They are handy. I have a couple and one of the bigger sizes.You know what has proved to be the most useful tool of all for opening everything, cutting cordage in the garden, etc. ?
The tiniest wee Spyderco. The ones that's not much more than an inch long.
The bug....which I know I bought for a fiver, because I bought multiples of it so everyone has one on their keyring.
Hah! I wish I had your problemsNew mini curling tongs.....I cut my hair, it's gone from being waist length to just above my shoulders. It's driving me nuts, I can't tie it back, and the hairdresser left it a neat bob, but my hair waves and curls in the damp, so I'm trying to make it deliberate. Sort of
I thought I was getting too old to have long hair, but I'm going to grow it out again I think, maybe not waist length, but long enough to pin up out of my way.
By miles, my favourite actual user is a Brisa flat ground Trapper in O1. There are others close to my heart, of course, but this affordable little blank is just great once you have the edge the way you like it. You can buy it made up already, or as a kit, or buy just some pre-milled scales from Brisa, or totally DIY it.
They never made their Elver in flat O1, which is damnable, really. The flat D2 version is very good, though.
At least you don't get charged an arm and leg for haircuts.Hah! I wish I had your problems
I like everything about it apart from the crowbar look to the thickness of the blade. Sadly, instead of just acknowledging that and moving on, it got me thinking about what I most often use a fixed blade for and I realised it’s not for batoning fallen trees or levering open car doors, but cutting and slicing cordage, foodstuff and of course the endless parade of Amazon boxes that threaten to overwhelm me on a daily basis. This epiphany had me looking at the Lionsteel range beginning with the M4 and after umpteen hours on YouTube reviews of Lionsteel models, eventually noticing on the little B35.
Apparently it’s going to fall through my letterbox between 1130 and 1530 today.
FFS I thought I was over this nonsense!
I'll tell Bev you said that.....That deserves a stable mate and a new bag.

Just an update. Despite staying in (no loss as the weather was crap), No sign of a postie, but got a message to say it had been delivered. Sure enough, despite 24 hour tracked, needing a signature and age verification, it had been popped outside on the bench next to the front door and under the kitchen window. He or she must also have walked across next door's front garden to us as the camera failed to pic him up too.
Anyway, big thanks to @Templogin for setting me off on this trail. I love the thing. It's all that the good reviews say, is the perfect size (for me) and so comfortable to hold, use and even with the sheath (I'd considered getting a more slimming pouch or Kydex jobbie made) it's pocketable and discrete. It's also as non-tactical as a fixed blade gets.

And after oiling the sheath and the walnut scales it's even more appealing - to me anyhow.

I think I'm smitten.
Here you go.What are the dimensions? Looks fairly similar to the PITS fixed blade I have sat in a drawer somewhere. I should really bring that out here as I used it a lot.
Do you go to the same place?
Head down to their barber and ask for a short back and sidesIt cost me £35 to get my hair cut. It wasn't even complicated.
How come Himself and Son2 get their's done every six weeks and it only costs them 8 ?

I've cut my own hair for the last 50 years or more. Fortunately I'm not vain. Thank you, Mary; you've made me realise how much money I've saved.
9mm? fukin hippyClippers with a 9mm comb has done me for the last 20-odd years - occasionally swap haircuts with the eldest when I want a tidier cut or they want their undercut tidying up.
