  1. A quotation from Molly Ivins

       I am not anti-gun. I’m pro-knife. Consider the merits of the knife.
       In the first place, you have to catch up with someone in order to stab him. A general substitution of knives for guns would promote physical fitness. We’d turn into a whole nation of great runners. Plus, knives don’t ricochet. And people are seldom killed while cleaning their knives.

    Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
    Essay (1993-03-09), “Get a Knife, Get a Dog, but Get Rid of Guns,” Creators Syndicate column, Fort Worth Star-Telegram

  4. New knife day! #Kershaw Method. 8Cr13MoV steel. Not an assisted flipper but has nice detent and satisfying lock. !VERY! light - 0.142lb (64.4g). Sharp as a bastard. Zero jimping. Flipper tab is a little on the short stubby side but I honestly don’t mind. #nkd #knife #knives #pocketknife #pocketknives #flickknife #flickknives #edc #everydaycarry

  5. Big fan of the Ganzo Prosharp. It’s the only device I’ve found that has been able to properly sharpen my beloved #Kershaw Link. Have used it on several knives here (used a diff ceramic polisher and leather finishing strop) and it’s done a superb job. Cheap as heck too. 💯 recommended.

  6. New #Ganzo #knife sharpening paddle arrived late last week. Looking forward to trying (again) to sharpen my well-worn Kershaw Link later tonight - which has so far resisted all attempts at being sharpened despite four different systems being used. If all else fails, #Kershaw have a free lifetime sharpening service if you ship the knife back to their HQ in Oregon.

  7. It's #Majestic #Manderville time, part six!! For the very last time since these came out in 6.45!

    The last set of four #relic weapons for my non-favorite and I-don't-really-play-them-that-often jobs have been acquired: #Gunbreaker, #Ninja, #Astrologian, and #Scholar.

    The gunbreaker's #bayonet is intense and looks like something straight out of science fiction. (Which makes sense, considering the theoretical origin of these weapons.)

    The ninja's #knives are so colorful and elegant! I once knew someone who said that glowing knives were strange for ninjas to carry since they weren't very stealthy. That still makes me laugh sometimes. And I still love the glowy knives best of all.

    The astrologian's #orrery is pretty. It almost looks angelic as it glows above your hand.

    The scholar's #codex is a book. The seraph is my favorite part of scholar, but it's a job I literally never play. 😅​

    And now we wait until 6.55 for the final Manderville weapon step!

  8. The life of a #ninja is dangerous indeed!

    The #Manderville #relic #weapon for the ninja is an impressive piece of work: two #knives, designed for maximum gut-spilling, adored with hot pink magical glows and ribbons. It's bright, it's impressive, and it's definitely not going to let you sneak up to your enemy.

    But that's OK. In the social media age, being a ninja is less about sneaking and more about bursting into a scene and spilling blood this way and that with your giant frogs and powerful gusts of wind.

    I don't make the rules.

    Also important, to make your enemies pee their pants, always sniff your #blade threateningly in front of them.

    My knives smell like raspberry. I may be a murder hobo sometimes, but I'm a classy murder hobo! 💙 🗡️
