Yes, it's a gimmick. But it works. It really does what it is supposed to do. Think of a typical picnic, where you have crusty loaves of bread, salame, cheese, fruits, and vegetables........ It's even good for utility purposes like opening mail, plastic snack packages, and Amazon deliveries. The rounded tip is safer. You won't be able to fight with this knife, but that's what a CCW is for.
The X calls it a folding steak knife. The truth is that it's almost the exact same thing as a cheap steak knife which you buy in bulk from a restaurant supply. The knives that sell for $12, for a dozen knives, that every cheap diner sets the table with. I don't have a fancy set of steak knives. At my house, I use the same exact cheap steak knives that restaurants use. Because they are cheap, and because they work. I have been accused, more than once, of stealing them from mom & pop restaurants. That's the untold, dirty secret. A cheap, serrated steak knife makes the best tomato slicer. Only I'm the idiot who spends a fortune, to buy a folding version, to carry around....... and I can't fight with it.
The folding pocket steak knife did a great job with my short rib dinner. I don't know if it's "worth" the asking price. But it's a good item. It works.
My friend treated us to a round at the private Almaden Country Club the other day. It was gorgeous, and a fun course. Here's a picture of his place from the course. There's a main house, a pool / guest house, and of course a pool behind the trees. He's got over an acre on the fairway. It's good to be the king, apparently.
Golf is an interesting game. I've tried it. I loved everything about golf, except the game. I like the club house food, the bar, driving the little carts, the scenery, the serenity..... most of all, feeling like a rich guy. There you are in the best park, and there are no kids blasting music and smoking weed, no garbage blowing in the wind like tumbleweeds, and no used condoms and needles to step on. Much nicer than an inner city park. The only thing that I didn't like, was actually hitting the little ball. Not that I dislike it. I just didn't have fun doing it. I have fun shooting and fishing. So the old rod & gun clubs were a better fit for me. Sadly, rod & gun clubs have all but disappeared from San Francisco.
I've never tried to golf, the few people I know that do golf seem to really like it.
Opinions vary. It's like every other activity. Not everyone gets it.
I like to shoot. I never got into skeet shooting. I fish. But I don't fly fish. I like baseball. Played it as a kid. Go to games as an adult. But I don't watch it on television. I ride a motorcycle as transportation. I don't belong to a motorcycle club, or ride around aimlessly in a group, just to ride around in a group because we think that people will notice our group. I have a white Ford truck, but it's not a white Ford Bronco. Which, of course, I would love to actually own a white Ford Bronco. Like the one that OJ had.
Other things that I don't do...... knitting, collect stamps, juggle, play racket games, wine tasting, toss horseshoes, watch ballet, step aerobics, row or kayak, pedicures......
Years ago, I stopped wearing shoes. I stopped buying shoes. Wore out the shoes that I had sitting around. At the time, I didn't have any "nice" shoes that were worth repairing when the heels wore down, or the soles lost traction. Low quality shoes that are glued together, and sold at discount stores. My "nicest" was Sears DieHard. Never replaced them.
The X likes to point out the obvious. When I wear black tie, I wear Tony Lama. Cowboy boots and a tuxedo embarrass her. Only nobody else notices something like that, except for her. She says, " you have to own at least 1 pair of shoes for 'semi-formal', and 1 pair that you can wear with suits." Her idea is that I just can't wear boots everywhere. I say that she's been reading too many of those old books on things like how to set a table, letter writing etiquette, and how to dress for black tie, white tie, and morning dress. Nobody follows things like that anymore. People today think that they can attend worship service in "nice" jeans.
She Who Shalt Not Be Named made the executive decision that I will now own black patent leather shoes to wear with my dinner jacket, and brown shoes to wear with blue suits. Since I've been wearing boots for so many years, I only have boot socks and white socks that come in a multi pack. I no longer own any dress socks.
No fear. I turn to Amazon. I find some socks. And I don't care what they cost, or if there are socks that are cheaper. I've made up my mind. I'm buying these. Because the product description clearly says that they are "masculine". I'm wearing manly socks. No girlie-man socks for me. No Sir.
For the first 20 years of playing golf I really didn't enjoy golf as much as going golfing. Once I started playing once a week I got better and started enjoying the golf itself. On Wed I scored a 12 on a par 5 to completely scuttle my round, which fortunately only cost fifty bucks. I did have some epic 3 Wood shots where I was swinging the club as hard as I could and making direct contact. That's rare though.
I like shooting, but don't hunt. I also like fishing but don't eat fish.
The only golfing I ever did in my life was when I was a kid and dad took us out to a miniature golf place. I don't hunt or fish. I will eat fish, but I don't like fishing. Only reason I have a gun is self-defense. I used to love to play tennis and go bowling. However, as you can imagine, my injury eliminated any chance of doing that. As for shoes, I have two pair. Slippers, and dress shoes. I wear the slippers 98% of the time. They are comfortable, and because I have a very hard time reaching my feet, the dress shoes have Velcro straps, which I use a back scratcher to assist me in putting on. My church is a "Come as you are church" so in the summertime (like now) a lot of us wear shorts. On special days like Easter most people will dress up in their "Sunday Best" And of course there are those who dress up all the time for Sunday services.
Hey Fifty150, maybe you can buy OJ's Bronco, he will not be needing it anymore.
