Was looking into EDC utility knife. I was looking into Gil-Tek RUK Aluminum & Kershaw Launch 4. They both have pros and cons. (of course) If you guys have any recommendation, I would like to hear it.

That RUK is interesting looking, but I don't see how it's any better than a regular cheap utility knife.

I currently have a kershaw cryo as a regular beater. Assisted opening for easy one hand use, deep pocket clip (reversible for tip up or tip down), and an overtravel stop on the lockbar. Pretty cheap steel, but easy to sharpen and gets the job done. Had it for 5+ years so I think it was worth the $50.

I've had a kershaw leek, spyderco tenacious, SOG flash II all as cheapish every day knives. None of those are a bad choice imo.

Autos aren't legal here so I don't really have any experience there.

Man I used to be so into knives. I actually made several fixed blades years ago... still have the 2x72 belt grinder collecting dust at my parents place haha. I only have a couple nice folders left. Sypderco Southard flipper and an aluminum Lionsteel SR-1. The rest are ESEE fixed blades that I take camping and hiking.

Yeah true. I prefer actual knife, but these utility knife is handy. (going back to pros and cons) Auto is illegal in Canada? Huh didn't know that. In US, it's legal... of course vary with blade length in different states.

One is a knife,one is a glorified box cutter.

Pick the tool for the intended job.

A knife with a pointed blade is intended for stabbing. At 1.6 inches that knife would be great if you feared attack by a pack of wild squirrels.

Is that a stone chisel?!?

humfrz · 09-06-2018, 09:01 PM

Well, another day of no school due to a teachers strike.

So, pa-pa and ma-ma's summer day care gets extended.

The toddler tried to play the "baby card" on me today. She kept pushing on the TV screen trying to get it to change programs. I explained to her that the I-pad works that way, but the TV does not.

She kept pushing on the screen, so I scolded her saying, no, no, DO NOT do that! She replied "but pa-pa, I'm just a baby".

I told her that if she could put that sentence together - she was no longer a baby.

Maybe I'll take my FR-S for a drive, since it now runs much smoother since I put in that 1/2 quart of new oil -

(see if Ultra is still reading my posts -

)

Eventually they even discovered fire and could heat the stone up to crack it.

A guy I know asked me months ago if I would take his 14 yo son for a drive, since he is "into cars". 4 times now I have called him and invited the kid for a drive, and 4 times he is too busy. Oh well, I tried.

That very car but I believe Ultra is like 8 foot something.

He claims to be only 8 feet, but we both know it is closer to 9'.
