^Do those altadena works split rings come with the leather they picture?

Yes, the leather tassel is included. I attached it to my head porter backpack as a zipper pull

[stuntastic]

Possibly a dumb question, but:

Does CountyComm do Black Friday sales?

I got a relatively big order to make and wouldn't mind waiting a while if I could (possibly) save sone cash.

Just ate most of this:

Since it's not working: Mountain House Mexican Rice w/ Chicken.

Actually not too bad, was relatively flavorful and lived up to what it's supposed to be. I know the mindset of most folks are worrying about the texture of these sort of things. Aside from the rice feeling like overcooked rice - the beans were bean-y and the chicken was like leftover Taco Bell chicken. Not too shabby. I'd definitely stick with going the rice route, rather than the pasta/noodle route.

I plan on getting some MREs, per suggestion of my barber.

Not dumb at all, I too would like to know this. Been eyeing the peanut lighters and maybe an embassy pen.

Doubt it.

Corter has a few items on huckberry, just in case you need a replacement card case, I lost the one I was given... ba-ramp

So I just found out that I can get 50% off any Spyderco product. Even though I frequent this thread I usually skip over the talk about knives because I have a few/wasn't planning on getting another any time soon.

So now I am interested and were wondering what would be a good non-serated Spyderco. Since my budget is around 100 the normal price would be around 200 +/-

Any suggestions?

Edit: It could even be 2 knives, one for around 75 and the other for around 20 (Normal price 150 and 40)

I suggest you offer to proxy for the rest of us and we'll tell you what badass knife you should get.

It is a limit of 5 per year otherwise I would :/

[f50fan]

I'd say go for one of the more unique models. PPT, Zulu, Lum-Chinese, Chokwe, Yojimbo, etc. Or maybe the new Spyderco Junior? If I could justify it I'd definitely pick up the Junior.

Also found out I have the same discount on Kershaw as well if they have some nice ones you would recommend as well.

[Lozinski]

^for Kershaw, does it include zero tolerance?

The paramilitary is by far your best bet. It might be too big for you tho. Let us know what size you prefer

Don't think this has been posted. Ted Bundy EDC.

Does anyone know where I can find a bunch of anodized black hardware for keys?

I'm thinking about running one of these

http://www.amazon.com/Rothco-Heavy-Carabiner-Strap-Keyring/dp/B004BUDOLW/ref=lh_ni_t

but I want to use black split-keyrings/hardware/clips with it..

[Solix]

Black hardware is tough to come by. Black split rings aren't to hard to find though, neither are carabiners. shouldn't be too hard to replicate what you just posted.

[crucialkc]

looking for a screwdriver of sorts for my keyring. I found these pretty quick but didn't know if EDC crew was aware of superior quality/design elsewhere..

[musicisdead]

Found out my 40% off discount on Spyderco comes out to be the same price as it is on Amazon Prime -_________-

Probably just going to end up getting a Manix 2 for me and my pops.

[musicisdead]

Also, for no apparent reason my NiteCore D11 Cree XP-G R5 stopped working 2 months after I bought it. I posted up about this a while back. The button on the end of it that you press to turn it on won't go in at all.

I looked inside of it and everything looks normal. You guys suggested just trying to take it apart since it is a piston but I can't get it to move whatsoever. Tried using a screwdriver, tried everything but for some reason it is just stuck...

Pretty annoyed since I only used it a few times, never dropped it, it was just sitting on my desk when all of a sudden the button won't move now.

[f50fan]

The piston is stuck inside the body? Well, if you ever get it unstuck, make sure to lube it up.

And about those keychain screwdrivers: I've seen both and apparently both suck. If you really need a keychain driver, go for a mini multitool like Leatherman's Squirt line. You only gain a little size and little weight but gain much more useful bit sizes plus a bunch of other tools.

The other day I was in the elevator with a dude and he goes "How do you like that Al Mar Payara?" I was pocket carrying it, and only about a quarter of an inch was visible. How did the guy know? Any of you guys this nerdy? I was seriously impressed. He whipped out his custom. Hope I run into him again so we can talk knives...

[Lozinski]

Yeah... I've done it a few times. The paraya has a distinct end which kind of gives it away.

What was the custom??

I just got an email regarding my ZT0550 pre-order but I'm no longer interested in one.

If any of you would like to take my spot, I can forward you the email with the payment options.

I will cancel it tomorrow night so let me know by then.

Thaaaanks

It isn't stuck inside the body as much as it just won't push in...it just won't move. It is in the normal position, just fixed..and I have no idea why or how

[JackCrank]

Is there a clicky conversion for my quark minix123. This POS keeps unscrewing or turning on and burning out batts in my pocket. Tis annoying.

unfortunately not. Only the preons have a clicky tailcap(conversion) that you can buy as a spare part/accessory, but I heard even those aren't very good

[f50fan]

Just treat yourself to a Quark 123 Tactical for Christmas. Such a great light.
