I’m a big fan of the Spyderco Dragonfly and there are a ton of options to pick from. It’s just a really solid and well executed small knife. You might also take a look at the Spyderco Jester. Unique blade design and just under 2” cutting edge with a 3 finger grip. Theknifejoker.com has them in 20cv for $59 right now.

Reading glasses, unfortunately

I don’t believe that arm is supposed to be bent. That might change the travel distance and engagement of the cylinder.

I haven’t been able to convince myself that I like front flippers, but I’m going to keep trying. I do have a PF though and it’s a great knife!

I’m not sure if I like the Kershaw more. Clearly I have to get one so I can find out.

Snatch is such a great movie. For me it’s too close to call between Snatch and O Brother, Where Art Thou?. It took me a long time to realize that John Turturro was even in the movie because his acting is so out of character and well performed.

As some have mentioned, OEM car parts, particularly anything electrical. It’s just not worth the money saved on cheaper aftermarket parts that may not work even though they are new. It often leads to unnecessary troubleshooting and sometimes even more parts, only to land right back where you started.
