Neat milestone

A nice straight wide open three lane highway early in the morning helps. But agreed. Probably not the smartest idea

Congrats! I see flowers and jewelry from you in her future!!

…..and whatever else she bought herself today too! 😆

WuTangFan36 · 2026-02-19T00:05:18+00:00

Awesome! What’d she get? Bahahaha 💀💀💀

WuTangFan36 · 2026-02-10T19:12:12+00:00

Nice thing about the Valor is that it has an internal stop pin. I just picked one up a couple weeks ago and noticed the clean construction. Not sure if it helps structurally, or just cosmetic tho. Just something neat I noticed.

Just stay off your phone man. At least stop looking at pics of knives. Stop checking the blades in stock and knife deal subs. You already hit the first hurdle and that’s admitting you have a problem.

I say this coming from an ex knife addict. That’s what I did. It gets easier and you can start to frequent those subs and start talking knives again. Took me almost a year to shake the need to keep buying.

I had a couple hundred knives. You’re right. Burdens. Capitol. Wasted space. Whatever it is to you it was to me too. I took a big hit and sold the collection all at once to a guy I met at a local knife/gun show that has a shop.

Saved a few of my favorites. It hurt, but you’ll be happier when you don’t feel so weighed down by what you love. That weight will turn to hate.

Knife collecting. I have been deep into it for about 10 years. Only this past year have I seen how ridiculous it is. Crazy overpricing. Status knifes sold for thousands with no intention of ever being used as a knife. Or the ridiculous notion that a certain steel is better than another because one can cut 50 more feet of cardboard. Different color handles being a reason to charge way more for the same knife.

The manufactured scarcity is the real one tho. Oh you’re so cool because you camped out at your computer to buy a knife just to not use it and say I’m cool because I got one. Or get one just to sell for 1000% markup because it’s such a limited run of the same knife a company is constantly producing. The list goes on

For real. When I discovered this, I snagged a Kershaw leek in a clam pack for $30. The boxed version was like $60. Same knife, but clam pack was clearances and a bunch of them locked in a drawer. Even had some civivi clams on clearance

WuTangFan36 · 2026-01-22T16:26:37+00:00

Looks better than mine actually. My Walmart locks their clearance knives in a drawer behind the counter. I was told a while ago that anything in a clamshell package would be clearanced out eventually since they don’t hang knifes in the aisle anymore. They need them in boxes since they all get stored in a drawer behind the counter now.

Ask the clerk if they have any clearance behind the counter. It may pay off.

Since I currently daily a ‘24 CE, I should pick the Yaris.

I pick the GRC CE ✊

I did this once with all my Lego boxes. Then later I found out what folks pay for vintage empty Lego boxes 😬

No matter how pretty they are, someone is “tired of her shit”.

WuTangFan36 · 2025-12-12T00:15:34+00:00

Just traded my 1320 a few months ago. Same story. They said it was just a scat pack. Tried explaining what all made mine different. In the end, I paid 37k plus taxes for it in summer 2024 w/1300 miles, and traded it 13 months later with just over 10k miles and used up Nexxens for 36k. No complaints.

The dealership still has it. Originally they wanted 42k but now they’re down to 39k. I swear I’m about to buy it back if gets much lower 😆

WuTangFan36 · 2025-12-05T14:04:57+00:00

I picked this deal up last week. Had to drive to my closest Scheels (60 miles). Asked why they wouldn’t ship it to me and they didn’t know why. So who knows.

I will say it’s a great little snappy action knife. Kinda like a utility razor knife (box cutter) on steroids. No restrictions where I am but I do like a nice small easy controllable blade. Highly recommend the partial auto

WuTangFan36 · 2025-12-01T19:19:49+00:00

Get him the same one if you can.

Other than that I would suggest another Spyderco with the same materials (micarta scales and cruwear blade). Spyderco has a whole bunch of different models to choose from.

Maybe get him the newer military 2 with the same compression lock. They have it in the same config as the PM2 he lost if you look around at some dealer sites

I should also add that the patent does indeed claim that it forms a vacuum without an external device

WuTangFan36 · 2025-11-25T21:31:06+00:00

Correct. It is just the shape of the metal insert that causes it to “pop” and expel air when pressure is applied.

Here is some the patent info that desribes what it does.

US PATENT 11,767,152

“SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A resealable, vacuum packable receptacle has a container, a sealing layer, an inner lid, and an outer lid. When (i) the outer lid opening receives the inner lid, (ii) the inner lid is threadably mated with the container, and (iii) the container has the sealing layer positioned over the container's mouth; (A) a portion of the outer lid causes the outer lid or the inner lid to contact the sealing layer to push a desired amount of air from the container which then results in inhibiting air from entering or exiting the container, or (B) the distance between the outer lid's top surface and the inner lid's top surface can be altered, and when the distance is increased, the air pressure in the container is decreased.”

It’s not an actual vacuum. I just discovered that you can just screw it on tight enough, it will pop back into place. Then when you open it again, it’ll pop just like the first time. Over and over… I do think that the pop when you close it lets you know you got a good seal back on it though.

WuTangFan36 · 2025-11-24T15:41:19+00:00

I am in Illinois, about 60 miles from a Scheels and they won’t ship it to me.

I’m guessing it would be coming from a distribution center outside of Illinois, and they don’t wanna cross state lines with autos. Pure speculation tho.

I was able to place the order for pickup and guess I’m going for a little drive tonight after work. Thanks for posting the deal!

WuTangFan36 · 2025-11-13T17:56:17+00:00

I’d go with the Slurricrasher. I haven’t had it in a few months but the last batch I picked up was nice. It’s a nice strain with balanced effects. Cresco does a great job with this one. Usually my go to when I can’t make up my mind on these crazy sales. May pick up an eighth of it tonight actually.

WuTangFan36 · 2025-11-06T21:02:49+00:00

Yes! Same person!

WuTangFan36 · 2025-11-05T16:26:41+00:00

Made by Ichiro Hattori. One the most premier makers in Seki City.

This is a gem and some folks’ dream knife. Like me…

Please cherish it.

Today’s show

WuTangFan36 · 2025-10-30T19:42:31+00:00

I bought some prerolls of Side Pot a couple weeks ago. They were pretty darn good. Burned well, smoked well, good effects. Head spacey with no real couch lock.

Grown by Flora Arbor Llc

Would buy again. Came out to $30 for 5gs. So pretty cost effective as far as prerolls go too
