But it’s pointless to ask. Still Japan. Actually Japanese were most despicable 50 years after world war 2.

Most blatant Walter Mitty/Mallninja fantasy post I’ve yet seen the naming of the knife brand revealing the ‘gear’ fetish gave it away. Also Diego, myself and I’m sure plenty of other dopers hsve commuted in Manila without need of a knife to try to intimidate a woman. I’d call you a coward, but I know your story is bogus. ---

In the liberal environment of the dope, a guess is as good as basic data. I named the weapon for the benefit of the other knife buffs here. 😉 As to your basic argument, a one-time junket to Manila does not tell a regular commuter’s life. I think I’d rather be a coward than a liar. ---

> [@Battle\_Pope](#): > > Awww… you own a Spyderco…that’s so _cute_! Yeah, it’s definitely the Mall Ninja brand of choice. Laughably overhyped. And shitty steel, in my experience, but I suppose it gets the job done…if the job in question is giving wannabes erections. ---

But most people say spyderco’s are flimsy, holey, and untacticlol. MN’s prefer tanto points with lots of serrations, and maybe a third edge for better fluid outflow during “de-animation.” Spydeys are a nerd’s choice. Just don’t message Sal Glesser about that, OK?
