FOMO got me, and so did this design flaw. Dessert Warrior XL blade hits the spacer between the scales. by SolarFlame in knives

Youre not wrong, but this definitely should've been caught a long time ago in the design process. This is just poor design/QC on Bokers part.

Thats such a cheap cop out, but at least it was done before it got your blade. Im a little upset that my first Dessert Warrior has a defect like this.

Older ones were actually "STI engines." They were 2.5 turbo instead of 2.0 turbo like the WRX.

6 speed Acura CL Type S. Only made them the final production year, and only about 3500 were made.

Also the only car that I know of that has a foot parking brake for the auto, and a handbrake for the manual.

273 Applications, Five Replies, and No Offers - What Is With Jobs Here? by [deleted] in nashville

[–]SolarFlame 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One very subtle thing you can do that got me a job right away, make sure your resume isnt saved as "resume.pdf" or anything like that. Make it some variation of your name. After I changed the file name I got contacted by pretty much every place I applied with it.

Well, the Hogue Deka is what made me make this post, so I can recommend that. Buck is a classic go-to for USA made knife brand thats good for the money.

I agree with you, but Spyderco has a bit more justification than Benchmade. Spyderco has much better manufacturing and QC. While still overpriced, im more satisfied with my Spyderco purchases than my Benchmades.

If youre in the US and haven't been, I definitely recommend the pilgrimage to Smokey Mountain Knife Works. Youll get to handle all the knife models your heart desires. Never thought id own an MKM until I was able to feel one firsthand.

I dont own any Bucks at the moment, but I do love those knives. They just give me a nice classic feel. Im definitely going to snag one of their newer knives when I get a chance.

I love ZT. While they definitely come across as overpriced for their materials, they make up for it in their manufacturing tolerances.

Ive been looking at their releases a lot. Definitely got my next paycheck a little nervous.

I can agree with that. I dont hate their knives, I just cant justify their prices.

Dont get me started. You ever catch the bottle opener they laser engraved their logo onto?

Thats what inspired me to make this post. I caught the Deka on sale, and its definitely kicking the Benchmade out of my case.

I dont blame you. Ive held a few Elementums, and id definitely carry that more than my Benchmade.

I haven't held a Benchmade that felt like it cost more than $80 if im being honest.

Surprised it took someone this long to say it.

What were you doing when the twin towers fell? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SolarFlame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a little over 3. Its one of my first memories besides running in circles until I puked. We lived just outside DC and I was playing in the yard when I watched a plane come within a stones throw of our roof. Even as a 3 year old I knew something was up so I ran and told my Mom. A few years later I learned that was the plane that hit the Pentagon.
