Let's Talk Knives

I better start advertising a kidney for sale…

 

How did your dad’s hunt go?

 

You'll be alright.

 

Last day of deer season he managed to pop a small buck in the back yard last week. He said this year was really odd all around - between weather, animals not being in areas they usually are, cows grunting at him like a rutting bull would, getting chased down by a moose…

I need to ask him about the knife.

 

Says a man that’s already traded one in for a Ray special!?

 

Testicle next.

 

I got three! (Dad and brother each got one).

 

What do those go for?
Trying to decide if I still need my spleen…

 

I decided long ago I could do without my spleen, lol! Ruptured along with my lung and liver in a little motorcycle fiasco. I have to say, go for it!

 

Phuk…that’s accepted currency here?! I’ve got a set ready to go!

 

“Little”!?!?!?!?!?

 

1 knife by Ray hopefully. Spleen, I'd keep that.

 

I’m kind of concerned what Ray might be doing with someone else’s testicle in exchange for a knife…

 

Rocky Mountain oyster? Feed that little peanut to the dogs

 

Need the stones to pay for the knife. Need the knife to harvest the stones.

 

Any of you guys smoke pipes?My stepdad gave me this on the trip to Washington and I need some various tobacco samples to see what I might like

 

I haven’t in over 25 years. I would go into specialty cigar/pipe shops (not the Indian reservation smoke shop with a two-lane line for the drive thru) and some of the better ones would let you sample there in the shop. But, like I said, that was 25+ years ago…

 

All the smoke shops around here are for pot or vaping

 

Once the knife is in hand, I don't ask questions.

 

Yes, that is the unfortunate situation nowadays.
You would probably do best to seek out a good cigar shop. Seems those were the places that also catered to the meerschaum pipe crowds over the glass pipe crowds.

 

I found some good sampler deals on line but they require divulging lots of personal data to ’prove’ you are not a minor.

 

Might have to venture closer to the PDX - looks like a decent number in city or down around the outskirts.

 

Venturing closer to PDX is like sitting down next to a pox ridden, toothless, bridge dwelling, dope dealing, sewer crawling, lover of gang bangers!

 

Didn't know forum had a knife thread. I got way too many. My two current faves.

 

Please provide more details! Is that a spiderco along side that benchmade?

 

Spyderco Shaman in cts-xhp steel
Benchmade bugout with carbon fiber aftermarket

The shaman is heavy and tough while the bugout is light in pocket you forget it's there.

 

I like both! I frequently carry a spyderco but have found the blade on it to be a little bit fragile.

 

not this spyderco. If you want beefy knife the shaman is right for you.
you can see the blade thickness better in this pic i just took. One thing sypderco does that is common is they put big finger choil's that make the knife easier to control. It eats up into the blade length though but comes in handy in most situations.

 

That benchmade is my current favorite
