Cats, I'd be in the doghouse with my two if I said otherwise…

[riffblaster general]

i like cats but i'm a dog person all the way.

[riffblaster general]

did i see somewhere that there was going to be a heavy flannel version of the IHW01 or am i completely making that up?

[Blackheart]

I love dogs too, I'm split down the middle on this topic.

any new yorkers here? if i were to travel to ny during the xmas period, will the shops/major attractions be open? will it be way too crowded in the city?

[babyknight]

i live in NYC.  everything is open all the time, no worries on that front.  it will be crowded with tourists but the city is always crowded one way or another.  i think Christmas would be a fun time to be here as a tourist.

I'm looking for a pretty Damascus Steel Folder knife. Any suggestions? Looks-wise, I love this thing:

(obviously not a folder, and that is why I'm not getting it):

Also considering something like this:

Experiences? suggestions?

My daily "tool"-knife is something as simple as a skeletool.

Yeah: don't get a Böker… Shit quality, and NO customer service (literally: non existant)...

Think I read somewhere that in order to get 300 pairs of 666xhs (I think it was those) the factory had to make 370 pairs, just wondered what happens to the rejected ones?

[Giles]

You read correctly.  I have not asked the question.

[D97x7]

OK, thanks.

Damascus is nice, but pricey, and the extra money you pay is disproportionate to the improvement in performance

knifecenter.com has a huge selection of knives, you should be able to find some damascus folders in there

I tried contacting them several times and ways to get my knives fixed as they were both less than one (1!) year old when the springs broke… No answer whatsoever, so got my Sebenza (which I love so fucking much), and gave away both my Bökers...

[orlylow]

Thanks! I'm just.. I just like the look of it, especially when it is worn/used for a long, long time.
