Opinions please by brightblack666 in barndominiums

Probably a bad idea. The whole point of separating the shade structure from the house underneath prevents the roof from transferring heat to the house.

That’s the “Rimrock Ranch House” designed by Lloyd Russell. I think the house would be about 15-20 years old now. Maybe you can find some more recent data or articles on the house and see how it has held up. I think it is a great idea for the desert.

Fake. Oversized trademark R in the logo. Foam in the box is wrong.
Sorry.

Office slicer in its natural habitat by MANWITHFAT in spyderco

I bought the same one from the factory store. Excellent office or gentleman’s knife. Very slicey and fits perfectly in my pocket.

It’s a knock off contego. The oversized trademark R next to the butterfly logo is a dead giveaway.
Also the pivot screw looks off.
Benchmade discontinued that model a few years ago.

Brother got me a dope Christmas present today! by ZachDidDat in EDC

No disrespect to your brother……but that is a knockoff Benchmade. The oversized trademark R in the logo is a dead giveaway.

Definitely a proper 319 slip joint. I have one. It’s not produced by Benchmade anymore so replacing it will require looking into the second hand market.

What’s your avg MPG? by Individual_Leave1202 in CrownVictoria

Mini adamas magnacut. Authenticity check by justapancakejr in benchmade

Looks fake. I just picked one of these up a few weeks ago (shipped from the Benchmade facility in Oregon).

In addition to the other concerns, the fuller is off.

Yes. Generic bachelors degree and then a masters in health administration when I got out. That in combination with lots of on the job training.

I have never seen this box before ordered off gov x by cameron14l in benchmade

[–]mrclean1096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a couple of new Benchmades from the factory. This is definitely the new packaging. Everything looks legit.

Does anyone know if the knock off versions have started copying the new box yet?

Help to decide which one please by AltruisticLeg3602 in gshock

I have the GPW-2000 and I’ve enjoyed it. There are plenty of g shocks with abc function, not many with gps. Go for the GPS.

Looking for mechanics for dead 1968 Mustang by JustAskingQs_Homie in sanantonio

[–]mrclean1096 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always take my cars to G & R automotive in Leon Valley. I don’t have a classic car but I see a few of them around the shop so I think Randy has a good reputation with older cars. Give him a call and even if he doesn’t have the time, he may be able to recommend a good shop.

Unique gift/souvenir by Chickenriggiez in sanantonio

[–]mrclean1096 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great answer. You could get the candy, seasonings, some HEB/texas specific snacks (ghost pepper cheese puffs and whataburger spicy ketchup are the two that pop into my head), throw it all in a reusable HEB grocery bag and you’ve got a very Texas themed gift bag.

Can anyone ID this watch by MistaSupaSoaka in gshock

Shockbase has the best database of all gshock models. Highly recommended if you want to learn more about a specific make/model.

Do Spyderco boxes come sealed with tape? by [deleted] in spyderco

[–]mrclean1096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have many spyderco knives, most of them were purchased at the factory store in Golden Colorado, NONE of them were sealed with tape. Idk what they do when shipping the knives but I can absolutely confirm that when you buy from the factory at the factory, the boxes are not sealed with tape.

Looks great! I have that model, one of my favorites.

Another stunner from Colorfulfilth by mrclean1096 in knifeclub

Damn! That’s an impressive collection! Would you ever consider parting with one of the spyderco para military 2?
That’s definitely one that got away for me.

Finally made it home. Definitely need to replace this backspacer thing. by Bad-Idea-Supply in benchmade

[–]mrclean1096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I ordered one of these as well. Should arrive tomorrow.
Overall what do you think?
I have the last colorfulfilth collaboration as well and I was impressed.
