    Ordered a new knife...

    I have not gotten a new high quality knife for a while, so I ordered this one today with some left over hotel points from when I was traveling a lot:

    When I was digging around preparing to post this thread, I noticed it is the exact same knife Kusa bought a couple years ago. I hope this doesn't me make into Kusa... (or Tourist for that matter.)

    I kinda blinked at the price... until I saw this one of theirs -

    https://www.knifecenter.com/item/MT1...rbon-fiber-top

    What is so special about that ^^ one that would make it 3x the cost of yours? The one you picked is really sweet.. and it seems those both work the same way so I'm guessing the internals are the same?

    Nice blade, but as said, in this blue state they are forbidden.

    I carried a 6" double edge dagger under my Kevlar while on duty, there is a police exception.

    Still have several "banned" knives, I can't carry them anymore, legally that is.

    Makes no sense, I can carry a pistol or a subgun under my coat without a problem, but limited on knives.

    The blade is Damascus steel. That is why it is so ridiculously expensive.

    Even what they want for the one I ordered is too much for what I am will to give out of pocket. But traveling every week for work for over 25 years, I built up a LOT of hotel points, car rental points, credit card points, etc. I can transfer those into AmEx/Visa gift cards to spend on frivolous crap like this. That is also how I paid for most of my wood shop, although the wood shop is not frivolous...

    Ah..right! Great use for those points!

    On a side note - I found my brand of smokes online for about a third of the price, thought Alright!!... went through the signup to order, got to the payment page and only bitcoin was accepted. Was like WTF?? Thought of you, and backed out slowly.

    (Hope your cyber money is doing okay!)
