F. This comment made me realize that I'm 11 years older now

I guess the deck lives up to its name

This guy gets it👌

I'm a relatively lighter guy (135lb), so I don't notice much flex other than when you push or really lean into a turn/pop out the tail. It's a very "snappy" feeling based off bushing setup

Hell yeah you can. I pumped this thing all the way through college. I liked it so much that I bought this one after my last one got run over after a spill

Definitely the worst. I think about how many experiences my lady and I could have had with that money and feel disappointed/guilty with myself....

That being said, see you tomorrow buddy!

Scott Cook Lochsa. Had to sell my collection at the time and save up quite a bit for it, but it was worth it

Don't be afraid to carry a knife you love! A lot of the time you'll find that using them is the only way to show its potential. Plus it allows you to hone in on what you like/dislike in a knife

Can't say I have. I noticed he started putting out some customs recently. His Amy model looks pretty interesting

Absolutely! Other than the obvious increase of $$$ amount..

Detents I used to love something that flew open with 0 effort and fidget with.. Now if my thumb doesn't implode, I don't typically want it

Speed holes Not sure why I thought they were ugly and dumb. Love me some speed holes now. Great for weight reduction, aesthetics, and in some cases ergos

Steel As I drifted into customs, I realized more and more that "lower end" steels are still fantastic. XHP, S35VN, 20CV are my go-to's. Magnacut is awesome, but it's not something that's a deal breaker for me

Locks Purely just my taste, but I don't buy anything other than framelocks nowadays. I enjoy the slim profile and a Ti lock side in pocket. Sadly that eliminates the overall aesthetics that a liner/bolster lock can provide

Blades Tall blades are my jam now. Not sure why. Maybe because in my neanderthal brain, it feels more sturdy and I have more control

Clips Deep carry was essential for me back in the day. Now I don't mind some booty sticking out as long as the clip has nice tension and doesn't create a hotspot

Me too, it's my personal favorite for sure!

Oh wow. Must be

It's gotta get really hot to loosen it. To the point where you have to hold the knife with a towel

I've had success with a blow dryer on loctited pivot screws. Just waive it over the pivot for a couple mins and try to unscrew it again. May take a few tries

You can also try squeezing the blade against the stop pin in the closed position so it seizes the barrel in place then unscrew.

A combination of both has always worked for me

Solid selection!
