@yakkoTDI I got it from Morningsave. It’s a damned fine knife, if a bit small for my hands. I agree the sheath is pretty shitty, but it’s not hard to make a sheath of your own or find a toolsmith in town willing to do it. Highly recommend this knife if you’re looking for an edc boot/belt knife. Works fine for general utility tasks.
Thank god. I’ve been looking for another Bluetooth speakerknife
(I say this with love meh, keep doing what you’re doing…except for the Fuko. I’ll forever be salty)
@1Fatboy She looks like a killer to me. They all have smiles and then you end up dying at the check in counter at the airport. That has happened to me at least 8 times. Fortunately, they all missed. I’ve stopped flying commercial for now.
I mean sure, it’s good to know the origin, but I base many purchases on reviews from previous buyers, or research I’ve done on my own. I don’t know why people think “Made in China, so it’s a shitty knife.” Like Chinese people have never made knives before? I have owned a dumb number of pocket knives, boot knives, kitchen knives, shrimp knives, knife gumbo, knife etouffee, etc. The ones that lasted have come from Germany, the US, and yes, China. My current EDC for the past 3 years was made in China.
@Zendriver China can make good products. They often don’t make good products unless the manufacturers (or the contracting manufacturers) sit on them and watch very carefully to make sure that pennies are not being shaved by substituting lower grade materials or reducing finishing steps or substituting less skilled workers when the buyers are not looking. Its epidemic there.
Very few products that have had manufacturing moved to China have seen quality increase; some have seen equivalent quality for a while followed by decreases as the above pennyshaving occurs, and many see an immediate decrease (Swing-Away, Vise-Grip, Craftsman hand tools, etc).
Knowing a product is made in China means that a higher level of scrutiny into quality of material, manufacture, and finish is appropriate (or a significantly lower price if the above are clearly not met).
Notice how few people showed up when not a fukuboro for sale and diehards like me still do though we weren’t able to snag one ??
Wonder what stats are of vmp members here every night not just for fukoboro nights??

@awk I see! So you use the eneloops to power the heater and the blender to make Gummi Bear fricassee. Then when the batteries inevitably give out, you use the knives on the remainder of the Gummi Bears. It takes a long time to eviscerate 9 pounds of Gummi Bears.
@jqubed its just a knife… I can’t imagine why you’d need to REGISTER one in the US. If you have particularly insane/draconian laws/local ordinances they might have a blade length limit on carrying it.
@lowlypeon@jqubed yes to dagger or at least “double edged and pointed” which is the same category, yes illegal to (concealed) carry in some states, no to registration. At least, I’ve never heard of knife registration.
When your in your tent in the woods chillin like a villin that’s illin ,and you hear a brown bear just outside your tent, you pull this shit out quickly and i do mean quickly carve your arm off and throw it to him drop the knife and run like a race car…I’ll be back at 8am to grab one.
Hey! I misread the poll and clicked the wrong button! I have never written an Amazon review and likely won’t. I am not addicted to Amazon review writing, nor am I likely to write a review unless something is truly misrepresented, like all the counterfeit stuff. Amazon is my last choice to buy from, local sourcing and hands on at point of sale comes first. Though I am a sucker for mediocrity. meh
@JoseBandito I did around 2 months ago and I received a Gillette razor in the mail. Not sure if they are linked. Although if anyone wants to send me good stuff for free with coupons, I’ll take it. I use Dorco razors and they are great. And if you can get a Dorco razor and 2 refills for $2.99 shipped, I say go for it. They have the Pace 7 (7 blades) for that price right now but you are limited to 1. I use them as stocking stuffers and everyone love them. Go to Dorcousa.com and use the code Lovedp7 to get it down to $2.99. I think it’s a great deal. Just thought I would pass it along to the great people on the board.
BTW, please stop taking all the Fuko. I didn’t really care for the stuff but I have a friend that LOVES PURPLE. I was on time to get one, all three times and got shut out. I was even driving 70 mph at 4pm and was on it at exactly 4pm and missed it Ugggg. If anyone has a tip for me, I would really appreciate it. I’ve been a VMP for a really long time and only got one. The purple bag was the thing for me.
FYI, carrying a dagger-style knife on your person outside of your private residence or vehicle (or walking in between) is a Class A misdemeanor in Texas.
I’m not saying that’s right (or wrong), just I’ve had clients get a night in jail and an unfortunate illegal carrying conviction for this. The more you know…
John Connor: Wait a minute here. You’re telling me that this thing can imitate anything it touches? The Terminator: Anything it samples by physical contact. John Connor: Get real, like it could disguise itself as a pack of cigarettes? The Terminator: No, only an object of equal size. John Connor: Then why doesn’t it become a bomb or a machine gun or something to get me? The Terminator: The T-1000 can’t form complex machines. Guns and explosives have chemicals in them. Moving parts. It doesn’t work that way, but it can form solid metal shapes. John Connor: Like what? The Terminator: Knives and stabbing weapons.
I mentioned this in a reply, but I have found this to be a great resource to see if knives are legal to carry in your state or states you might visit. State laws are quoted and discussed. The length of this knife alone is enough to disqualify it in some states, the fact that it’s two-edged in others.

Oops, didn’t realize this was a dagger with two sharpened edges. On the other hand, the edges out of the box were so dull I could probably pass it off as a letter opener.
@Nexar My son was putting mine back in the sheath and did the exact same thing. Not really an issue I guess, but an obvious design flaw to have a hump inside the sheath where it could catch

Knifing thru thus deal … meh is the new blade runner ER seller
Full tang.
@mhuyck The good stuff. Half-tang just isn’t quite as satisfying.
@mhuyck That’s what she said.
Still no ink. Probably in the Fuku that I didn’t get.
Looks like a nice knife. Shame about that shit sheath. Much as I want a fixed blade stabber I am out.

Odd - I wore cowboy boots for the first time in my life tonight. I might have to order one just for that reason.
Kinky
@haydesigner Not without the knife.
Damn, you lost me when you said fixed blade… Looks like a nice knife, need it to be a folder.
I don’t plan on stabbing anyone again so I’ll pass.
@rearly WTF! You can plan stabbings? I thought you just got lucky when someone ran into your blade repeatedly.
Thank god. I’ve been looking for another Bluetooth speakerknife

“Rotating knives, yes.
“Are you proposing to slaughter our tenants?”

@AttyVette was there a warning about the last FUKU? I had no idea it was coming.
@datruandi no, but as the time since the last one increases, we get more and more antsy about missing one until it pops and the cycle repeats
@datruandi I knew it was close to occurring because they did one last year for Valentine’s Day…
If I knew this was balanced for throwing, I’d grab a couple, but without that knowledge, Meh.
@ellett Per the amazonians, the blade is too brittle to throw.
@RedOx Yeah, if it were usable as a throwing knife I figure they would have proudly proclaimed that.
My order page looks like this:
hmm
@awk Nice! Ninja dream realized!

Deal is slashed up, meh.
Is this a dagger? Are daggers still a thing? Do they get registered like guns?
@jqubed its just a knife… I can’t imagine why you’d need to REGISTER one in the US. If you have particularly insane/draconian laws/local ordinances they might have a blade length limit on carrying it.
@jqubed illegal to carry in some states, hard to register something without a serial, I’d imagine.
@lowlypeon @jqubed yes to dagger or at least “double edged and pointed” which is the same category, yes illegal to (concealed) carry in some states, no to registration. At least, I’ve never heard of knife registration.
@jqubed Your handy guide to knife laws in the US by state.
I really like this knife and I want to own one, but $20 is slightly more than I am willing to pay for a knife I don’t really NEED.
@Willijs3 how do you KNOW you dont NEED it?
I just requested another knife about a week ago and boom, here it is.
Make for a good Walker knocker… should that zombie day Rise Up

@mellowirishgent Then discover that the bear is a vegetarian…
Bluetooth 5, or does this have Bluetooth 4.2?
i don’t get the point
Whew!
That’s the first knife, well, since the last one.
I was getting worried for a minute there.
I’ve been unable to make my last 4 purchases so the “morning crowd” can get a shot. There was a time when you were cool meh. There was a time…
@jacobbartley You can always try again at 8am eastern time.
@jacobbartley you should cut Meh out of your li… oh wait you can’t
I’m glad it’s a fixed blade. Now I won’t have to worry about that full tang or having to pay child support
@triplebud ok, this is twisted humor but I can completely understand it. I guess, I’m as sick as you are. :-0 Well understanding at least.

@propaghandi might be time to take matters into your own hand.
One has to wonder why there are not many good pictures of this knife? Not my video but some good quality views of the knife and sheath:
@1Fatboy Thanks. I couldn’t tell for CERTAIN that it was double-edged or not. Vid helps.

“CRKT Synergist Knife Designed” by MJ Lerch.
Best new rap album? I think I saw them perform at the Grammys?
Oops, didn’t realize this was a dagger with two sharpened edges. On the other hand, the edges out of the box were so dull I could probably pass it off as a letter opener.
@awk funny, I had the opposite issue.
@Nexar My son was putting mine back in the sheath and did the exact same thing. Not really an issue I guess, but an obvious design flaw to have a hump inside the sheath where it could catch
that little tassel didn’t make product photos.
have mixed feelings about it, as in don’t really wanna remove it but it interferes with handling it
The handle is way too small to be comfortable for my hands. Glad I controlled myself and only bought one.
was goofing around and dropped it on a wooden floor, that broke the tip
@username I think they’re under warranty – they’re cheap knives, but I would at least attempt to get it replaced
I wish I would have bought more. I hope they come up again.
