    Orange Monster or Black Monster?

    I've owned both before, and kept the Orange Monster quite a bit longer (still sold both). The Orange Monster is surprisingly easier to read. The Black Monster only has two colors: black and white. The hands, hour markers, and minute markers are all white. It's kind of hard to focus on just the...

    Benchmade's 2009 lineup

    Didn't seem to hurt Apple or Surefire, both of whom have tight price controls and high quality products.

    Stop wasting time and send it back to Spyderco, they'll fix it.

    Hardcase like a Pelikan 1020?

    Is this good...

    Quick answers while I also wait for EDCF to return: 1. I would expect the watch to be durable up to G-Shock standards. Much more durable than most watches, and will probably take more damage than the wrist it's attached to. The watch mentioned has analog hands, which may make it slightly less...

    SF's Delta versus L.E.O knife

    Diminishing returns kicks in way, way before $400. I'd say after $150, you're paying for the company's marketing costs or getting fit-n-finish that doesn't effect the knife's usability. What exactly is it about these knives that you like/desire? Is it the multi-tool aspect, or the image? I ask...

    Can you recommend a small Maxpedition pouch/waistpack?

    I have an M2 and it is enormous. The belt slot is also sized for like a 2" belt, so it will move around and slide like crazy on a normal belt. I would not recommend it for belt carry.

    PSA: Benchmades' are sharp. ( Hospital trip )....

    QFT. I only needed to cut myself once to make sure I always know where the pointy end is going to end up...

    Super-Thin Wallet

    Well, that's disappointing. Can't really please both the thin wallet guys and the stodgy traditional guys at the same time. I think they should make limited-edition colors and custom work, to appeal to the designer crowd.

    All Ett Executive Leather

    The leather one is claimed to be the same thickness as the cloth ones, which is really hard to believe. Even more so because I own and use the cloth one. I might need to be the guinea pig here and try it out. Too bad it's only in black. Worst case scenario, I try out their unconditional...

    Super-Thin Wallet

    Like I'm going to trust a bunch of reviews on Amazon.com over glowing reviews from Candlepowerforums, EDCF, 43Folders, Lifehacker, etc. That being said, the turning point came when I saw the CEO of my company had one.

    Cell phone virus warning!!

    This sounds like a lame movie plot. It does however speak badly about those people who believe the rumor and pass it on to everybody else.

    Super-Thin Wallet

    I've got an All-Ett junior, I love it and should probably buy a dozen more so I'll never run out. It looks like they've discontinued many of the color options along with the website design. I really wanted a junior in dark green too. Gunga - maybe the Chawly Changer? I've got one (and two more...

    What's the best hearing protection

    If you want ear protection while at a rock concert or some other venue where the quality of sound is important - try the Etymotic ER-20 earplugs. They're designed to dampen sound uniformly across all frequencies, so loud music sounds the same - just softer, unlike the foam plugs which muffle...
