@hippiechik I bought one from woot a long time ago and wasn't impressed. It felt really loose and didn't seem designed very well. The kershaws are much nicer, imo.
@Ophukk Dont know what SOG is explain if you can and the kershaw is hardly a peice of junk , i would consider it very functional and well made, never carried a pocket knife its perfect size and i use it at least once a day ..
Yes it is turd brown but it's actually a really nice knife, I think it was 24 last time. I got one and it really is perfect for an EDC. Super sharp and excellent quality. Light too compared to some other similar spec knives. Fwiw it's more of a bronze color in sunlight, and it has kind of a distressed finish...
Last time everyone said "It looks like a turd, why would I buy it". I said "It looks like a turd, why wouldn't I buy it". My kids call it my poo knife. It's a great knife, but still a piece of crap. I would buy one if I didn't get one last time.
Since I was a kid I've had a knife or multitool on me most of the time, but I never heard the term EDC until recently. Never worried about which direction the tip points or what ball bearings it uses (?). I feel like I'm missing out on something.
An old photo, has been updated, but the place holders didn't change. The phones are new a Moto X 2014 and a Nexus 6, field notes now lives in the field notes leather cover... and a small beard comb.
@Al_Coholic Find a shooting range that rents and try a ton till you find one you like, this is small, but its not pocket small. I have an LCP (.380) that fits well, it's more or less a copy of the KelTec .380, but I don't like pocket carry, I got a nice belt that I always wear and have zero problems with IWB. The belt makes all the difference in comfort and the pistol won't sag/droop due to weight, I even have colors that blend with my casual dress clothes for work. http://www.originalsoegear.com/collections/belts/products/edc-belt-without-velcro-lining-size-36-to-44
@Al_Coholic lol, I guess I didn't answer your question. I like the PM40 a lot, it's my go to carry, the extension magazine +1 round that came with it moves around too much when I shoot, it feels loose under my pinky. I use that 7 round mag for the spare and alway have the 6 round in the pistol. I have big hands and I can still grip it just fine. I think it's too big to be a pocket gun, you'd have a lot of trouble getting it out of your pocket in a stress situation unless you're keeping it in a really huge pocket.
@badmnky Ah yeah that's a good point. It looked smaller when I just looked at it, but looking at it compared to the phones and other stuff in the picture I can tell it wouldn't fit well in a pocket. That belt sounds like a nice idea too though. So many options...
@gabemyers That would be an awesome ability, in case it gets dropped in a river or lake. I can just picture it..... The Float Knife, never loose your blade again. It floats like doodie.
Is this where we can comment on the eurowhatsit pitch?
$40? For 3-5 items? Let's say 5 and be generous (though we should say 4 as an average). $8 per ITEM. Regular price is $49, which is almost $10 PER ITEM.
And those items?
That could mean anything from pitchers to pencils, from tumblers to toothpaste.
Pencils and toothpaste? TOOTHPASTE?? FUCKING TOOTHPASTE?
$8 for european toothpaste?? How do they make pencils in europe? Is it gold-plated? Because here in America if you buy a pencil for $8 it's a fucking overpriced pen.
Tumblers? Like a cup? Like a GLASS cup or what? Is it worth $8?
There are goddamn chocolate sprinkles in that example box. Who cares if they're dutch? They're chocolate sprinkles and if you care that much about them being dutch you can buy them at Bed Bath & Beyond.
Or you can get ONE item for $12. ONE. Is it gonna be the toothpaste? The mug? A bag of tea?
@JasonToon you're a funny dude, but that shit is obNOXiously overpriced.
@HELLOALICE Fuck yeah! I knew this objection would be lurking in the minds of Mehvotees (I've been in the bargain biz a while now) and now I get a chance to deal with it. But I don't wanna threadjack here, so I'll take my blather over to the thread that @ceagee mentioned. See you there, if you still find any of this interesting enough to bother with (I make no promises on that score).
Those Woot knives were the original Wrinkle(K205BXP), these are the Wrinkle II(K200BXP), smaller blade, better sized for EDC. The steel is very good, razor sharp out of the box, bearing system makes it nearly as fast and easy to deploy as an assisted; without the spring fail issues.
I'm in for 2, one to carry, and 1 to add to knife collection!
@subtlestang I really loved my wrinkle from woot.. So much that I reflex bought this last time, and was shocked when I opened it and it was tiny! I like the bigger sized one more.. Still, this was a really nice knife, just not the one I had hoped for..
I never understood why people carry so much stuff with them. I just carry my keyring, wallet, and phone with me every day. It makes for a boring picture:
I passed on this knife the last time around but my buddy purchased it. The handle does kind of look like a turd...but after handling the knife this thing is awesome. Don't pass up this bad boy.
We've taken to calling this the "Poop Knife." My darling man liked his so much he made me buy three more so he can give to he best friends as "thank you for coming" gifts.
Received mine today. It is VERY sharp right out of the box. It is a bit still. It will not open fully without a slick of the wrist. I assume it will loosen up. Feels nice in hand. Nice size. Thanks meh.

Also why a sales pitch in the post
Finally! I've been waiting for this site to sell knives.
Just what I always wanted, a knife that looks like a turd.
@zacatac indeed, it looks like something I might extrude from my butt.
@ekw please don't poop knives
@zacatac Excuse me, I cutleried one.
OH! a Knife... Meh a Knife... but that means SPEAKERDOCKS SOON!
@sohmageek www.knivesandspeakerdocks.com
@RifterNova Damn Straight!
i like knives but this is just plain ugly..
and the lanyard hole doesnt make it much better..
It's the Bob Garlic turdblade!
I blame @Starblind.
@KDemo It really is! They brought back the Turdblade! Great for cutting BUTTER and a PEANUT.
@Starblind - No butts about it.
I'm all set for little knives, meh. sell more kitchen stuff.
$4 less than last time. Ugly knife, but it feels nice in your hand.
I would consider purchasing this knife, but I'm pooped.
In for 3..great Christmas presents for my brothers. CRKT make really nice knives
@hippiechik I bought one from woot a long time ago and wasn't impressed. It felt really loose and didn't seem designed very well. The kershaws are much nicer, imo.
@SteveOOO Kershaw is cheap garbage, compared to SOG.
@Ophukk I'm not sure about their knives but I do have one of their tactical shovels.
@Ophukk Dont know what SOG is explain if you can and the kershaw is hardly a peice of junk , i would consider it very functional and well made, never carried a pocket knife its perfect size and i use it at least once a day ..

Eucopia sounds like a Fukubukuro, only good, available, and $40.
Meh.
I'm afraid this just isn't going to cut it.
@Fish_Kungfu Maybe if they slashed the price just a bit more.
@Fish_Kungfu I might take a stab at it.
@Fish_Kungfu Maybe if it were some soft stinky cheese, it would cut it. Watch out for the splatter.
Shanks for nothing! Good knife and good luck.
Last time everyone said "It looks like a turd, why would I buy it". I said "It looks like a turd, why wouldn't I buy it". My kids call it my poo knife. It's a great knife, but still a piece of crap. I would buy one if I didn't get one last time.

@awk Same here. But I doubt we're missing out on much. Meh.
Do not care if it looks like a turd. Do care that it is a flipper, tip down only and too small for my hand.
CRKT makes some good knives though if my issues are not your issues.
@ponagathos What does that mean, "tip down only"? I understand the other stuff, like turd, flipper, small...
@ponagathos Never mind - got it.
Here.
@JasonToon Are you sure this is your EDC and not just "shit I found in the drawer while writing this up"
@badmnky he got a heck of a discount on something at Office Depot and or Office Max.
@badmnky Maybe he's wearing cargo pants. Definitely not skinny jeans.
"For those times when I will strangle someone unless I can decompress with a carousel break."
TIL what I've been doing wrong.
An old photo, has been updated, but the place holders didn't change. The phones are new a Moto X 2014 and a Nexus 6, field notes now lives in the field notes leather cover... and a small beard comb.
now that I think about it, we've been here before, I believe @jont (or some other employee) was insulted that I would flaunt my costco membership.
@badmnky What's the handgun?
@Al_Coholic Kahr PM40
@badmnky Nice, how do you like it? I've been thinking about getting something small I can keep in a pocket but no idea what I really want yet.
@Al_Coholic Find a shooting range that rents and try a ton till you find one you like, this is small, but its not pocket small.

What is this, for cutting?
Does it float? #doodie
@gabemyers That would be an awesome ability, in case it gets dropped in a river or lake. I can just picture it..... The Float Knife, never loose your blade again. It floats like doodie.
@Kylethephotoguy @gabemyers
@Kylethephotoguy Doodies float? Hmm. Beware the sinker stinker, then.

@JasonToon you're a funny dude, but that shit is obNOXiously overpriced.
@HELLOALICE And god forbid they send 3 items, at regular price you're paying over $16 per item.
"But it's from EUUUURROOOPPEE"
no
@HELLOALICE There is a thread about his start up
@HELLOALICE Fuck yeah! I knew this objection would be lurking in the minds of Mehvotees (I've been in the bargain biz a while now) and now I get a chance to deal with it. But I don't wanna threadjack here, so I'll take my blather over to the thread that @ceagee mentioned. See you there, if you still find any of this interesting enough to bother with (I make no promises on that score).
Woot had the brown and red knife for sale about a year ago for $30. It's a decent knife for that price, but for $20, it's a pretty good deal.
Those Woot knives were the original Wrinkle(K205BXP), these are the Wrinkle II(K200BXP), smaller blade, better sized for EDC. The steel is very good, razor sharp out of the box, bearing system makes it nearly as fast and easy to deploy as an assisted; without the spring fail issues.

@subtlestang Willing to part with one of those?
@caffeineguy sorry, I bought several more at different times/sources, and gifted them to various family members. Only have 1 left.
I never understood why people carry so much stuff with them. I just carry my keyring, wallet, and phone with me every day. It makes for a boring picture:
http://imgur.com/oiIZdRM
After watching this you tube video i had to have one dont need it just have to have it ty MEH awesome deal
Brown Zune
@rileyper I have one of those! Woot had them on sale for something insanely cheap like $80 back when that site was still cool.
@danoinct I got mine from a boc way back as well.
I passed on this knife the last time around but my buddy purchased it. The handle does kind of look like a turd...but after handling the knife this thing is awesome. Don't pass up this bad boy.
@xcusemeflo A turd.....ha ha ha
We've taken to calling this the "Poop Knife." My darling man liked his so much he made me buy three more so he can give to he best friends as "thank you for coming" gifts.
OMG can it be. A knife that didn't sell out. What has the world come to.
Just received this blade WOW its super fast to open all quality awesome ty Meh
Received mine today. It is VERY sharp right out of the box. It is a bit still. It will not open fully without a slick of the wrist. I assume it will loosen up. Feels nice in hand. Nice size. Thanks meh.
