This is an interesting multi-tool made by a well regarded production knifemaker called Ruike. I really like the blade on this one, and it has more tools. $65 USD.
Currently my main squeeze right here. I have to type and uplaod more, but Iâm tired from photos and posts. These are at least 40 years old and cut damn good. I can cut easily left or righthanded which I cannot do with some scissors. I need to say more about these and edged tool skills and performance.
Dull and rusty. No pride of ownership or self respect.
Are you talking about your yoga pants? How many do you wear at one time?
About the clippersâŚthey can take more gasoline and oil that way and tend to get very hot. Canât spell the word trust without the word rust.
Maybe I should buy a new pair these actually swivel.

Why would you take pride in something you donât feel you actually âownâ or even âuseâ.?
Here read this well and understand.
Matthew 6:19-24 King James Version (KJV)
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

thats a weird but interesting view and justification for owning any expensive gadget or weapon
As if it needed justification.
of course, everything you buy needs your justification
unless you have unlimited amounts of money to spend and dont need to concern yourself whether it could be spend on something more usefulâŚ
your second sentence belies the first.
not really, the amount of money you have can be your justification
negating the need for your first sentence and thus negating the need for your post at all. lol
lol perhaps, but i enjoy hearing about the different justifications and especially why people make them
What if they just want that particular something?
To whom are they justifying? To themselves?
another interesting angle, plenty options available
could be themselves, their family, their friends, their gods
Rich territory indeed.
yes lol the human mind is very interesting
I suppose justifying to yourself is the same as rationalizing.
yup
You must have a different sense of âpride in ownershipâ. Back to actual real edge use and experience I didnât even sharpen those and I was able to accomplish quite a bit in very short time as in a few minutes. Some peope do the same beating out power mowers you drive with scythes in fields for time competition.
I actually did this in less time than one of the landscaping crew next door for the same area and he had an gas powered weedeater/acker. I would have loved to use any of the weedeaters/wackers we have even if it was the old one but I hate the fact that both are corded and I donât want to deal with heavy orange power cords and setting them up. Also electric usage is being monitored.
Itâs good to have electric, gas, and manual tools when gas or noise mught be the issue as well as well as electrical consumption.
This was quite fast, dangerous and more tiring than usual as I spent about 40 minutes working with a 5 piece grip training set in front of the computer last night. After while my muscles and sinews and phalanges just got so natural with the tool they were naturally flicking and quickly and powerfully snipping whatever green or yellow or even red stem that caught my eye. I did wear leather gloves, and I always make that a habit now even if they arenât specifically for gardenign or yardwork.
