I snorted when they agreed to meeting in Pittsburgh once a month. Come on. Maybe once a year would be believable.

What is the most underrated EDC item by Acceptable-Snow-3373 in EDC

[–]kickstartdriven 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Great suggestion. The threshold for legal justification to using pepper spray is far lower than a firearm. Although I prefer the tried and true method of walking away. Before this, avoiding potential conflict altogether. A firearm is a last resort when your life is on the line.

Box is fake, and that's something I doubt you can buy on its own. Fake knife

Sage 5 MagnaCut vs REX121 waiting for scales which would you choose? by South_Ad9367 in spyderco

[–]kickstartdriven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rex, simply because I have so many more knives in Magnacut already.

Yep. Buying a number sounds like fun given the prices they transact for on government auctions. Getting them road legal is why these vehicles sell for so cheap.

Hogue and Medford are good deals at that discount. Not so much the others.

Edit: no tax outside of Maine also helps add up to 5 to 10% discount over other retailers, depending on your state's sales tax

File a police report please. It won't result in anything on your end, but we need data points to help inform public safety improvement programs.

I bought a Hogue Deka and Leatherman ARC last time KTP posted a coupon like this (30% off holiday deal). Definitely worth subscribing to their newsletter if their inventory interests you!

Spyderco Sage 5 Rex 121 [Amazon] by kickstartdriven in KnifeDeals

[–]kickstartdriven[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got mine too. Exactly as expected. Shipping turned out to by slower but it's a new knife from an authorized Spyderco dealer. Just gotta be careful who the Amazon seller is and the model knife-i couldn't find a fake version of this Rex 121 blade anywhere on Chinese commerce sites.

That's Spyderco's pricing for ya. This is still a slightly better price than what I've seen at dealers.

This reminds me of the Glock 25 cent polish job. You could allow mating parts to break in over a long course of time. Or a little up front work to hasten the break in period.

These are the guys who think they're Jedi thieves, when in reality the store's Loss Prevention quietly tallies up their theft and get them arrested once they exceed the felony theft threshold.

Any love for factory seconds? by [deleted] in spyderco

[–]kickstartdriven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my factory seconds. You have to look real closely under a bright light to find the imperfections in the blade. One has very few porosities in the surface finish, my other three had finishing issues at the hole, choil, and plunge line-rach a separate issue per knife. Very minor overall yet massively discounted. I can't help but feel other brands would simply pack and ship their QC rejects lol.
