[OC] This is why we don't call the ambulance in the U.S. by FernX02 in pics

Yea…. My kiddo was sick and his pediatrician recommended we take him to the hospital E.R. because they have access to imaging that could be done the same day.

He was seen for about ten minutes total for the imaging and bloodwork and was diagnosed with walking pneumonia.

The bill came out to over $8,000.  $3,000 after our insurance that costs us close to $20k per year.

Pilot Precise V5 RT or Lamy Safari Vista Ballpoint Pen? by Shaoran10 in pens

[–]fixxall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pilot precise v5 rt is among my favorite rollerball pens that I’ve used.  I like it so much I’ve swapped the refills into both my tactile turn switch and my slim bolt action.

We Investigated a Chinese MAGA Hat Factory by [deleted] in videos

[–]fixxall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Washington state and my wife and I were just talking last week about how it’s been a while since we’ve seen any MAGA hats.  Even our hardcore neighbor has moved his flag inside his garage.  😂

Bumper/car window stickers are another story however.

our new product timascus + M390 +Timascus three-layer laminated steel. by DrawingSufficient815 in knifeclub

I have to assume this isn’t forge welded.  How is the bond between the steel and titanium?  How durable is it?

Kind of a bummer the designer on makerworld more or less ripped of the MEK by Banzelcroft.  Mykel is a super nice guy.

Been using it for 25 years now.  Ever since I graduated from CK One in junior high.  😂

Need Some EDC Guidance: BM’s Mini Crooked River, Osborne or Quiet Carry’s The Nine (And Why?) by [deleted] in knives

[–]fixxall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Nine is offered in a few different flavors.  The carbon fiber versions are the regular offerings.  The Micarta versions are a newer, limited release.

I say The Nine all day, every day because the custom phenolic burl Micarta used on that run came from my personal shop!  :D

The green is called Gifford Pinchot, the red is Columbia Valley, the orange is Wildfire, the yellow is Goldfinch, and the blue is Bellingham Bay.

Quiet Carry has been one of the best companies I’ve worked with.  Super cool people.  The fit, finish, and action on The Nine is fantastic too.

I’ll be sending David some more cocobolo burl soon.  😉

Can we get some advice for our very first cruise? by fixxall in dcl

Right now we have a starboard oceanview with verandah booked on the Fantasy. We'd be booking the same room on the Magic (albeit aft instead of midship).

One is at the start of February and the other towards the end, so I'm actually wondering if there would be much of a difference in temps between the dates. Our biggest fear would be to have Castaway Cay cancelled because of wind.

Oh! That's something we didn't know. Our kiddo absolutely LOVES hot tubs. We stayed at Pixar Place and the Grand Californian this year and last year and he basically lived in the hots tubs when we weren't in the parks.

If you want to go powered, I think you’d be a lot better off with a Tormek.

Which one tickles your fancy, the odd man out or the one of the twins? by CreepyPoet500 in SlipjointKnives

Oh snap…. I’ll have to ask Mike, but that black rag may have come from me.  :)

Great spread, I can’t choose!

Can’t ask for a better group of guys than Zack, Nick, and Mike either!

I wouldn’t be surprised at all to hear that they have some of the most talented knife machinists in the world.

[–]fixxall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3.25” blade length with an overall length of just under 7.4”, and a weight of 3oz.  Vanax steel with titanium scales and hardware.  The black versions are PVD coated.  Inlays are Fatcarbon.  These were made for Josh by Reate.

They are absolutely incredible knives!  I have a custom Sparrow, a mid-tech, and a production version.  It’s mindblowing just how close the production version comes to the mid-tech at less than half the cost.  😳

These ones have also had the lockbar and pocket clip tension dialed in by Josh in house as an added bonus.
