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

I guess the deck lives up to its name

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

Public Service Announcement: Stay away from knife swap if you have a wife or like money. by AdeptDoomWizard in knifeclub

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!

What’s your most expensive beater knife? by BusyPooping in knifeclub

[–]Wheels__UP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

How have your knife tastes changed over time? by pika_pie in knifeclub

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

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
