2024.05.23 11:48 guiltyofnothing “You are obviously male and probably bald and do not understand the art that Hair is” Gratuitous insults over gratuities as /r/tipping debates ending tipping
You should get a tip because you had to do your job?[Continued:]
So also because I’m a Hairstylist, I don’t deserve a tip? We are paid accordingly to tipping. There are many restaurants that are paying people higher and charging more because they’re no longer accepting people tipping and that’s fine.
No, you don't deserve a tip for simply doing the job you were hired for. However, if your client feels like you provided excellent service then they have the option to tip you as they see fit. A tip is something you earn, not something you are entitled to.
Also believe me, even if you’re picking it up, I promise you having been a server in many of these situations we do deserve the tip we’ve put in a lot of labor behind the scenes and you guys never see it stocking all of the stuff that we put your food in and you think it’s we’re doing our job but they pay us because America doesn’t recognize minimum wage with tips we are paid lower because we are tipped
Complain to your employer or get a different job. That is not the customers problem. You know the role of the job you were applying for and how much the wage was when you were hired on.
You are seriously delusional. I hope no one spits in your food.[…]
See, I kinda hope someone does spit in his food, even though I know it's really extremely rare. I really do hope next time they order take out from a sit-down restaurant where they refuse to tip, they have a long ride home, getting stuck in traffic extra long, so the food is off temperature just long enough to still look, smell and taste fine, but have just enough bacteria to give them some terrible, but temporary, gastrointestinal distress. I think a day or 2 of intense cramping, explosive diarrhea, and projectile vomiting would be fitting karma.
That is a definite sign of professionalism.
You are obviously male and probably bald and do not understand the art that Hair isOne person has a simple solution:
If you're having control issues just don't out to eat.lol y'all wild.Accusations of dishonesty are levied:
Based on your level of grammar, I have to assume you are a server. No one else can survive being this clueless.
You lost me here, this was completely uncalled for.
You are a seriously arrogant prick.
Recently retired as a server. Made $40-60/hr. How 'bout you?
Based on your level of inconsideration, I have to assume you are a piece of shit
Based on your manners. You a bitch
There's a social obligation to tip. And remember, if you plan on revisiting a restaurant where you stiff the servers, expect terrible service.[Continued:]
There is absolutely no obligation to do so, but if you are delusional enough to believe it, go ahead and keep tipping.
Because of the wack tipping culture in America, I rarely go out to eat, and when I do, it’s almost always a fine dining experience, where the servers deserve to be tipped for above and beyond service for good wine recommendations, a table we asked for, and willing to make me or my guests something off the menu for dietary needs/restrictions. Otherwise, I prefer to cook and eat at home.
I served for decades. Made $2.13/hr wage, $40-$60/hr tips. I wasn't referring to tip jars. Please don't add to the hate.
Ah… the $2.13 LIE.
When you lie about your wage we can not believe anything else you say.
What'd I lie about now?
If you make less than the Federal Minimum Wage your employer is MANDATED BY FEDERAL LAW to pay you the difference. So you never walk home making $2.13 an hour.A server pushes back:
It’s never the customers’ fault that you ASKED for that job.
In every restaurant I've ever worked, the second time you put in for wage compensation, you're fired. Stop making like you discovered something. That bullshit is not an option. You're just showing your ignorance.
You are still to be paid minimum wage as dictated by Federal law.
You need to stand up for yourself. I don’t know the name for someone like that.
You tell the person serving you at the start of the meal that you don’t believe in tipping, because you are strong in your convictions and beliefs, and not a coward. As a server, I will take your order, bring your food and drink, and drop the check, and that’s absolutely it. I won’t refill your drinks, explain anything on the menu, modify your order, ask if you want anything else, bus your table, or speak to you in any manner. Sound good?[Continued:]
Just toss a few coins on the table so she knows you didn’t forget.
Again, I expect cowardice moves from cowards. Big flex, Big Guy.
38 cents - buy yourself something nice. 😘
Least I don’t have to work constantly like you do to passively aggressively show my dominance. LMAO
“Work” 😂LMFAO🤣[…]
I guess when a person fetches food they think making sure the coins land next to the dirty plates instead of the floor is “work.” 😂💸💸
Exactly, I work 25 hrs a week, it’s nice. Lots more to do in life. Like go to the beach and travel. But let me tell you, I’ll be super sad at the beach thinking about how you dominated me with that coin comment. Gee whiz, hope I can get through the day off.
“Work” 😂🤣
The beach sucks. Please spend every minute you can in the sun.
If I wasn’t in your head you would stop replying. 🤣
Back at you. And I’m too pale to be in the direct sun.
One user is called out and things get personal:I won’t refill your drinks, explain anything on the menu, modify your order, ask if you want anything else, bus your table, or speak to you in any mannerIt's funny that you think I care. I tip you out of pity. Not because you are providing a great service I can't live without. You are worthless. Try to remember that the next time you demand tips.
Honestly, it would be so much easier if all servers are shitheads like you. If I knew you are my server, I would never tip a single penny. Unfortunately, there are a few nice servers.
It’s funny you think I care what you think. Oh no, own_solution7820 pities me. Whatever will I do!
Wow, what a brilliant comeback. I misjudged you. You might actually be as smart as a 4 year old.
Raven is acting like it’s their restaurant bc someone isn’t tipping them. I was a server for over a decade. You win and lose some. I usually won bc I was outstanding and my service indirectly demanded compensation. If I don’t receive it, upset yes but this entitled attitude like you own the joint is part of the problem. Yes you are going to go over the menu, and yes you will answer simple questions. At the end maybe you get a tip. It’s how the business model works.[Continued:]
LOL. You obvi didn’t read well bc I get maybe 5 non tippers a calendar year, work 25 hours a week, and travel often. My tip average is 19%. All I said was have the balls to admit your stance from the beginning, but of course, y’all don’t have the backbone for that. Just keyboard warriors!
Your BF broke up with you for a reason it seems.
You’re an example of a keyboard warrior. I read it all. I’ve served and have my opinion. Made the point to that you think you own the place. And you contradict yourself by saying it doesn’t matter yet give a scenario where you give them no service. It’s not your choice that’s what you’re missing. You’re a replaceable employee not the owner. We all are replaceable at our jobs, you just seem entitled.
Yet still there making good money.
they’re not there. You’re the second server I’ve seen on Reddit today who has improper grammar yet expects to be paid like a professional with a college degree. Wowza.
Are you out of your mind? LMAO. I work THERE. Not I work THEY ARE. Dumb ass. Amazing.Two users bicker, with one nuking their comments:
Tipping has gotten out of hand. I'm a stylist of almost 40 years, my clients do tip me because I always remember things about them and act on that. The guy that's a mechanic gets an extra neck massage during shampoo. The gal that just got done teaching a workout class gets a bottle of water that I pay for out of my own pocket. The list goes on for each client.[Continued:]
tip for me, not for thee. got it.
You don't get it. Those who go over and above deserve tips. Got it now?Hard disagree. Good service is tionwoethy in many professions. By your logic a taxi driver or Uber driver who is quiet and gets you there efficiently gets no tip because they are doing their job. They don’t have repeat customers like you do when giving people a massage. Bartenders also who do their job and get me a drink. I don’t need them flirting or whatever above and beyond in your mind is for that job. Good service and tip. Yes I know you and many people would refuse to tip for those services which is your right
Edit: when in doubt, delete your comment so it looks like the one who is describing you is actually saying what you said
Where did you get flirting from, are you crazy?
You specifically said you don’t tip for doing a job. You said someone has to go above and beyond to get a tip to another person questioning your comments. Many bartenders do flirt for tips, if you don’t think that is true you are the crazy one ma’am. There are so many jobs that deserve a tip for doing their service. One doesn’t need to go above and beyond in these roles for a tip which you say is the only reason to tip and what they are designed for. Hence my comment that hard disagree with your original statement. I can do without any of that just do your job and it’s a tip
I absolutely did not say that i don't tip, I said it's getting out of hand. And if you think I'm a bartender, you're the crazy one, ma'am.
Well since you deleted your comments that I cited I can’t show them back to you. But you said how tipping is out of control. As a hair stylist you will give people massages or get them a water / that is going above and beyond and tip worthy. No question it is. You also said doing basic service shouldn’t be tipped and tips are designed specifically for going above and beyond. My whole point is I hard disagree with you, take the taxi or Uber or bartender example - I tip for doing the job efficiently and don’t even try to go above and beyond that’s not what I want. Some will agree with you only to tip on exceptional (above and beyond service) and others may agree with me that tips are designed only for those going above and beyond and doing a service correctly can be tipped too
I did say tipping is out of control, I never denied that. I agree with you about the Uber, taxi thing that you've repeated a few times, for me it's the picking up a muffin at a counter and there's a tip jar, for what? That's what I'm referring to. You said I was a bartender, I'm not. Geez, I didn't know that I'd have to go in such full detail for you.
And I deleted those comments because I was sick of you taking it the wrong way not making myself clear enough for you and you putting words in my mouth. I never said I don't tip.
Well, my new pen pal, it's late and I no longer have the time to write. I hope you see this before I delete all of this, you are being negative and hell-bent on thinking I mean things that I don't. I sincerely hope that it's not because you had a bad day, tomorrow is always better. I really do mean that, all the best to you and good night.

Standing tall at 50 inches, this tree is perfect for my large cats who love to climb, jump, and play. The multi-functional design allows them to rest, climb, and exercise according to their wishes. They love to lounge in the cozy flower-shaped cat beds and stretch their legs on the sturdy branches. The high-quality material made of particle board covered with flannel is soft and comfortable for my cats, with the built-in iron pipe pillars providing a durable and stable structure. The spacious room and pumpkin-shaped design create a comfortable sleeping environment, and the built-in scratching pad ensures that my furniture stays scratch-free. One downside I noticed is that it's pretty heavy, making it a bit difficult to move around. However, the installation process was straightforward, and it didn't take long before my cats were enjoying their new playground. Overall, this cat tower offers a fun, cozy, and durable space for my cats to unwind and play. 🔗Uniquely Designed Cat Tree Tower for Relaxing and Playtimehttps://preview.redd.it/7ed6tj5nb52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7653a0d4ea3d0f6fbd43c1145babdc634f2cf59 I recently had the pleasure of using the Skywin Modern Cat Tower, and I must say, it's a purr-fect playtime companion for my feline friends. The sleek, modern design not only enhanced the stylishness of my living space but also provided my cats with a comfortable and stimulating environment to play, scratch, and relax. One of the standout features of this cat tower is the Sisal-branded cat scratch pad. Cats simply couldn't resist the natural textures and scratching capabilities of this material, and it seemed to keep them entertained for hours. The soft felt pads also provided a cozy and safe surface for them to take naps and curl up on. While the Modern Cat Tower was easy to assemble and conveniently sits on the floor, I noticed that the sturdy design could be a bit of a challenge for some older cats to climb on. Additionally, the instructions for hand-washing the padding seemed a bit unusual, but I couldn't think of another way to keep the pads spotless. All in all, the Skywin Modern Cat Tower serves as a stylish and functional addition to any cat lover's home. Its eye-catching design and diverse features make it a unique and enriching playtime experience for cats of all ages. 🔗Chic 4-Level Adjustable Cat Tree with Scratch Post for Modern Homeshttps://preview.redd.it/abgd20knb52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b58f44f181e76cc6f7cb400a9f0640235a70640 Recently, I had the pleasure of trying the Cat Craft 00350 climbing and perch cat tree. This versatile piece of furniture was perfect for my home, easily adjusting to the ceiling for added stability. The expandable rod made it easy to assemble, and the soft, plush fabric provided a cozy space for my furry friends to rest. The velcro sisal mat was an added bonus, encouraging them to scratch and play. However, one downside was the cleaning process - the fabric needed to be hand-washed only. Despite this, the overall experience with the Cat Craft 00350 was a positive one, with my cats enjoying the different levels and perches available. The water-resistant frame added durability, and the inclusion of a scratching pad and claw post made this a well-rounded cat climbing and resting solution. 🔗Bold and Stylish Cat Tower for Kittenshttps://preview.redd.it/xfw0fkznb52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93391e39ff3d7f82cae4a5069357b92af90cfa16 I recall using this 53-inch multi-level cat tree in my own home, and it definitely lived up to the hype! . The three floors provided my curious kitty plenty of space to climb and explore. I even noticed a distinct difference in her activity levels since having this playhouse. The product is made of E1 grade particle board, which offers a stable and secure foundation for cats to rely on, and the sisal-covered scratching posts kept my kitten happy and content. The plush perch was soft and friendly, and the kitten showed great satisfaction with it. My only minor gripe was the need for more frequent cleaning, but overall, I would highly recommend this cat tree to any pet owner looking to provide their kitty an engaging and entertaining environment. 🔗4-Level Solid Wood Cat Tree Condo with Teasing Toyhttps://preview.redd.it/65effi6ob52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba8dd896cfd713ac1a1bc17bc440a987a3fa2c17 I just got this cat tree for my furry little buddy and I must say, it's a game-changer. The 61-inch solid wood design is not only visually appealing but also sturdy, ensuring my cat's safety while he plays. The multiple tiers, condo, ladder, and hanging toys keep him active and entertained, and as a bonus, the natural sisal ropes are perfect for those scratching sessions. I appreciate how easy it was to assemble, with the included hardware and instructions. Overall, I'm beyond happy with this purchase, and my cat seems to love it just as much. 🔗Comfortable multi-level cat climbing tower with a window viewhttps://preview.redd.it/lte1lzpob52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=56a3ec13b4f9b98d057e2f49e84adb9234586726 PAWZ Road's Modern 5-Level Indoor Cat Tower has been a staple in my cat's life for months now. Not only does it come in a sleek, modern-looking design, but it also comes with a pendant that adds an extra touch of cuteness. The tower is made of a sturdy, durable wood material that has held up well over time. The scratching texture on the tower is a game-changer for my kitty - it's perfect for her scratching needs. It's not too steep nor too low, so my cat feels secure while climbing. The top groove provides a cozy spot for her to nap and feel embraced, which she absolutely loves. Despite the fact that it comes with pieces to assemble, I found it to be a breeze to put together. Plus, it saves space in my house and gives my cat a playful area to climb, nap, and investigate. It's a great alternative to large freestanding cat trees and scratching posts, and it seamlessly fits into my home's decor with its beige and white color. Cleaning the tower is simple - I use a lint roller or give it a good scrub with some soap. Overall, my cat adores her PAWZ Road Tower, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. 🔗Premium 76-Inch Cat Tower with Sisal Scratching Posts and Multi-Level Hammocks for All Life Stageshttps://preview.redd.it/ldo47jwob52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=81f608b6978ddae57a0cb01b645788d25529e7e7 As a reviewer, I found the MSmask Cat Tree 76 Inches to be a delightful addition to my indoor cat's playtime routine. It stands tall at 76 inches, offering ample space for my kitty to climb up and down and enjoy the various levels. The multi-layer design is perfect for multi-cat households or for those with a single furry friend who enjoys exploring different levels. I particularly loved the large space at the top, where I placed the perches and the long condo. The cozy spots were a hit with my cat, who happily lounged at the highest point in the morning, basking in the warmth of the first rays of sunshine. The three types of hammocks catered to different cat sizes and preferences, ensuring that my little one found her perfect spot to curl up. One of my favorite features was the sisal scratching posts, which kept my cat's claws in check and provided a natural way for her to maintain healthy nails. With its sturdy and stable design, this cat tower not only kept my cat safe but also made it easy to assemble, providing a hassle-free experience for its users. The MSmask Cat Tree 76 Inches is a charming and functional addition to any cat lover's home, delivering on both style and practicality. 🔗Cute, Sturdy Wooden Cat Tree with Natural Branch and Comfy Percheshttps://preview.redd.it/kbfskv8pb52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3fe0187e51fe4c7fc30b734d6b640b4253ea0d39 The COZIWOW cat tree was the ultimate hideaway for my feline friends. Made of natural branch and chipboard, it was a beautiful and durable addition to our home. The soft velboa on each cat perch provided a cozy spot for them to lounge on. However, the stability of the tree left something to be desired. Despite the assembly being straightforward, the product wasn't as solid as I would have hoped. One of my cats enjoyed playing with the scratching balls at the base of the tree, and the different layers of perches allowed for flexibility in their climbing. The design was attractive, but the craftsmanship wasn't of the highest quality, as I ended up having to find a larger bolt to secure the broken piece. Although the tree could be wobbly at times, my cats liked using it and it was a fun addition to our living room. However, I would recommend this product for smaller cats rather than large ones to ensure stability. Overall, the COZIWOW cat tree offered a unique and attractive spot for my cats to play and relax, but it wasn't perfect for every situation. 🔗Versatile and Safe Lulu Cat Towerhttps://preview.redd.it/yihwpgvpb52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d2cfc81183edcb07f1bb8036e3fb18cc18ff2a70 As a reviewer who's been using the Naomi Home Lulu Cat Tower, let me tell you that this towering feline haven is a true five-star wonder. With two generously sized levels, it's a haven for large kitties to stretch, climb, and perch in comfort. The house-cats of the world will appreciate the thoughtful design; not only does the rugged household-grade carpet create a cozy resting spot, but the oil-less sisal rope ensures their nails stay sharp and healthy. And, let's not forget the scratching post - a vital necessity for any feline friend. There's no need to fret about assembly either. As one reviewer attested, it's a breeze to put together. However, there's a catch - while the tower can hold over 50 pounds, the top perch might not accommodate larger cats. But this minor drawback doesn't even come close to detracting from the overall satisfaction of the product. Its visual appeal, craftsmanship, and easy assembly all come together to make the Naomi Home Lulu Cat Tower a top choice for large-cat lovers everywhere. 🔗Cute Cats Love Multi-Level Play Towershttps://preview.redd.it/15tbz60qb52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72448f935cb7d3be1862904cba73046b4b84d38e For the past few weeks, I've had the pleasure of introducing our indoor cat to the Monibloom Cat Tree. As a busy family, we've always struggled to keep our feline friend entertained, especially when it comes to playtime. This cat tree has been a game-changer! I was initially drawn to its multi-level design. My cat seems to enjoy having a variety of platforms to explore, lounge, and even nap on. The cat condos are a huge hit, too. It provides a bit of privacy and a comfortable spot for our cat to retreat to, especially during the hustle and bustle of the day. She even enjoys scratching on the sisal rope posts - it's been more entertaining than I expected! What truly impresses me is the sturdy construction. Despite daily playtime, the Monibloom Cat Tree remains stable and secure, offering our cat a dependable structure to play without any worries about tipping over. The soft, plush fabric also adds a touch of luxury, making it a comfortable place for our cat to rest and relax. However, there is one area of improvement: the cat tree is a bit heavy for easy relocation. Other than that, we're thoroughly enjoying our new furry companion's playtime companion. The Monibloom Cat Tree is a must-have for any indoor cat owner looking to provide endless fun and entertainment. 🔗Comfortable Cat Tree with Scratching Post and Jump Platformhttps://preview.redd.it/eam67ylqb52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1797a4045f93f0fd0e3c82db8327fc50182132c4 Imagine walking into your living room and seeing a little kitty kingdom sitting pretty in the corner. This is no ordinary kingdom, but rather a cute little feline kingdom housed in a vibrant fish-nap colored cat tower. The first thing that caught my eye was its stylish design that complemented my home's décor, instead of sticking out like a sore thumb. Once assembled, I was impressed by the sturdy structure that made it look stable, making my fuzzy friend feel safe and secure as they went about their playful business. The spacious platform provided a comfortable spot for my kitten to gaze far and wide, looking like a little king or queen surveying their territory from above. The integrated sisal scratching post was a hit, providing a natural and safe way for my kitty to scratch away without harming my furniture. The faux fur used in the cat tower was exceptionally soft and comfortable, ensuring they had a cozy place to rest, sleep, and unwind.

However, I managed to put it together with the help of some online guidance and tools included fortunately. Overall, this fish-nap colored cat tower is an excellent investment for any cat lover, providing a fun, safe, and comfortable space for their feline friends. 🔗Elevated Cat Tree with Adjustable Height and Scratching Posthttps://preview.redd.it/7j1ndxtqb52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d57e04cbd3ce988e1bd6e5c5aa72672e2cb480e3 As a cat owner, I was drawn to the Cat Craft 00350 Unisex 4-Level Carpeted, Adjustable Floor to Ceiling Climbing & Perch Cat Tree for its sleek design and versatility. With an expandable rod that secures the tree to the ceiling for added stability, reaching a height of 89.76 inches, it was a perfect fit for my living space. The tree's features were the highlights of my experience, from the Velcro sisal mat that increased interest and allowed for scratching, to the soft, plush fabric that provided a cozy resting spot for my furry friend. The built-in scratching post and perch were a bonus, adding variety to the tree's design. One thing that stood out was the easy-to-clean fabric, making it a hassle-free addition to my home. The easy-to-follow instructions and durable, furniture-style design were pluses for modern cat parents like myself. However, the product's overall weight made assembly a bit challenging, but once set up, it provided a stable and safe climbing experience for my cat. The limited 60-day warranty was also a bit disappointing, but overall, the Cat Craft 00350 Unisex Cat Tree exceeded my expectations in terms of functionality and style. 🔗Adorable Multi-Level Cat Furniture Towerhttps://preview.redd.it/6llykq8rb52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00e5fa135c39517a130a8a31d8b9829c5b869fe7 I recently discovered the Bestpet 33-inch Cat Tree, and I must say, it's been a delightful addition to my indoor cat's life. The cat tower comes with complete instructions and tools, making it a breeze to assemble this little abode.

However, there is one feature that deserves mention - the knife's weight. At 9 ounces, it's not too heavy, but if you're planning on carrying it in your pocket all day, you might feel its presence more than you'd expect. Overall, the Cold Steel Recon Tanto is a reliable and versatile blade that has proven itself in various situations. Its durability, sharpness, and the sleek design all contribute to its status as an essential tool for everyday use and unexpected emergencies. 🔗Top-Tier Performance and Utility Blade: Missile Strike Fixed-Blade Cross Knife in Coyote Tanhttps://preview.redd.it/mo964cfka52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d91b163d5dba219bc0f634b9fd03670e44691630 I've been using the Tops Knives Missile Strike for a couple of weeks now, and I have to say, it's been quite the companion.

Each time, it's managed to hold up impressively, and I never have to worry about it failing me. However, one downside I've noticed is that the knife requires a bit of maintenance. It's recommended to hand wash the knife after each use, which can be a bit inconvenient at times. But overall, the pros far outweigh the cons.

This innovative take on the WWI trench knife is both stylish and functional, with its thick steel pommel and SK-5 high carbon blade. What stood out to me right away with this knife was the comfortable grip it provides; the D ring guard made of reinforced aluminum feels sturdy and secure in my hand. The knife's overall length of 13.5 inches might seem intimidating at first, but it actually provides a good balance between versatility and power. The thick 7.5-inch blade, available in both double edge and tanto styles, is coated with black Tuff-Ex, providing excellent corrosion resistance and increased cutting power. One of the highlights of the Cold Steel Chaos knife is its Tuff-Ex coating, which makes it perfectly suitable for everyday use in any environment. The Secure-Ex sheath it comes with is another strong point of this knife. It's designed for reliable and versatile carry with a belt loop attachment. The handle, made of 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, is both sturdy and lightweight. I must say, the quality of this product is top-notch, and Cold Steel has truly outdone itself with the Chaos Double Edge knife. 🔗Reliable Full Tang Cross Knife with MOLLE Mounthttps://preview.redd.it/iy1k735la52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c09cec0f4d4bab14f88eea9b0e9d4245fbc3039 As an avid outdoorsman, I found the TRUE Fixed Blade Knife to be a reliable and versatile tool in my kit. The 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade with its drop point design offers a solid edge and excellent retention, perfect for those who need a long-lasting knife that can handle any task. One of the highlights of this knife is its flexibility in carrying options, thanks to the molded sheath. It can be easily attached using the MOLLE system for those who rely on it for their outdoor adventures or in everyday life. The vertical belt loop also adds convenience for users who prefer carrying it on either hip. However, one aspect that could use improvement is the handle design. While it is comfortable and ergonomic, it could benefit from some texture for better grip, especially in wet conditions. Despite this, the TRUE Fixed Blade Knife remains a trusty companion that has proved useful in my daily life and outdoor activities. 🔗Compact, High-Performance Fixed Blade Knifehttps://preview.redd.it/2xd8m5fla52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf6a3300378388695c4681b0f38112c20d1c0f68 The Cold Steel 49LCKD SRK Compact Fixed Blade caught my attention when I first saw it in person. I was searching for a reliable and high-performance small knife for my daily activities. Upon getting it, the first thing that stood out was the impressive craftsmanship of the handle and blade, made from a mix of Kray-Ex and SK5. It's a perfect balance of utility and aesthetics. The blade length of 12.5 cm made it extremely convenient for everyday tasks, whereas the 145-gram weight offered just the right amount of heft. On the other hand, it is not without its shortcomings. Despite the compact size, there was some limitation in terms of handle length, making it uncomfortable for people with large hands. But overall, the Cold Steel 49LCKD SRK Compact Fixed Blade proved to be a versatile and sturdy companion, ready to take on any challenge. 🔗Fox Native Survival Bushcraft Knife - Versatile and Durable D2 Carbon Steel Knifehttps://preview.redd.it/bddpytsla52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b96f8e16b512b3aec08565a339c4531c664cdf5 I was recently on a camping trip and decided to bring along the Fox Native Survival Bushcraft Knife for some extra peace of mind. This knife, designed by Andrea Todesco, made me wonder why I hadn't been using something like this in the past. From the get-go, unsheathing it felt surprisingly tactile and well-made. It's the perfect size for various tasks, thanks to the 17.5 cm (6.89") D2 carbon steel blade that effortlessly glides through wood. Sharpening it was a breeze, and I appreciated that it retained a sharp edge even after a few hours of heavy-duty work. Now let's talk about the handle. My favorite part? The Micarta construction. It's sturdy and gives you an incredible grip, even when your hands feel like they're about to fall off after a long day of hard work. The presence of Paracord holes was a smart touch that definitely added another safety layer to the knife. The leather belt sheath that comes with the Fox Native Survival Bushcraft Knife is a perfect fit. It's a nice addition that gives the knife a professional look and makes it safe to transport. All in all, this rugged knife is a worthy companion for any wilderness excursion. However, I did have a little trouble with the sheath staying on when I was moving about really quickly.

The first thing that caught my attention was its adaptability - it effortlessly transitions from a lightweight cutting tool to a robust, reliable one. The Kansbol feels like a perfect companion on the trail, ready to tackle any challenge thrown its way. One of the key highlights that really impresses me is the knife's ability to be used with a fire starter. It's such a helpful feature on those cold winter nights when all you want is to warm your hands. The knife's spine is even perfect for creating sparks with a ferro rod. Plus, the Multi-Mount feature allows for endless mounting options, and it's even MOLLE compatible. The knife's ergonomic handle has a great grip, making it ideal for those with bigger hands. But, there's one slight drawback - it's not as effective when it comes to larger and more demanding cutting tasks. In these situations, a heavier and more robust knife is better suited. Though the Kansbol weighs slightly less than its heavy-duty counterpart, its included sheath has a more positive lock and can accept the knife regardless of blade direction. The knife is made of high-quality stainless steel, known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, but it might not be as good for batoning as the Heavy Duty Companion. Overall, I'd recommend the Morakniv Kansbol for anyone looking for an all-round knife to bring on their outdoor adventures. Its versatility and reliability make it the perfect choice for both forest and lake activities. 🔗Danco Micro Flex Knife: Strong, Sharp, and Affordable Cross Knife with High Edge Retention and Durabilityhttps://preview.redd.it/llso4ioma52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d45f9820407bdf401d44e5bf17bd66fc3cb97993 I recently had the chance to try out the Danco 9" Lunar Micro Flex Knife, and let me tell you, it exceeded my expectations. As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors, I'm always on the lookout for a reliable and durable knife that can stand up to whatever I throw its way. The Swedish Sandvik 14C28N steel used in this knife really sets it apart from others I've tried. What makes this steel so special? Well, it offers the perfect balance between hardness and brittleness, which is crucial for anglers dealing with game. Its superior edge retention also allowed me to keep an edge for an impressive 5-7 times longer than other knives I've used. The finer-grain structure of the Swedish steel contributes to this impressive durability, and it's great to see that Danco has managed to incorporate these unique properties into their knife. One thing that really stood out to me was the ease of blade re-sharpening. The improved edge stability and folding make this process much simpler and more efficient than I've experienced with other knives. The knife's strong, sharp, and durable design makes it a great choice for any outdoor enthusiast. And let's not forget the affordable price, which is always a plus when you're looking for a high-quality tool. In conclusion, the Danco 9" Lunar Micro Flex Knife is an excellent choice for anyone who needs a dependable and durable knife for their outdoor adventures. The exceptional edge retention, combined with the ease of blade re-sharpening, make this knife a standout among its competitors.

The black linen micarta handle, with its comfortable, textured grip, made it easy to securely hold onto, even during the most grueling activities. The blade's sawback configuration also proved useful in various cutting tasks, going beyond the scope of a typical fixed blade. The black Kydex belt sheath is a well-designed inclusion, providing a secure way to keep this knife close when not in use. However, I did notice the blade tang could be slightly thicker for a more snug fit within the sheath. Nonetheless, the hand-finished build and the knowledge that this knife was made right here in the USA made this experience all the more satisfying. 🔗Frost Hawk Guardian Cross Knife with Bone Handle and Brown Leather Sheathhttps://preview.redd.it/7c1pukdna52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=89c8ab4eaf1a769ddfcb6fe97775b3ab8eed6f45 The Frost CW886TB Hawk Guardian is a striking addition to any knife collection. The 12-inch overall length and a 7-inch satin finish stainless blade make it a versatile tool for various tasks. The torched bone handle provides a comfortable grip, while the brass guard and pommel add a touch of elegance. The pakkawood spacers and brown leather belt sheath complete the package, giving it a refined and polished look.

Crafted with the finest molybednum vanadium steel for the blade and 18-8 stainless steel for the handle, it exudes an elegant durability that adds a touch of professionalism to any chef's kitchen. The sturdy grip, although a bit heavy for some, fits perfectly in my palm and keeps the knife from slipping during use. It might need a little extra effort to clean after every use, but the hand-wash-only instructions ensure the blade stays sharp and corrosion-free. Overall, this Zaku Giri Knife is a must-have for any serious cook, with its sturdy design, premium craftsmanship, and satisfying sharpness. 🔗Kershaw Federalist USA-Made Slipjoint Knifehttps://preview.redd.it/16alt3hoa52d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=90aef5e4f0b0409aee4f55fa1d6fe78e0be2f9ee The Kershaw Federalist, a slipjoint designed to pay tribute to the American spirit, is a versatile and sturdy tool.
