Looks like there’s no way to include a thumbnail when posting from piefed.world. That’s a bummer.

Wow the one you’re retiring has seen some things for sure! Another great example of quality not needing to cost a lot.

…Which is detented with a tiny ball bearing that is just in there loose, completely unrestrained in any way.

Hey, I got those games in my cracker jack’s too!

The keyring hole has to separate when you pivot the handles. With a ring installed you can’t open the knife.

Silly penguin, you’re supposed to attach it to your keys in the open position!

I have a Rebel-series DSLR so no concerns about the crop factor. I have a mix of EF and EF-S lenses (a couple 3rd party so not sure about support there). I started with the Canon Elan 7 film camera as well as the older Canon FD-mount AE1 before moving to digital.

Thank you for the insights!

Canon R10

Did you come from the Canon EF/EF-S world prior to the R10 or is this your first DSLR? If you’ve migrated to RF did you bring any EF/EF-S lenses with you and if so, how do they fair with the adapter?

I’m a Canon guy sitting with a very old (at this point) but still capable DSLR that only gets hauled out occasionally. I really would like a new camera but the thought of having to buy all new lenses (EF or EF-S) causes my wallet to run and hide under the dresser.

JFC I’m old. I understood about 1/3 of the words in this post. I gather this is some sort of knife and it is of poor quality and after that I black out. Later, I awake from my stupor to find that I’m on a porch yelling at kids to get off my lawn.

I love the internet so much.

For longer exposures it will double your exposure time because it’ll do the dark frame right after the normal frame. I think Canon doesn’t want to confuse people (“my 2 second exposure takes 4 seconds?!”) right off the bat.

I’m assuming you’re doing a dark frame subtraction as a part of the long exposure?

Digging up this post to say that I finally got one and, for now at least, they’re still $10 amazingly. The design has changed a bit since the first release. The knife now has 2 positions for the pocket clip (left and right) and the orange seems less orange? They’ve also released an all-black and OD green version but those seem to be out-of-stock regularly.

Mine came out of the box nice and sharp but poorly painted on one side of the blade. If I can get it apart I might just strip the paint entirely.

The whole time “The Choice Is Yours” is running through my head. I am a product of the my youth for sure.

Wow you’ve been busy!

That’s great!

A Bradford knife is on my (long) wishlist of fixed blade knife makers. I’ve heard only good things about them. That CF looks great.

This is a heck of a deal. Adding a Falun for $7 to get me free shipping too.

Well, if you can find it, the Emerson Gentleman Jim is pretty close. Cross-posting this to !pocketknife@lemmy.world

Turns out there is such a thing as a full-hollow grind, at least in the straight-razor world. https://www.nakedarmor.com/blogs/news/why-razorsharp-grinding-is-important-for-a-straight-razor

Do you think if you emailed Mr. DeShivs he would comment on if it was one of his designs? Seems like he’s (rightfully) angry about the theft of his work and might just ignore the request but you never know.

You know, it is a good looking knife! Sort of a sodbuster shaped handle that’s well proven.

Ha! I’ll try to make my next update more boring!
