      Actually, a Good Samaritan law does not require you to act in an emergency situation.  Instead, it shields you from civil liability in a lawsuit brought by the injured party.  This type of law is designed to encourage people to render assistance without fear of being sued for any harm that may arise from their aid.  It is not an affirmative duty to render assistance.  If I remember correctly, there are only two states in the US that do have a legal requirement to do so- Minnesota and one of the New England states, Vermont or New Hampshire, perhaps.  Since you live in New York, (you are in NY, right?) that doesn't apply.

      Of course, having said that, you may feel a moral obligation to help victims of an accident, which is entirely commendable. 🙂

        Ok, so I recently saw a pic of a Curtiss Nano (posted by anaesthetist I think), and whilst I'd really like one, I was wondering how similar the Boker Nano is? I know the designer of both is the same, but the Boker is at a nice entry-level price point, plus I'm saving my pennies for a Mnandi 😉

        Any thoughts?

            The Mnandi is a bit further in the future, so this would satisfy my 'new knife' craving…

                The Spyderco Dragonfly is a good choice in that size/price range

                I have the G10 version which is more expensive but is fantastic

                  The scales on my Wilkins-gripped Griptilian have been wreaking havoc on my pocket lining, so I've switched to EDC my Dragonfly G10 and I quite like small-bladed knives for a change. I actually just ordered the Böker Nano thanks to the pics of the Curtiss that were posted here :).  I doubt it will live up to the quality of the Dragonfly which really is an amazing knife, but then again it's half the price..

                  AIAN HA-TO!

                        Guy said 350 quid (£)… That's 402 €... I can get a new one for 350 € in the States... But this one is NIB, plus I wouldn't have to proxy it, worry about customs (UK => Belgium), and the postage cost 'd be very low… So I asked him if 325 £ was ok... No answer yet...

                        Fingers crossed  :-\

                            I'll probably be getting a delica in super blue when it drops. I like carbon steels, even though they require more maintenance

                                Passing on Caly3… Clip not adjustable, and the super blue steel needs too much maintenance... Focusing on the Ti-Lock instead...  ::)

                                    It's left hand/ right hand carry for the Caly 3, not sure what you're talking about, unless you want tip down carry

                                        Tip down carry… I know it's l/r handed... So Ti-Lock is only ambidextrous?..

                                            Seul - If you're not 100% set on a tip-down carry, then maybe I can help convice you on the SuperBlue Caly 3. I have two and they're great. SuperBlue doesn't need that much maintenance. It is surprisingly pretty rust proof. A lot of people let it patina naturally, or patina it by sticking it in an apple, or white vinegar for a few minutes. The patina itself will help resist rust. I have also read that people wipe it with Marine Tuf-Cloth and put Tuf-Glide around the pivot to give it extra protection either after letting it patina, or not allowing it to patina that much at all.

                                            Even if you won't EDC it, it is still a wonderful knife to have in your collection. SuperBlue is too damn cool, especially if you let it patina naturally. I'm actually still debating on whether or not to EDC one of mine. I currently rock a CF Caly 3 in the ZDP189/420J2 and it's suiting all of my needs. Only thing that is keeping me from not using the SuperBlue is the scales. The G-10 is pretty rough and I feel like it'll tear my jeans apart overtime. The CF just glides in my pocket.

                                            Hope that helps a little bit because you NEED that SuperBlue 🙂
