Photos Latest Purchases Thread: v2.0

Awesome thanks, good to know. Just wanted a fairly decent one with not too many buttons and I like my Roccat keyboard so thought it worth a shot.

My current Mionix has been quite good but I can sometimes unintentionally hit the buttons on the right handside.

Plus there's been a couple of times when the pc has booted the mouse hasn't been found until replugging, not sure if that was a W10 or a mouse thing.

Anyway, I had vouchers and they are like free money

Straps.



Corona care package for brother and sister in law.

 

Just had to buy this, to protect what little is left of my fence from the boy-child and his football

Looks like you bought the last one...

 

Damn you HH, damn you to hell n back

 

Who/what is HH...??

 

Hairy Hands.

 

I had a Smith And Wesson Special Ops once that you could shave with lol. I bet it would be quite illegal to have it here in the UK though. Shame, beautiful knife.

 

It was like this.



Just with a different name. 3.28" apparently. Well, the blade. I looked about the other night and they're not expensive, but I couldn't find any in the UK.

 

I never understood knife laws. They seem very strict but I've violated, unknowingly, most of them.

Hell, I used to have a 'zombie' locking knife in a regular carry bag when I was a teenager. Pretty sure I still have it. I miss both of my straight blade locking knives. They were very nice.

My 'car knife' is a Gerber warrant knife.

 

What I used to love about it was the bolt. It meant one handed opening was very easy. Great when you are holding an electric fence wire you need to strip in the other hand lol. But yeah, back then in my farm days I didn't leave home without it. Things were very different in rural NJ. I got a Gerber too. Still got it, but it's very blunt now.

 

One of my locking knives had a little thumb tab. Super useful. The 'zombie' knife has a massive hole. It's not as convenient as a sticking out thing but it is just as convenient.

I just don't get how the laws can be so strict but buying knives is.. well, it's so easy. I bought a 12" "combat" knife once. By way of my father. In that I said I wanted 'that one' and he paid. Couldn't have been older than 14. No one batted an eyelid.

Even younger than that I bought a bayonet on my own. Only eight or nine inches long but plenty stabby.

 

It was awesome for stripping wire too. In fact, it was just awesome for everything. I think I will go browse Amazon now

I used to own one of these - the green handled one. Definitely on the illegal list, these days.
Amazing what you could buy in outdoor/camping shops, in the 80's

 

I carry a very nice 12" custom knife everywhere in my yard. Assumptive of a good sheath for it, I could legally carry it or my newest acquisition, a legit Indian trade knife on my hip and nobody would bat an eye.

But I live in the woods, and use them every single day. I couldn't get by without a knife like that.

 

I picked up a new one of these a few weeks back.

J-P Peltonen M95 Ranger Knife. I still have my one from my service, but wanted a new one as my current one is a bit haggard after 14 years of heavy use on the farm and through work. Still in brilliant knick, just no teflon on the blade any more I was looking for an excuse! Also, I haven't seen these available to buy for about a decade, so I had to when I found that site.

 

That's a nice knife, but I hate plastic handles. They feel dead to me.

 

I only buy good kitchen knives. I used to own a really nice all-metal following knife when I was a teenager. Got it as a gift from one of my father's friends. Never needed a knife to carry daily.
