Going full retard

[glockman]

I was reading some stuff about what people carry as far as knives and tools and stumbled upon the mental health issue that is Atwood. Here is just a sample.

Random thread of the day perhaps? And please refrain from using the word "retard" improperly.

I fail to see where I used it improperly. Paying $45 for a piece of string with a bead clearly indicates that your mental capacity is diminished or slowed/retarded. I used it correctly even if it isn't politically correct.

How did you come across this item?

 

[glockman]

It started with looking for garage storage solutions which morphed into tool forum browsing, which lead to pocket knife discussion, which ended at a website called EDC which is filled with strange people obsessed with beads and things like Atwood tools. Found the link there.

this guy is sure excited about his for $60.

Lol wow that's an impressive video Steve. Can't believe he was as excited as he actually was about 1/2 of a toolset to take apart the knife for cleaning. I picture Park City people having this.

I will never again feel bad about spending what I deemed was a lot of money on something that I thought was kind of a luxury. $400 a tire is a steal when you view it through these guys perspective. They would spend $400 on the valve stem if Peter Atwood made it and put diamond knurling on it.

 

[idahoyj]

So, I get that the model in the video is half of what he needs to disassemble his $400 knife, but what does the one posted in the ebay link do? What do you do with it when you aren't taking your knife apart for fun?

 

[glockman]

You marvel at the Titanium and the knurling. Or you could use your $60 string to pull up the zipper on your coat.

What the s***?

But Steve, it's a really really nice 4 inch piece of paracord.

I'm really trying hard not to make fun of the way the guy in the video talks, but given the content, it's killing me.

 

[bamacpl]

Can we possibly get a bulk order of these???!!!

My wife paid 100 bucks for my titanium wedding ring.



That seems like a bargain AND it comes with some string! BONUS

 

[SpeedyVic]

Paying that much for a brick of a knife, will allow you to justify spending a proportional amount on the bead and rope to hang from said brick.

I'll stick with my Kershaw Leak. I can take it completely apart with a $1 torx bit.

That wedding ring comes with all kinds of strings attached.

Please excuse my phone, thats the short bus calling letting me know its here to take me to the rube store

Steve.. I want the five minutes of my life back that I wasted on that video..

I wish some one else would come up with a tool that could unscrew that knife.. Like a straight bladed object with a handle.. Maybe it could drive the screw in or out, so we could call it a SCREW DRIVER!
