@w2tpmf The translation is atrocious for sure. At least it explains the company they claim it comes from. I have heard this site recommended on r/EDC before as legitimate, but it looks like there are sounder options out there, so look there instead!
I'll edit my post
@otter @jtk I was so ready to boo in the theater when Disney's logo showed up in the intro sequence but thankfully, they had the brains to hide their presence
@edc btw, I realize this post might have a little advertising smell. but yeah obviously to be clear that's not the case. I just know it's a knife a lot of people appreciate, and would also be annoyed if people bought a Japanese knife made in China by companies that don't even have the right to use the name
@brb @MrJameGumb [3/3] Lastly, about knives...
I don't suggest the use of a knife for self defense. The winner of a knife fight is the one that bleeds out in the ambulance, and most people aren't trained in how to avoid that. Most of the weapon-y looking pocketknives people post are strictly there as tools!
If we're being honest, they're mostly for opening boxes, letters, cutting fruit, little mundane things. The swiss army knife is the world's most popular style of pocketknife for a reason :)
@otter @phoneymouse Nah that's better, I have a handkerchief that's so thin I don't notice it, which is good, because if I notice something in my back pocket when sitting, then I consider it not ergonomic
@brb @MrJameGumb As someone who carries a swiss army knife and flashlight everywhere, I get the point of "carrying all that garbage". But I agree that minimalist wallets have gotten too popular these days and regular wallets that actually make using cash convenient are hard to find.
It seems like everyone pays with plastic nowadays - or their phone with some proprietary system developed by big tech. I can be lazy, but prefer to use cash
@pineapplelover Maxlvledc on YT has a couple videos on EDC pens including specifically affordable ones, you'll have plenty of ideas to choose from after watching that.
Edit: I didn't read your original post over on Lemmy, and see you're looking for more premium options. There's still some good premium options in his recent videos, but the comments here seem quite useful anyways
@MrJameGumb yeah exactly. I don't bug people about it, but on the internet it's always better safe than sorry :)
