twistedmentat posted:Yea I used to carry a swiss army knife on my keys until i had to throw it away because they wouldn't let me on a plane with it (but they let me on during the flight coming). I haven't bothered since then because i don't see the point. Everywhere I've worked have had a screwdriver set or box cutters and that's all I'd need. These guys look like they're the character at the start of a fallout game. What are they expecting to happen when they're recovering upper managements passwords? Based on their EDCs, it looks like they expect to be put in some kind of Die Hard situation where they'd have to stop a team of freelance all star terrorists. Like everything in life, never go full retard.

Perestroika posted:Seriously, those knives are the dumbest loving thing. Having like a leatherman or swiss army knife or something else utility-based is one thing, but most of these are designed specifically for combat. Well, as much as you can design something for "combat" when it's got like a 2" blade. What is even the point of that? You're already carrying a handgun, which tends to be more or less the most effective weapon you can get. What possible circumstance are you expecting where your gun doesn't do the trick but your lovely little tryhard knife makes the difference? I wouldn't say they are designed for combat as much as designed to look tactiLOL. Same goes for the pens, its targeting the folks that daydream about being John Wick or something. chitoryu12 posted:I've never smoked, so I can't say for sure if it's true or the placebo effect. I hate the smell and taste of cigarette smoke so I avoid it. You can taste the lighter fluid when you first light it but after it burns away you can't taste it anymore. Same goes for the phosphorus in matches. Honestly the cleanest burning is butane like a Bic which produces very little flavor. I smoke cigarettes and don't really care for cigars FWIW.

evobatman posted:I don't know guns, knives or lockpicks, but I do know watches. In 99% of EDC pictures, the black tactical rugged watch is some $24.99 piece of poo poo from a mall or mail order catalog. you wouldn't want to wear your $10k time piece, do you know how hard it is to wash the blood out of those intricate gears after you take your battle axe to someone asking you what time it is?

James Woods posted:Come to think of it I'm going to crosspost my question from the BUDK thread in GBS since it seems on topic. So uh...which job requires the switch blades? I mean I carry a spring assisted Kershaw all the time but only one and I don't look like a '70s pimp when I pull it out.
