>>12889116
lol. i suppose from that angle it kind of does look like it, huh? i bought it at a gem show from a chick who told me it was opal stone and deer bone, tied together with deer sinew. recently upon closer inspection i discovered an air bubble in the blade, which has led me to conclude that she was a fucking liar and it's just glass. whatever, though. i still dig it.


ALSO. did anyone else here read the OP as "ONE: WHAT ARE YOU READING TO YOUR KNIFE?" i can't help but imagine everyone sitting down with these books they're posting, and reading them out loud to their knives.

>>12889217
That is actually an dope combo.

>>12889232

>>12889231
You must treat your knife as you would your child, for it will treat you in kind, and your enemies in opposite.

dope if it is an opal stone though, still cool as glass for looks.

>>12889251
honestly, i could see it selling to some extent, as long as it's done right. i'm getting to the age where some of my friends are having kids, and some of them would totally buy goofy shit like that. children's books would overall be an interesting market to get into. making weird kids books for millennial parents could very well be a goldmine. imagine "art-hoes" in the next five years, as single moms buying weird kid's books, more so just to post about it on social media than read it to their kid. sounds grim, so hopefully, maybe they'll value both equally. kind of rambled there, but yeah, it's interesting to think about.

I'm a Serb and I don't understand the responses to this, is it not a normal thing for every person to have like three knives? My father used to joke that the Sign of the Serbs stood for the three knives everyone carries. One open, one in the coat, and one taped to the leg.

I know the British are like afraid of knives or something, but I assume Americans all do this as well. Maybe Americans have guns instead?

Why would you tape one to your leg? That sounds really uncomfortable.

>>12889450
I think most normal places have at least one or two knives and a rifle. Some people are scared shitless of knives and guns though, I think it’s kinda like being scared of dogs although bully dogs are shit and should be euthanised imo

I'm proud of /lit/ desu I expected a lot more people having panic attacks like the time that guy posted his shelf with a shitty marlin .30-30 in front of it

In the US it used to be a given that men had a pocket knife on them, the grocery stores even sold them and the hardware stores would have a diamond stone sitting on the counter so you could touch up your knife when you came in for a pound of nails. The last of the local neighborhood hardware stores here still keeps a stone and a bottle of oil on the counter, I stop by and grab something or other and give my knife a sharpen for old times sake when ever I find myself in that part of town. Those days are largely gone and it seems most do not carry any sort of knife these days, many that do seem to do it as a fashion statement more than utility. I have carried a pocket knife every day since I was 7 when I got my first knife, a victorinox, I feel naked without a knife in my pocket.

I know people who keep switchblades in their boots but i just carry one in my breast pocket

>>12889351
The Victroinox mentioned is a good knife, the two blade one is fantastic, the small blade is a respectable whittler/chip carver, long blade serves well for general purpose utility and the handle is comfortable enough that you can while away some time whittling without your hands aching. The models with a couple extra things stuck between the blades are a little more comfortable for extended use, the extra thickness is nice, but those extra things are largely useless.

The pic related Brown Mule will probably remain my favorite pocket knife, the handle is just so comfortable. Think they are all stainless these days, but the old high carbon blades are not hard to find used for not much. They hold a great and long lasting edge.

A lot of Americans on the coasts are afraid of being hurt and hurting others. Maybe it never occurred to them they might need to defend themselves or their loved ones, or to open a box. At any rate, to answer your question, even Americans are surprised at Americans sometimes.

>>12891901
knives are not really ideal for self defense. primarily for legal reasons. if you beat a man over the head with an improvised impact weapon, you're in better legal standing than if you took out your fucking Kukris you carry everywhere with you like a psychopath and hacked his arm off. There are other concerns, such as stopping power and intimidation, but I feel when it comes to self defense a knife is a liability.

>>12891039
They are good and cheap knives but they really are just a folding kitchen knife, best picnic knife ever. Their high carbon blades are fantastic and hold an edge better than most.

>>12891085
Just decide on the function you want the knife to serve and that will dictate the blade style, then go find one that you can comfortably hold with a few different grips.

>>12891901
About 3 times the thickness of a CC, yes it fits in a wallet. My buddy accidentally brought his on a plane too and didn't get caught. Here in Canada self defense laws are shit and there aren't any black people so I prob will never use it for self defense, I've used it camping for a utensil though.

Most of the knives posted ITT are probably not primarily for self defense. I'm >>12892059 but despite giving that guy shit I wouldn't walk around with my fucking kabar. I have a skinner, a mora and a buck knife I would all choose as a peace-of-mind weapon over what I posted ITT and stabbing someone still isn't their purpose. Some people use pocket knives as can openers, pry-bars, wedges, screwdrivers...

>>12892040
I've only had it for a few months but I have sharpened it several times on a whetstone. The petina is due to it being high carbon steel, which will take a sharper and more durable edge than stainless but rust amazingly fast in humid conditions. Once the petina has formed, the steel becomes much more resistant to rusting.

-Completion of the Conics by Alhacen
-Theory of Games and Economic Behavior by Von Neumann and Morgenstern
-The Almagest by Ptolemy
-Democracy In America by Tocqueville
-Prior Analytics by Aristotle

So. Fucking. Dry. But very rewarding once I’ve completed it. Theory of Games has already impressed me with how well it was thought out and developed.

don't bother replying to me kthnx

>>12893338
There is always something better, but who cares.

The Buck is a good solid lockback, general purpose utility sort, it is made for doing those odd cuts one happens upon and the handle is decent enough for even extended use, but a tad thin. Great size, carried one for years. Just make sure to clean the area where the blade locks into the back, lint will collect here and keep it from locking, if you let it build up too much it will get pulled in and compacted, can be very very difficult to get it out at that point short of pulling it apart.

lmao

>>12893398
a box cutter is good for much much much more than cutting just boxes
they are called Stanley knives or safety blades outside of America
again, it is dead obvious you have never worked a day in your life
do not bother replying to me again kthnx

>>12893387
Thanks for the input, I'll keep that in mind

>>12888549
I'm not actually reading any of it right now though desu

>>12893408
I literally package high end chandeliers that require a carboard matrix to hold them in place during shipment to other continents. Box cutters are dogshit. They cut cardboard and tape, for about a week. Please, extoll me with their multitude of uses :)
>also called stanley knives!
>y-you don't work!
lmao

>>12893433
>boxcutters (also called stanley knives!)are actually very versatile and totally not 1 cent brittle pieces of shit!

>>12893417
that don quixote is in pain

>>12893467
It survived homelessness with me. Maybe it shouldn't have.

>>12893473
where and how long were you homeless?

>>12893433
you know it takes 5 seconds to replace a blade, yes?
I use them every day to prepare fibre optic cables
also in the 1st world it is against work health and safety regulations to use actual knives be it fixed blade or flips or whatever in the workplace. even for some projects electricians cannot even use Stanley knives on site.
again please don't bother replying to me kthnx

>>12893478
Oh all over. Lived out of a hotel for 2 months, in European hostels for 3 months, at a friend of a friend's in Seattle for 4 months, in a shelter and on the streets in Seattle for 8 months, in another shelter in Hawaii for 10 months. So a little over two years altogether I guess.

>>12893492
sounds more like travelling than homelessness

Wow dude I'm so impressed your job buys you 1 cent piece of shit knifes fit for minor plastic scraping or slicing paper, you're so cool. You're totally not trying way to hard. I'm cringing pretty hard at the reality of what you're suggesting, that you're some knifelet libshit cuck terrified of owning a knife and with nothing to contribute to the thread you're going to defend your bullshit econo-work-"blade" for 50 posts if that's what it takes, despite bragging about what a hard working tool using man you are. Holy fuck is this a disgusting suspicion. I hope that I'm wrong, but we both know you're not posting your book and knife :)
I assume you actually work recieving at wal-mart for the record.

>>12888948

lmao at this point you are pretty much defintively retarded, mere lying is off the table. Post knife and book or forever be a retarded lying faggot.

also to the edgy box packing minimum wage worker, I have no problem with people owning big knives
I own my own other than a Stanley but this is irrelevant as I don't use them for work as they are not permitted on work sites in the 1st world
I was calling out your bullshit that box cutters are useless and your autistic rant about how everything should be an effective self defense weapon
literally autistic
go back to pol stupid nigger
and no I'm not posting shit because im at work so again don't bother replying kthnx

btw i hold several high risk licenses so suck my dick poofta faggot relying on a knife to defend yourself ibstead of your own physical ability
if you can't disarm an attacker you are not a man you are a weak ass onions boy cuck that pulls a gun out because some old man cut in line at the cinema

I can't imagine the hell it must be to wake up every day and be british like this. What a pathetic little slave you are. I own 5 rifles, two shotguns, two handguns and two slingshots and you can't do anything about it nigel. Now shut the fuck up before I send your post to the local MP's emergency response chat.

I've been reading them both at the same time it's quite the trip.

Oh sorry I'm not pretentious enough to not read fiction.

>>12893789
reading that bottom of the barrel scifi is like masturbating to furry inflantion gay porn
have some self respect dude

>make one post with a knife an old friend gave to me

>the whole thread degenerates into chaos

What is wrong with you guys :3

>>12893803
I knew you were too much of a gay boi to have that much use on that boxcutter and I gave you the benefit of the doubt, didn't even say anything about it, and yet you had to go and abolish that glimmer of hope that you weren't pathetic

>>12893800
No masturbating to furry inflantion gay porn is masturbating to furry inflantion gay porn.

This is just reading fiction man. Just because it isn't a classic or whatever doesn't mean it's not worth reading. Though I have bought other fiction books I did come to regret. I'm looking at you Indra Das!

>>12893816
You must be a newfag. Get ready fornthe cleansing fire. Better start brushing up on your vonnegut and stanislaw lem if you want to make it around here kiddo, we don't take kindly to genre redditors round these parts.

>>12893824
Oh I know and I honestly don't care anymore. All I see is the same old stuff every thread it's like you guys don't like fun.

>>12893831
>I've never read a book that isn't dogshit and therefore they are all stuffy nonsense about victorian tea parties
Congratulations, you're a 15 year old girl. Wait until you find out what gravity's rainbow is "about".

>>12893812
Oh no I used that box cutter a lot for work man. And I use it for my day job right now.

>>12893837
So are you going to lighten up? I mean there's only so many times you can read the same book over and over again.

>>12893492
I'm interested, any advice in general?

>>12893843
You still haven't read it though, and you don't know how to use 4chan so you genuinely think that we only talk about 4 books even though any random thread has people recommending any random book. Today I defended soseki against being humorless and recommended calvino's trilogy to someone, yet you're still reading bullshit genre fiction for teenagers and think that because pynchon is "a meme" you can just ignore him entirely and call the whole board boring. You're a retard, a newfag, a redditor, and need to grow up.

>>12893433
>I literally package high end chandeliers that require a carboard matrix to hold them in place during shipment to other continents
Dude nice job sounds like.

>>12893876
Look Nigel I sympathize with you but its not excuse to go on this dozen post bitching rant about how no one should own anything. Do you need me to marry you so you can escape your shitty island? I'll consider it.

Oi do you have a license for these knives

>>12894488
yes

>>12894341
The first and third are standard liner locks, their handles allow a very strong grip which is good for hacking through thick rope or the like, but they only really allow for gripping tightly in your fist, give no real control for fine work or options for alternate grips. The second is new to me, the strong taper to the butt will not permit using a strong grip for any amount of time, but I can see it being a useful and comfortable for many other thing and just fine for the occasional bit of heavy work. It looks like it is inspired by the Laguiole knife, could be their attempt at making a harder working version of their old standard.

>>12893883
>this total sperg

>>12894496
Interesting stuff, thanks. I'm really drawn to old school smaller folding pocket knives like the Buck 55 and Brown Mule, but am open to more modern interpretations.

>>12894550
Unfortunately modern folders are largely form over function, just think of holding any of the previous three upside down, blade down pinky side with cutting edge towards you, a grip that is very useful if you need to slice something tough like leather, it would be very uncomfortable, especially the first, the second would not be bad, but it would be hard to get a good grip on that skinny end where your hand is the strongest. A more regularly shaped handle like the 55 or Brown Mule will be just fine for a good while and will likely get you through that one leather working project that does not justify buying specialty tools.

Frankly, everyone should have a Brown Mule and a Opinel, at $10 or so, depending on size, they are just too cheap and useful to not have. They will find use even if they do not live in your pocket.
