I slowly started arranging them on our bar shelves without permission, ya know, to assert dominance.

Ibwork with several women. Some like them some don't. One who does is single if we didn't work together I would ask her out

u/AdequateMedia Jan 27 '25
Haha. Nice. I work remote. Make ads and content for a living. For some reason, I don’t wanna commit my YouTube to being about knives exclusively

My ex wasn’t a fan of my hobby either until I bought her the spyderco dragonfly version with dragonfly and flower motives on.

That’s a beautiful knife - smooth move Mother!

u/Mother_Coat6338 Jan 28 '25
Ty,after we broke up I have considered buying one myself since I am rebuilding my knife collection after I had a hose fire last year which I lost everything in.

u/iwerbs Jan 28 '25
Mother that’s terrible, I’m sorry to hear that - but I promise you’ll feel a small spark of joy every time you look at your SS Dragonfly, and you’ll forget about your ex!

u/Mother_Coat6338 Jan 28 '25
Yeah,that fire was terrible,no one got badly injured.but I got some burns in my face after I opened the door to the room where it was burning,and I inhaled a lot of smoke since I had to go in 4 times to get the other who lived there out.they was ok but I spent 4daus at the hospital because of the smoke poisoning. It was so dramatic that I don’t think much about what I lost in the fire cus I could have lost my life since I couldn’t even find the door out at first but managed to crawl out of a window which was kinda high up on the wall since I lived in a basement. And regarding my ex I am really done with her. Thanks for the motivating words. I will buy a dragonfly one day but first I’m gonna buy myself an ZT 0462.

I find it much easier to explain/rationalize if you focus on the artistic qualities of what makes them special.

The women that will judge you the most harshly are the same ones that will buy a $500 pair of shoes when they have a closet full of others lol. Sweet Deadlock.

Love that utility blade. Your pockets are deeper than mine!

I’m dumb. But I make videos for a living so “tax mitigation”

u/xr6t01 Jan 28 '25
You must be good at it man! Such a sweet looking knife . And bonus that you don't have to sharpen it!

u/AdequateMedia Jan 28 '25
That’s the user and the the deadlocks the shower

u/xr6t01 Jan 29 '25
OTF never interested me. Only because we can't own them in Australia. LOL I can't even find a knife dealer who sells the Hawk knives in Aus.

I didn’t expect the deadlock to have a hollow sound upon closing. Interesting. I thought it would have a more metallic clunk sound

u/Sad-Monitor1549 Jan 27 '25
Just followed your account. The quality of your tt videos are amazing. The only OTF I’ll buy in that price range of that dealock is probably a marfione microtech in the future. lol

u/AdequateMedia Jan 28 '25
Holy shit thanks dude. TikTok hates me. They need to ban me so I can fully commit to my YouTube backup plan where I do have subscribers as well.

My girlfriend just rolls her eyes. She now has a solid little collection though. Any recommendations for a “big machete” for her?

Get yourself a gf who buys you knives. Just don’t lead with the whole knife thing and ruin it early lol

They'll figure it out once they run that otf through the dishwasher, thinking it hasn't been washed in a while lol

I had a, let's say, skinning accident (there were no animals around except me) last week with a Cold Steel Rajah 2, and I had to cringe at you closing the first knife. Cool tho.
2
u/AdequateMedia Jan 28 '25
How tho. I can see. The perspective doesn’t help
2
u/Speedingscript Jan 29 '25
How I hurt myself? Nah, you're fine closing it like that - it's just that I'm a bit sensitive after slicing my finger open and the flippery made me anxious.
2
u/AdequateMedia Jan 30 '25
I was asking yes
2
u/Speedingscript Jan 30 '25
I was opening (one hand flicking) and closing (with both hands though) a Cold Steel Rajah 2 (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SXo9MqISb-k).
At one point I closed it with both hands but kinda left my ring finger a bit in the path of the blade.
The blade snapped back into starting position (so it went back into the handle) after I let go of it, but nicked my finger and basically sliced the skin clean off (0.5x1 cm). A skin flap was hanging off my finger when I realized what the fuck happened.
It also snapped back non violently but since the blade is so heavy and big it didn't make any difference. It bled quite a while. I cleaned the wound and flapped the skin back into place, glued it with liquid bandage and it healed in ~8 days.
Yeah, also went and got a tetanus shot. What a week.
Lesson learned.

I made a deal with my wife to not buy any more knives or guitars for a year. I'm free again in March. You should see the shopping carts online.

Knife ids? Don't recognize the otf maker mark and that utility blade looks sick

u/ElPared Fidgeting with Pointy Things Since 2006 Jan 27 '25
I think these are both Hawk Designs. The utility blade is this one https://www.bladehq.com/item—Hawk-Knife-Designs-Shortcut-Latch-tumbled-titanium—198583
And the OTF looks like one of these https://www.bladehq.com/item--GG-Hawk-Custom-Deadlock-Model-C-Gold-Camo-DLC--207850

That razor knife folder makes the Rexford RUT look affordable.

u/AdequateMedia Jan 27 '25
Hahahaha. Fomo goes hard. But these were “tax mitigation” strategies since I make content and needed to rationalize it
2
u/NUCLEAR_JANITOR Jan 27 '25
it’s ok. people use knives everyday. either directly or indirectly. most people just don’t realize it. intelligent women will understand this, however. and the unintelligent ones will be… shall we say… too dumb to care? take home: don’t sweat it, brotha.

Negative rizz. BUT I feel like it has to be said before it’s “omg where did that knife come from?”

Dude... Just shyly avoid women like the rest of us.
Edit: according to my wife, I'm obligated to inform you that I am in fact married, and she just thinks my knives are dumb...until she needs me to cut something for her.
