New toy
It’s kinda got that crudeness you expect of old Italian stuff, but it’s a stout and sturdy knife with some serious heft. I always liked the Kris pattern blade, and while this one isn’t sharp- yet- it will be, and then I’ll be tickled to carry it.
I have always loved the Inspector Morse series, and the Lewis that came after them, and the Endeavor that came before. Tonight’s Endeavor included a good deal of great music, including “Un Bel Di” which is a favorite.
In “Silence of the Lambs” Hannibal carves up couple cops in Memphis while calmly listening to the Goldberg Variations. I have decided that if I ever lose my shit, I want “Flower Duet” to be the soundtrack.
My former manager nearly lost her mind when I took the mini-multi-tool out of the change pocket on my jeans to use the blade (all 1.75″ of it) to cut something. She told me to leave it home, we have a “no weapons policy”.
Good thing I didn’t tell her about the Kershaw Storm in my right pocket. Or the full-sized multi-tool in my backpack. Or the other full-sized multi-tool in my desk drawer. Or the claw hammer in my bug-out bag under my desk (added after reading about people escaping the World Trade Center after breaking thru a wall with window-cleaning tools to escape the fire).
Not sure I want to contemplate a sound track to going off the rails. People tell me I am close to that now so any detail left undone to slow me down is a good thing…I guess.
I think I’m sane, but what does that prove.
Good looking shiv by the way.
Careful, Og. Music might be instrumental in your downfall – not to mention noteworthy.
;-)
I treble at the thought of Og (or any of the rest of us) going off the rails.
Nice bit of blade work there too!
Mark, I cary both a “leatherman” on one hip, and a box cutter on the other, at work. Heaven forbid someone would ever udder the foolishness your co-worker did, around our place, they would be, at the very least, laughed at to their face.
probably best to leave a small unsharpened area on the off side so you can push it back into the frame without cutting yourself.
Nice…
I buy a year’s supply of golf ball tokens when I get my new job only to learn that golf clubs are banned from the plant since they are a deadly weapon. Never mind the utility knives we all carry, solid breaker bars in 55 gallon drums always within anyone’s reach, lifting chains and cables, safety islands with red painted tools that could double as a medieval Viking’s basic issue. Stop that maniac with the five iron in the trunk!
