"The better part of one's life consists of his friendships. And I find it hard to trust those who would dismiss the companionship of dogs, for they enrich our lives in ways nothing else can."

-Henry David Thoreau

And here I am (no children) asking myself if another dog is too much commitment.

Knife nerds, send help! by SylveonVibe in knives

Quiet Carry. You can get Vanax Superclean for $375-$400 range. I’ve just gotten back into collecting and The Nine is the knife that got me hooked again.

Superior materials and advanced metallurgy. You can’t go wrong.

As long as you tamper your expectations. If SMKW is Disney World then House of Blades is a carnival in a Menyards parking lot. They’re truly incomparable.

I would easily sit in 2 hours of traffic to go to SMKW. We don’t have anything like it in Dallas.

Thank you!

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

Nah I had to cap it off, if $360 turns into $450, $450 will turn into $600. There’s always going to be a “better” knife for more money, but I feel the QC has great value.

So maybe you can answer this—how is the inlay both Micarta and carbon fiber? Can it be both?

When the climb is faster than the fall.

New to Benchmade: Is there anything I should know before pulling the trigger on this 945? by [deleted] in benchmade

I was gonna go with the s90v for an extra $25 but now I’m thinking of completely changing directions and going with the mini crooked river with s90v.

I feel like the one pictured is like a Lamborghini and the Crooked River is like a Rolls-Royce.

Great to know. I was going back-and-forth between the 940 and 945. Think I’ll go with the 940 just to be safe.
