Real nuiscance that here in GB we can't still legally carry a locking folding knife iin public. Some not only practical but highly attractive models out there. Very neat purchase DB.

This week was a week of EDC-related mail-calls...
1) Vintage Swedish made solid brass carabiner. This one was about $10 I believe.
Really neat size and shape and the locking mechanism is a pin that is pulled out by the ring on the opposite side of the lock. Great design and locks very securely.
2) Hankie in Gold and Black Paisley pattern by MinhDo EDC-Designs.
Hankie + userid embroidery + shipping came out to less than $15 total.
3) Two CRKT knives that are now discontinued
About $20/knife
- A Van Hoy Snaplock 2 mini knife that I honestly couldn't be more pleased about;
- A Foldable Van Hoy Russ Kommer "Full Throttle" knife
This knife was included in the lot and I wasn't too excited about but seeing it in person it's a gorgeus knife with a lot of brass details and a nice, solid weight and feel to it;
The knives were sold as used but arrived looking brand spanking new.
All in all an excellent mail-call week
I should have said that the Swedish carabiner is a piston hank used in yachting. They come in two basic types. One has the piston without a hole and ring, and just a round grip, and is used for clipping mainly jib sails on to a wire stay. I used your type for setting spinnaker sails, where a lanyard is used on the ring to open it quickly and release the sail.
They do of course have many other uses, both marine and otherwise, where a clip is needed. My old yacht ones have gone into, among other things, the collar end of dog leads.
Fair enough Sgt. , we pays our money and we takes our chances. Saw a case in our local paper recently where a man in his 60s was taken ill in the streets, taken to hospital and what was described as a ' small lock knife ' was discovered. That's him got a record for carrying a blade now.

What do they do? Or are they just show?The 'hottest' lanyard bead in town literally dropped twenty minutes ago on Zerofeud

Being a Sriracha loving urban hipster (in denial...) - ...I of course just ordered one. Well,shipping was at least free
What do they do? Or are they just show?
Ah ok. I thought for a moment you fill it and had sauce on the go!Pure decoration/fun at the end of your lanyard.
It's a silly 'trend' to have a bead on it that in some way represent/show what you're into - a gun, a horse, aliens - or, in this case, spicy Sriracha sauce
Sure it can be used on your zipper to help you grip it but let's face it - it's the western world version of what 13 year old Japanese school girls puts on their keychains
