Absolutely love these knives. I carry the mossy oak stonewashed version every day and it makes a great little combo with my stream light micro stream and .38 special. I use it to death and the more you see how this steps in to do everything, it makes the weight of another “primary” knife just not worth it for me. Great, durable knives.

Hi Duane, i do choose free shipping over others, becuase the price is see is what i pay rather than getting excited thats its say $5 then its really £8 once the shippings added, but i know its already added. I think free shipping defo helps you sell, and do select the filter for "free shipping"

Ive been an arborist for 5 years. One day this next door neighbor of the customer we were doing some work for came out with one glass of iced sweet tea. Not two or three for my crew, ONE. And I saw his arm extended with that tannin stained liquid before his door was even shut. I was being targeted. The crew stopped and watched as I kindly refused and tried to distance myself from the situation. Everyone that day said I should've asked for his number.

I always sort by lowest price + shipping when I am buying on Ebay. When I sell I do charge shipping, there is a reason for it... I think if you get a return because the buyer doesn't like the item (not because of your fault) and have free shipping you end up paying for shipping both ways, but if you don't have free shipping they still have to pay the original shipping cost to them. I also typically just let Ebay set the calculated shipping rate without checking that the box size matches what Ebay suggests which usually works out slightly in my favor... and if the item doesn't sell I just reduce the price a little/accept offers. But I agree that buyers psychologically prefer seeing free shipping.

Okay my dude This is what I think. the setting of a desk job in a house office could symbolize your work life and personal space merging together. The impending explosion represents a significant change or upheaval in your life that you may be anticipating or feeling anxious about. The fact that you and your co-workers were aware of the explosion and in a safe place beforehand suggests that you may have a sense of forewarning about a potential crisis or major event in your waking life. Surviving the explosion unharmed can indicate resilience, adaptability, and a sense of relief after facing a potentially dangerous situation. It may reflect your ability to navigate challenges and come out stronger on the other side. The feeling of dodging death could represent a fear of mortality or a close call in your waking life where you narrowly escaped a negative outcome. Overall, this dream may be highlighting your concerns about change, uncertainty, and survival instincts. Is there a current situation in your life that feels volatile or unstable? Do you feel prepared to face potential challenges or do you fear the unknown? If you'd like to share more details or explore this dream further, feel free to elaborate on any specific emotions or details that stood out to you.

Are you open to carrying handguns as well? Perhaps snub nose revolvers or small semi autos with a flashlight extending past the slide so you will not press the gun out of battery when pressed against your target.

I've considered a handgun. I can legally carry in Washington state, and I've always said, "Handguns are the great equalizer." The problem is, whether it's on my right hip or in a shoulder holster, I can only draw it with my right hand. If the dog grabs my right arm, I won't be able to draw the gun.

I've considered a handgun. I can legally carry in Washington state, and I've always said, "Handguns are the great equalizer." The problem is, whether it's on my right hip or in a shoulder holster, I can only draw it with my right hand. If the dog grabs my right arm, I won't be able to draw the gun.
If I were to carry a neck knife here and someone's dog would come at me, I would get arrested if I'd use the neck knife to defend myself. It would be illegal to carry a neck knife and I would have to pay compensation for to the owner for hurting or killing his dog. Crazy world we live in 😢. God bless you for still having at least the right to defend yourself! 🙏
Hey Johan, I will never understand why governments pass laws to keep people from defending themselves. That makes no sense. You're right, I'm blessed to live in a country that allows self defense weapons and actions. Be careful out there, my friend.
Glad you are safe , thanks for sharing YAH bless !
Thanks Michael! Blessings to you and your family.
I've watched shows in which people go hiking in the woods and encounter a bear. If I ever find myself in bear country, my bear survival pack will include -large self inflatable novelty holiday decoration -vuvuzela -can of hairspray and a lighter -recording of nancy grace reporting on anything that makes her mad, hardwired with a single switch to- -strobe light that I will mount on a helmet so I can turn it on at the first sign of a bear, allowing time for the novelty oversized gumby to inflate
Hello my friend. Thanks for the tips. I know the hairspray flame-thrower trick, but I never thought of using it against a bear. I've never heard of using a strobe light to scare off bears, but that might work. I'm not sure if you are joking about the oversized Gumby! 😁😆
@@XDM50 I am joking. But probably would be equally prepared if the opportunity presented itself. I told a Canadian the same thing, "but you live in Australia?!" They replied.. True, but I can outrun most of the dangers here.

My favorite EDC related saying is: "It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it." I'm glad nothing happened but definitely keep that knife on you for now on! Also since some WalMarts allow boondocking consider avoiding that area of their parking lot. You never know what those hooligans (and their dogs) are up to. My WalMart abolished overnight camping some time ago and it looks much nicer not having trashy old Winnebagos parked about.
Hey Andrew, I've heard that our Walmart no long allows "overnight camping" but it's more of a don't-ask-don't-tell situation now. Your advice to avoid that area is spot-on. I will do that. Thanks!
Our crisis with the homeless has become a terrible thing. God bless all of them, even the smallest towns have a lot of people looking for help.
Yeah, it is sad. The problem just seems to be getting worse every year.
Another thing you can add for durability and safety, dollar type stores have this rollup, sheet flexible cutting boards which you can trim to size and line the knife sheath.
That's a great tip! Thanks!
I am glad you keep upgrading and Not crashing !! 5 months wait? IS NOT a Reputable Company!! In Holland, they had Tulip mania. The U.S. have "Socket" Mania" WT FRAK ? - Very Positive estate sale stories.
I see stories all the time of people crashing on these scooters. All I can say is, I have never crashed, because I'm not an idiot!
Great to see you.
Good to see you, too, brother!
