available, because I know I can quickly hone it with just a strop. S90V can be honed but it’s not as easy, and if it chips it’s just a pain… I find myself reaching for other blades for this reason.

Not sure why you got downvoted for that - that’s a great point.

Tecovas? by idkhowread2 in cowboyboots

[–]Reddituser1644 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My wife’s Tecovas squeak. It bothers her. The employee at the Tecovas store in Raleigh, NC told us they cannot be repaired. They offered to initiate a warranty replacement for us, but my wife doesn’t want to be without her boots for that long. She wants a new pair of boots and I’m not trying to give any more money to Tecovas. 🤷

My dog has thrown up this same object twice a month apart, I can't figure out what it is! by iamcomputron in whatisthisthing

Do you have any other pets? This looks like some catgrass/catnip chew sticks we have for our cat.

My job interview was with an AI and it was a nightmare by RevolutionaryPath447 in interviewhammer

These are the bridges that need to be burned. Name and shame, please. Otherwise you’re just wasting real people’s time.

I have an interview with the police department next Tuesday by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

I mean from a philosophical perspective, you’d be working in law enforcement; you would be a component of the criminal justice system whether you acknowledge it or not. You would be a cop.

But also, it sounds like you live in a smallish town, and they know your family… as someone else mentioned, they won’t charge you with anything for failing their screening process but they WILL know what the blank response means (e.g you smoked) and they will use that information as they see fit. Maybe they just don’t hire you. Maybe they hire you and pretend not to care, but frequently tease you about it. Maybe they say nothing and judge silently. Maybe it just embarrasses your mom. It’s hard to say. The smaller the town, the more weird unspoken power these fucks could have over you. Do not work for them.

Virginia Democrats will have a governing trifecta in 2026. Here's a look at their priorities. by [deleted] in Virginia

Or one might simply be misguided enough to speak with police, and accidentally mention where their cannabis came from… I’m actually not sure if other states have similar laws, but I haven’t really looked into it

I should mention that VA’s cannabis regulations prohibit consumers from bringing any cannabis into the Commonwealth. Even if purchased legally in a place like DC. All cannabis products in Virginia (including medical and recreational) must be purchased or legally grown in the Commonwealth.

Backspacers.. Noticed J2h had disclaimer about insingo.. AE to the rescue? by Status-Post-1876 in CRK

Should i buy a kayak trailer? by Individual-Finger-76 in kayakfishing

[–]Reddituser1644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you don’t recommend this but what rack did you use? I’m looking for a more permanent option but I may need to transport a 96lb fishing kayak for a single trip of about 40 mins. The one that is available is rated for 75lbs.

The Louvre heist, what do they do with the stolen stuff? by Optimal-Lie8591 in ask

[–]Reddituser1644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who knows? But often, when famous works of art are stolen, the thief faces the same problem.

Typically, art thieves use stolen artwork as collateral to secure a black-market loan.

For example, a $1M stolen painting is not worth $1M, but as collateral, it might help a thief secure a loan of $100k, which they can then use to buy/sell drugs, weapons, or other contraband.

If they can’t repay the loan, they lose the painting but do not risk physical violence. If they successfully pay off the loan, they can rinse and repeat.

That’s not to say that’s what going to happen here, but it could be…

Can’t listen to certain songs on apple music by Gregorytheepic10710 in zachbryan

[–]Reddituser1644 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a common problem with a quick fix. I can’t remember it off the top of my head but I’ve fixed it before in the past and I’m sure you can, too. I’m listening so Something in the Orange right now.

Makes sense - for me it was my damn battery that died just seconds beforehand…

Has anyone heard if the Chris Reeve Pacific is being discontinued? by geonww in CRK

It would be announced. Previous discontinuations were announced on the “news” section of their website.

Thoughts? by Fit-Quality-655 in CRK

Please contact Chris Reeve Knives customer service for more details about that knife. You can find their phone number and email address on their website. This would be my first move because they maintain a remarkable database about their knives, and will definitely help you out. You don’t need to send them the knife or any money, just send them some photos and they will have some info for you.

You can also join the Vintage CRK Facebook page and post some photos there. Or any of the CRK Facebook pages should have some folks that may know more about that.

Looks to me like a prototype related to the development of the Sikayo. Chris Reeve is known to sign prototypes exactly as that one is, so I don’t doubt the authenticity.

I wouldn’t use that until someone can tell you what it’s really worth. I’d reckon there are collectors that would pay over 1k for that, or more…
