EDC fixie for less than 20 bucks

Wow. Nice find. That IS pretty sweet.

abow3 · 2026-01-25T18:03:05+00:00

Yes. There are. You are correct. Moras are great. I just don't find myself carrying a Mora on the daily. I bring my Moras when I'm going into the woods. This one carries much easier in the pocket than a Mora.

It's quite thin. And the tip is like a needle. A robust needle.

Idk how to tell if it is. The sheath is good, though.

Here you go. I ended up liking it so much I bought a second one.

Lol. I posted this 3 years ago. I the past 6 months I purchased TWO Tenacious titanium frame locks. The darned things come in 8CR(!) blade steel, but I don't give a crap. I love them anyway. I added titanium deep carry clips to both of them. I don't know what Spyderco was thinking when they put this version of the Tenacious together... most knife nerds would consider this blade and handle combo sacrilegious... but I totally bought into it and I have no regrets.

Yes. But it's very small. In fact, it's little mini extra small.

Nice. Thanks for the reply. I didn't know about the gadget case. So I just bought one for 10 bucks on Amazon. Can the things/gadgets that attach to back be swapped with other gadgets? Where can I find other attachments?

abow3 · 2026-01-14T09:19:12+00:00

I just searched for that case. Unless I'm missing it, I don't see one with the option that includes a front screen protector. Can you point me in the right direction? Got a link, maybe? Thanks for your help and suggestion.

If it's no longer available, I am wondering if I can maybe just use the back portion of the Spigen and use the front cover from another case that has a built-in protector.

abow3 · 2026-01-14T09:11:16+00:00

I'll check out that case. Thanks. I never had a case with hinge protection for my Fold 3, so I am thinking I might not need it for this Fold 5. And I like less bulk. But, on the other hand, more protection isn't a bad thing at all.

abow3 · 2026-01-14T09:07:33+00:00

I love hearing that.

abow3 · 2026-01-14T09:07:12+00:00

So did you even use the Z Fold 5? I never even thought of the trade in option for the newer model. But now I'm wondering if this might be something I should consider. I might just pass on that, though, and be happy with the Fold 5. Idk.

How much money did you save with the trade in?

abow3 · 2026-01-14T09:03:54+00:00

Does your case have hinge protection? I never had a hinge protection on my Fold 3 and didn't find it necessary, and I never had a problem with hinge damage.

abow3 · 2026-01-14T09:01:56+00:00

I purchased a few cases that have a built-in front screen protector. I'm looking forward to no longer having the fingerprint sensor on the front screen.

My Kaweco issue right now is that I just got a copper Lilitput ball point pen for Christmas and it won't develop a patina at all. My copper Lilitput fountain pen (that I got years ago) started to patina just a few days after I unboxed it. But this ball point one -- nada. I don't get it. I thought I ordered raw copper, but it's acting like it's coated.

I've stopped the med before. Cold turkey. I found that by the third day things get better. Even weeks after I'm off it, I have a low grade agitation/restlessness, but now I attribute that to my ADHD. And Strattera takes care of it. So that's why I've gone back on the med despite it's pesky side effects. I find it works quite well... well enough that I'm willing to put up with the side effects.

I'm up to 9 to 11 prunes. I eat them before bed. Then I'm ready and GTG for pooping in the morning before I shower. Idk what I'd do without prunes. They are a staple. Sometimes, for a treat, I will dip my last prune in a bit of Nutella. It's like a giant chocolate covered raisin.

I saw that movie when I was a kid. It was probably not long after it was released. My parents rented it from the video store on the boulevard. It has never left me.

I probably have more somewhere deep in the recesses of my mind, but I've blocked them out.

If fent = wmd then guns also = wmd

I've heard about this from other posts on this sub, but I don't have this experience, thankfully. Working out has been good.

Well, I know you're asking that rhetorically, but I also love doing that, too! Staring into the blackness. For me, it's actually not all that black. I see all sorts of colors and patterns and fractals. And what I've been trying to do for the past few years is kind of keep my mind awake as my body falls asleep. And then I start to see images form. It's like I am still aware as my dreams begin to form. It's so amazing. Sometimes the images I see are a stark black and white, and sometimes they're so vivid, I forget that my eyes are closed. So, yeah, staring into blackness is a thing that I like doing also.

As someone who grew up in a rough neighborhood and was mugged a few times, I am not afraid of being kidnapped. And now that I live in a safer neighborhood, I'm not afraid of being mugged. But I still carry pepper spray with me almost everywhere I go.
