2024.06.11 07:32 IHateWhoIWasBefore My husband (29m) called me (27f) a loser, how do I move forward?

My husband of 1.5y (29m) called me (27f) a loser, I have no identity, and questioned my value and I don’t have anything that makes me an attractive or interesting partner. That I peaked in college and I have nothing going for me. I’m just a mom and he doesn’t want that in a partner, and doesn’t want that for me. He said it during a fight (has a history of getting extremely angry & saying extremely hurtful things during our fights).
I’ve asked to have some calm conversations since (he never initiates) and I told him he hurt me. He was mostly calm during these conversations but definitely not understanding or kind. Finally I told him that I feel uncomfortable around him because I feel constantly judged/ashamed/embarrassed/lesser. His response “Great, now that’s something else I have to deal with”.
 I’ve cried so many times. I don’t think I can get past this. And after all our fights about others things I’ve been able to move past the hurt and try my best to be a good wife and mother. But I can’t this time. I want to. I’m working on myself, but he feels like a stranger to me. I feel so sad. I don’t want to be around him. What should I do? He absolutely does not want a divorce. I’m a SAHM to a baby and toddler and mil spouse who lives on the opposite coast of my family and friends. Ours sons love him and I can’t take their dad away.

2024.06.11 07:26 tarlala Cinnamon allergy?

Hey everyone, Reaching out on reddit because I'm trying to figure out what my son is allergic to. Disclaimer- don't come at me for these food choices. He has gotten hives from - McDonald's apple pie, burger King French toast, and lamb korma. I was trying to search the ingredients and feel like cinnamon could be the culprit BUT I make him home made French toast with cinnamon every weekend and he has never reacted. Someone at work today said that there is fake cinnamon with other fillers and ingredients which got me wondering if the "cinnamon" used at the fast food places could be a fake/cheap cinnamon and that's what he's reacting to. I don't have the recipe for the korma but looked up some online and think cinnamon may be in that too. Would love some feedback if anyone has experienced this before or knows more about fake vs real cinnamon.
Thanks so much.

2024.06.11 07:25 KS1616 Am I over overreacting by thinking it’s weird my friends mom wanted to change my babys diaper? (Little bit of TW)

Hey I’m a ftm with a baby girl who’s 7 weeks. I’m only 19 still learning to set boundaries with older women around my baby, especially since a lot of time im treated like a kid still not a mom and I’ve noticed I can get pushed around quite a bit for my age. Anyways to the story, I was visiting my friend, introducing my baby to her and her family. I had sat the car seat down with my baby and her mom without even asking pulled my baby out of her car seat then started kissing her all over. I politely asked her stop kissing her because of rsv, colds, and sicknesses in general. She then in response said “don’t worry I’m not sick” then continued to kiss her head. I asked her again to stop and I would like my baby back. She ignored me completely then passed my baby to her son, which I find him a little weird, and without asking me if he could even hold her. I didn’t even know what to say and found the whole situation completely not okay. I tried letting it go in the moment but when she grabbed my baby back she started going through my purse grabbing a diaper and wipes, unbuttoning my babys onesie. This is when I completely stopped it and said I can change her diaper and she doesn’t need to. (I experienced sexual abuse as a toddler through diaper changes.) she said “I haven’t changed a diaper in years, you don’t got to worry about it you do it all the time.” I had to repeat myself like 5 times to hand my baby over and I don’t feel comfy with anyone changing her but me or my bf. What I found the weirdest was she said I could do it in the living room but I didnt feel comfy with anyone seeing her privates to I went to the corner of the room my back to everyone and changed her. Right after that I left and talked to my friend that next time I come over I will be setting boundaries with her. I feel like a bad mom for letting my daughter be exposed to possible sickness and not standing up for her. I’ve learned what it feels like to be disrespected completely over my own child. My dad told me I’m overreacting over the situation and that part of having a baby is to let other people enjoy the baby to. I really feel like I’m not overreacting and that these are basic things people should respect and who wants to change someone else’s babys diaper I find it so weird.

The Owl House Fanchild: Katey
https://preview.redd.it/11g4y9hpjv5d1.jpg?width=4030&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=220b3f9b9a4e0bff37991d97a4db3f6fe5ba23fb
And here is a child coming from two of the best side characters in the show in my humble opinion.
There is Steve, an enthusiastic Coven Scout who started off a as a bit character but became surprisingly popular among fans to the point of becoming a full-fledged character in his own right. He is a warm friendly guy who secretly dislikes what his job demands of him and eventually makes quits to join the heroes. What is there not to love about Steve?
And there is also Katya. Poor Girl got done dirty. She just wanted to write fanfics and she got locked up for it. And then she finally makes a reappearance only to get thrown back in prison again. Wish we got to see more of her. Also I am not the only one who finds her gorgeous?
Anyways Steve used to have a crush on Lilith only to find out she was Ace in which he decided to move on. Steve and Katya would bond after working closely together as part of the rebellion with Steve being enraptured by Katya's fanfics on food. It was only after the epilogue that they would finally be able to act on each other feelings towards each other.
So Katey is born and she is a huge bundle of joy like her two parents. She has a habit of speaking in third-person like Steve, enjoys writing fanfics like her mother, loves listening to and playing music, and is a huge animal lover. She even adopted a Skin Badger that she named Doug which she adores.
Eventually, she would meet Manuel, Luz and Amity's son, in which they both would get along well for being energetic bundles of joy who are proud of their weirdness. She has been helping him in writing a crossover story involving The Good Witch Azura and Cosmic Frontiers.
So her magic is Bard, Beastkeeping, and Construction.
She is a pretty good Bard like her mother. It is not like she was naturally talented in it but she was quite dedicated and practiced a lot on it. Her instrument of choice is the Xylophone in which she carries her instrument on her back which are wooden bars that she floats in front of her to hit with her with her mallets.
She has also taken up Beastkeeping where she tames and summons animals. Not only does she has a Skin Badger named Doug. She also has an entire colony of spiders that she cares for and is ready to help at her beck and call.
And there is also Construction in which she likes building towers and barriers out of stone. She actually shows some passion for architecture.

2024.06.11 07:22 Sendpiecks depression/isolation destroyed my ability to socialize. idk how to bounce back.

i’m not going to delve into many specifics, because otherwise this post would be WAY too long, but for the past two years i’ve been dealing with some of the worst depression of my life. i’ve always been pretty depressed, but bipolar depression kicked in at 18 real hard. i literally was burnt out and still trying to function. it wore me down and eventually, i couldn’t mask it anymore. i ended up dropping out at 19 because i failed pretty much all my classes in one semester.
failing college triggered my depression in a way i had never felt. there were moments where i felt like my heart would give out due to the bleakness i felt. i spent may 2023-january 2024 just at home all of the time. i became a hermit. i was in almost a vegetative state, only leaving my room to grab something to eat. my parents disliked me for ruining my college career and they didn’t know what to do with me.
when january hit, my mom pushed me to go to community college. it was either that or working. i chose community college. that shit was what ended up making me FINALLY go to outpatient therapy. it was my first time socializing with people regularly, some of them being old friends in high school, and it was painful realizing just how awkward i’ve become.
i have completely forgotten how to conversate with people. it was rough seeing my friends realize how different i’ve become. depression had completely stole my identity.
outpatient saved my life, but only improved my social skills by a little. i made friends at program, but program isn’t the same as real life.
i’m just struggling real hard and not feeling particularly good. i don’t know how i’ll ever be able to bounce back or just ever feel good about socializing. i’m scared i’m too far gone. every conversation just fills me with anxiety because it’s like “oh yay, time to fabricate an entire personality!” and i put on a performance that always fucking sucks and makes me feel like a boring ass empty husk.
i might edit more tomorrow but i’m going to leave it at that for now. TLDR depression make me have no social skill and I don’t know how I’m ever going to thrive in social aspects ever again 🫲🤠

2024.06.11 07:22 ImEveryTuna After a year on Wegovy

I'm finally stopping.
I think I can say pretty confidently now that it... just didn't work that well for me.
About 6 months in I had lost about 25 pounds, which was great, but I had to lose 60 overall. Then I started to plateau.
Then, after a month of plateau, my mom got cancer.
I don't know if it was stress eating, or that I didn't exercise much for a month (it was crazy finding her a dr and getting chemo started), but I regained almost 10 pounds over the next month.
I'm now about 9 months after that, and a good year+ after starting wegovy, and nearly 1 year on 2.4 mg. I'm only 10 lbs down still from when I started. I've been exercising regularly again and it's clearly just not working anymore for me. All I have is the side effects now, with no weight loss.
The last straw was that I forgot my medicine when I went on vacation recently and tried taking 2.4 mg again after a few weeks off, and I nearly ended up in the emergency room. I threw up over a dozen times in 24 hours, and was so sick even a sip of water would make me vomit, my husband feared for how dehydrated I was becoming.
So, I told my doctor, and he told me to not take it again (obviously) and we have a follow-up visit in two weeks anyways so we'll figure out what to do then.
All in all I'm very disappointed in how this turned out. For so many people this seems to be a miracle drug, and it started off very promising for me, but in the end I got thrown off the bandwagon with a very stressful event in my life and then it just fully never started working again. There's a part of me that feels like if this drug can't even work for me then I don't know what hope I have to ever get my weight under control.
I guess I wanted to share this because all of the positive stories on this subreddit make me feel really alone sometimes, like I'm a unique failure. I hope that's not true, but who knows.
I'm going to go to the gym now, like I do every day, and just keep taking it one day at a time.

🔗Lightweight Drop Point Knife with OD Green G10 Handles


https://preview.redd.it/u9lgohcgnv5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f479afcad73dab57d6e418cde0c5c3a1096a8dcb
I recently tried the Benchmade 15600-01 Raghorn knife while on a camping trip, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer. The blade style, drop point, glided through various tasks with ease. Plus, the CPM S30V blade steel is top-notch in terms of durability, making it perfect for my outdoor adventures.
The knife is an impressive 101g, lightweight, yet sturdy. Its overall length of 22cm provides the perfect balance between portability and functionality. The OD Green G10 handles looked great and felt comfortable in my hand, making the knife easy to handle during tough situations.
The sheath, made of Boltaron, was a great addition, keeping the knife secure while not in use. However, one downside I noticed was that the knife seemed to be a bit too lightweight. Despite the impressive features, it felt almost too easy to carry and handle, which made me worried about leaving it on a table or forgetting it somewhere.
Overall, the Benchmade 15600-01 Raghorn knife is a fantastic choice for those who need a lightweight, high-quality knife for their outdoor excursions. Though it was a little lightweight for my taste, the blade's performance and the handle's design more than made up for it.

🔗Fox Livri: Stainless Steel Slim Pocket Knife with Carbon Fiber Handle


https://preview.redd.it/mv74ndlgnv5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc087af0e7679dafa06ec217d56d74e0f2095208
The Fox Livri carbon fiber pocket knife is a sleek and stylish addition to your everyday carry. Handcrafted in Italy with top-quality materials, it boasts a blade made of M390 stainless steel, known for its sharpness and hardness. The black carbon fiber handle not only adds a touch of elegance but also ensures strength and durability, weighing just 1.6 ounces.
The knife comes with a leather pouch for convenient storage and even has a steel lin.

🔗Classic Japanese Folding Pocket Knife with Brass Handle and Blue Steel Blade


https://preview.redd.it/y16uo4vgnv5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30f0cd5802156e0fc0f0ef3396978b4bec31b80d
This little Niwaki Blue Steel Higonokami Folding Knife has become a reliable companion on my daily adventures. The unique design harks back to traditional Japanese culture, but it's still efficient for various tasks. The 3-inch Hitachi Blue Steel blade is beautifully hand-forged, exuding an air of artisanship that I really appreciate.
One of my favorite things about this knife is its brass handle. It starts off shiny but over time, it mellows to a beautiful patina. That richness adds character and a hint of the history behind every use. That's something you can't get from a mass-produced item.
However, it is worth mentioning that the knife doesn't have any additional features like a locking mechanism or extras such as a corkscrew or tweezers. It's a no-frills design that's focused on simplicity and efficiency, which might not be for everyone.
But the Niwaki Blue Steel Higonokami Folding Knife has proven to be a great little pocket companion. It's slim, sturdy, and simple - a refreshing change from the gadgets we usually carry around. It holds its edge well and I've used it for everything from opening letters to carving a small piece of wood.
Overall, I've found this knife to be a reliable and aesthetic tool that's perfect for outdoor enthusiasts or anyone seeking a simple yet effective pocket knife. Despite its lack of frills, it's a satisfying tool to own and use.

🔗Slim Pocket Knife for All Adventures


https://preview.redd.it/wupkrndhnv5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4243820cedb905b81ab4aabe3854227463e5ee1
I recently had the chance to test out the Benchmade 317-1 Weekender pocketknife, and let me tell you, it's quite the handy companion. With its slim profile, I found it easily slipped into my pocket, perfect for spontaneous weekend getaways into nature. The multi-blade design is a game-changer when it comes to versatility - you can switch between blades depending on the task at hand, from whittling to opening cold beverages.
The Benchmade Weekender is a true testament to quality, as it boasts a CPM S30V stainless steel finish and has a hardness rating of 58-60 HRC. To my delight, the Weekender stood up to even the roughest conditions I threw at it without any problems. The brown Micarta handle adds a touch of sophistication and offers a comfortable grip.
Of course, no product is perfect, and the Weekender does have its cons. It may be a bit on the heavier side, but I consider that a trade-off for its durability. Additionally, some may find the 2.3mm open length a bit limiting, but I personally find it adequate enough.
In conclusion, the Benchmade 317-1 Weekender is a fantastic addition to any outdoor adventurer's arsenal. Its sleek design, versatility, and high-quality materials make it a standout among its competitors. Give it a try, and I'm sure you'll find it as indispensable as I do.

🔗Classic Folding Hunter Knife, Compact and Convenient Everyday Carry


https://preview.redd.it/nqkh9rlhnv5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8883be80d27a13967096b1b1fdbf56d55a7b1af5
Just like the classic Buck Knives, the 55 Folding Hunter is a great addition to any outdoor enthusiast's collection. The compact design and one-hand opening make it perfect for everyday carry, especially when you're on the go and need to dress small game or work on various outdoor tasks.
Even though it's a smaller version of the legendary 110 Folding Hunter, the 55 still packs a punch with its satin finished high carbon stainless steel clip point blade. The American Walnut handle, brass bolsters and liner, and lockback locking mechanism keep it durable and reliable.
However, one downside I've noticed is the difficulty in closing the knife – it's a tad tougher than expected. On the plus side, the slim profile is a significant bonus; it's easy to carry and forget you even have it, making it a great choice for gentlemen who need a reliable and stylish knife for everyday use.

🔗Traditional Folding Hunter Knife with Macassar Ebony Handle


https://preview.redd.it/izrpny1inv5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58711401d818e87077e1fea1bcd1d7f9834fa6a0
I often find myself reaching for my old trusty Buck Folding Hunter knife when I'm tackling various outdoor projects or camping trips. This durable, time-tested knife boasts a strong locking mechanism that keeps it securely closed when not in use, while also allowing ease of access to the blade when needed. With its classic Macassar Ebony Dymondwood handle, this knife has a stylish yet functional design that never fails to deliver when the situation calls for it.
One of the most notable features of this knife is the smooth opening and closing of the blade. Despite being a foldable knife, it feels secure and solid in my hand, offering me the confidence I need when making precise cuts or tackling more demanding tasks. I also appreciate the high carbon stainless steel clip point blade, which provides exceptional sharpness and long-lasting edge retention.
However, it isn't all sunshine and roses with this knife. One drawback I've encountered is that the packaging for this product can be less than ideal, leading to various issues such as dents and scratches on the knife's housing. I've had to carefully handle and store my Buck Folder Hunter Knife to prevent these issues from occurring, but it's a small price to pay for such a reliable and time-tested tool.
Overall, the Buck Folding Hunter knife has become my go-to tool for a variety of outdoor activities. Though I've encountered the occasional packaging issue, the quality and dependability of the knife itself make it well worth the investment for any enthusiastic outdoorsman.

🔗Boker Traditional Series Jigged Red Bone Razor Jack - High Carbon Steel Pocket Knife


https://preview.redd.it/6zp505iinv5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=943aaf98c858add3c5bb61eeb61cddc89be01879
For gentlemen who appreciate the classic and functional, the Boker Traditional Series Jigged Red Bone Razor Jack is an exceptional addition to their collection. With its traditional design, this pocket knife is a perfect companion for both everyday tasks and outdoor adventures. The high carbon stainless steel blades provide durability while the brass linings and nickel silver bolsters give it a sleek and polished look. The jigged red bone handle scales add to the aesthetic appeal, and the overall length of 5.625 inches allows for easy carry and use.
The Razor Jack model offers a two-hand use experience, making it perfect for those who prefer a traditional handle and feel. The slip joint lock adds to the security of the knife, ensuring that it stays in place when in use.

The blade length and thickness provide the right balance for both performance and portability, making it a reliable tool for any situation.
Overall, this pocket knife is a fantastic addition to the Boker Traditional Series, and it has received positive feedback from users. However, some users have encountered issues with the bone handle cracking, which could be a concern for potential buyers. Despite this potential flaw, the Boker Traditional Series Jigged Red Bone Razor Jack is a worthwhile investment for those who appreciate traditional design, high-quality materials, and a reliable, versatile pocket knife.

🔗Affordable Black Stonewash Pocket Knife from Remington Backwoods


https://preview.redd.it/bkc5c1rinv5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f2810d0e9156b75e5c37b759e5c00392188b815
For my part, I've found the Remington Backwoods Barlow Folder to be quite versatile. It's been a reliable tool in times of need, and it's pretty durable too.
The blade isn't the sharpest, but it does the job well enough. I've had one for quite some time now and I'm still going strong. It's a bit pricey, but for its quality, it's definitely worth the investment.

🔗Premium Barlow Pocket Knife with Satin Finish Blade


https://preview.redd.it/68egym1jnv5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad0ce28d7a4a8483010cb06e0bca3b7863744959
Just recently, I had the chance to try out the Boker 116942 Prime Barlow EDC in my routine daily tasks. Right off the bat, I was drawn in by its classic Barlow design with the distinctive teardrop shape. The black Canvas Micarta handle felt nice and secure in my hand, while the satin-finished N690 blade just had that perfect edge for my everyday needs.
What stood out to me most though was the elongated ricaso lock - it made opening and closing the knife a breeze while still ensuring safety. Overall, I'd say this Boker 116942 Prime Barlow EDC is a worthy addition to my pocket knife collection.

🔗Premium German-Made Pocket Knife with Leopard Damascus Blade


https://preview.redd.it/vgscp4jjnv5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ddf2338bf412317c26a2b455f6e654c5b5eeeb49
The Boker 100501DAM Leopard Barlow is an elegant choice for those who appreciate classic design and superior craftsmanship. With a lightweight slip-joint pocket knife that can handle almost all everyday cutting tasks, this noble collector's edition features a blade made from Leopard-Damascus steel, inspired by the legendary blade steel used in the Leopard main battle tank. The knife's contoured handle, made from Canvas Micarta and desert ironwood, provides a comfortable grip, while the high-quality felt case, certificate of authenticity, and individual serial number add to its charm.
Although the pocket knife's dimensions may be slightly smaller, it's an eminently capable tool.

🔗Bear & Son C137L Small Lockback Gold Pocket Knife


https://preview.redd.it/tyqm5ppjnv5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=384063c15258e5592e36881c4d890ad944807ce1
I recently had the chance to try out the Bear & Son C137L, a small lockback knife with a mirror finish stainless blade and a gold aluminum handle. In my experience, the C137L was a reliable and stylish addition to my daily life, perfect for small tasks and a versatile companion for outdoor adventures.
What I loved about this pocket knife was its compact closure, allowing me to carry it easily without taking up too much space in my pockets. The mirror finish stainless blade was another highlight; not only did it add an elegant touch to the knife's appearance, but it also performed exceptionally well in various cutting tasks.
However, the handle of the Bear & Son C137L, made of yellow aluminum, didn't quite stand out like I hoped it would. It was comfortable to hold, but the gold-toned color didn't offer the same level of sophistication or contrasting appeal that I was expecting.
Overall, the C137L Small Lockback Gold by Bear & Son is a practical and stylish gentleman's pocket knife, ideal for anyone who values durability, compactness, and a touch of class. While it came with some minor drawbacks, I believe the positives of this knife far outweigh any shortcomings.

Not only does it look sleek with its mirror finish stainless clip and pen blades, but it also exudes an air of elegance with its brown jigged bone handle. Made in Italy, this knife is crafted with precision and care.
One aspect that stood out to me was its size, perfect for everyday use without being too bulky. However, I found that the blade wasn't as sharp as I would've liked, but it was still functional for most tasks.

I recently had the chance to try out the Boker Traditional Jigged Brown Bone Razor Jack, and I have to say, it was impressive. The first thing that caught my eye was its classic design and construction. It features nickel silver bolsters, brass linings, and high carbon stainless steel blades - a perfect combination.
The jigged brown bone handle scales gave it an added touch of elegance and made it comfortable to hold. However, one thing to note is that it requires two hands to open and close, which might not be ideal for some users.
Using this pocket knife was a delight. It slid smoothly in and out of my pocket, and the stainless steel blade offered a sharp edge. The edge locking mechanism worked as advertised, and I appreciated the added safety feature.

The Bear & Son Rosewood Stockman is a perfect example of craftsmanship and attention to detail. A friend had one of these in his collection and I couldn't resist the opportunity to check it out up close. When he handed it to me, I was immediately drawn to its smoothness. The Rosewood handle is polished so well, it felt like silk under my fingers.
One thing that stood out was the balance and weight. The contoured handle fits nicely in the hand, feeling secure and comfortable to hold. The large size of the knife was also a plus, providing a decent amount of length and thickness to get the job done.
On the downside, while it's an impressive piece, I did find its size a little cumbersome in certain situations. The knife's large build can be a bit unwieldy for specific tasks. The sharpness right out of the box could have been a little better too, but that's pretty common with most knives these days.
This Bear & Son Rosewood Stockman is not just a knife; it's a true piece of art. Its high carbon stainless steel blade and hollow ground feature offer excellent performance. It might take a bit of getting used to in terms of size, but overall, it's a sturdy and reliable tool to have.

Welcome to our buyer's guide for Gentleman's Pocket Knives. This comprehensive section will provide you with essential information to help you make an informed decision when purchasing the perfect pocket knife. We will discuss various features, considerations, and general advice to ensure you get the best value for your money.

Size and Portability

When shopping for a gentleman's pocket knife, consider the size and portability of the knife. Pocket knives come in various sizes, so it is crucial to find one that suits your needs. A smaller pocket knife is more portable and convenient for everyday use, while a larger knife can be more durable and versatile. Be sure to choose a size that is comfortable for you to carry and use.

Type of Blade

Different pocket knives have different types of blades, each designed for specific purposes. Some common types of blades include clip point, drop point, sheepsfoot, and wharncliffe. A clip point blade is ideal for piercing and detailed work, while a drop point blade offers a versatile and all-purpose design. Sheepsfoot blades are great for slicing, and wharncliffe blades are designed for heavy-duty tasks. Determine the type of blade that best suits your needs and preferences.

Blade Construction

The blade construction of a pocket knife is essential for its durability and performance. High-quality pocket knives typically have high-carbon stainless steel blades or other durable materials like Damascus steel. Look for a knife with a full tang or a tang that extends through the handle, ensuring better balance and durability. A well-constructed blade will maintain its edge longer and provide better overall performance.

Handle Material and Design

The handle of a pocket knife is crucial for comfort and grip. Pocket knives come with various handle materials, including wood, bone, resin, and even metal. Wood and bone handles offer a classic look but may not be the most durable option. Resin and metal handles provide better durability and grip. Consider a handle material that suits your taste and preferences while ensuring comfort and a secure grip.

Locking Mechanism

A reliable locking mechanism is essential for a gentleman's pocket knife to ensure safety when not in use. There are three main types of locking mechanisms: slip joint, frame lock, and liner lock. Slip joint knives have two parts that slide against each other to lock the blade in place. Frame locks use a portion of the handle to lock the blade, while liner locks use a metal liner that extends to lock the blade. Choose a pocket knife with a secure and reliable locking mechanism to ensure safety.

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance and care are essential to ensure the longevity and performance of your gentleman's pocket knife. Always clean the knife after use to prevent rust and corrosion. Dry the knife thoroughly, then apply a small amount of oil or lubricant to the joints and moving parts. Store your pocket knife in a dry, cool place when not in use to prevent rust and maintain its quality.
Choosing the right gentleman's pocket knife requires careful consideration of various factors, including size, blade type, blade construction, handle material, locking mechanism, and maintenance. By carefully evaluating these aspects, you can find a pocket knife that meets your needs, preferences, and requirements, and ensures you always have the perfect tool at your disposal.

Traditional folding knives feature a hinge that joins the blade to the handle.

Are gentleman's pocket knives expensive?

The price of a gentleman's pocket knife can vary greatly depending on the materials used, intricacy of the design, and the brand. Lower-priced options can be found for casual use, but high-quality, handcrafted pocket knives can be quite expensive due to their craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Always check your local laws and regulations before carrying a pocket knife in public.

What is the difference between a gentleman's pocket knife and a hunting knife or a survival knife?

Gentlemen's pocket knives are typically smaller and more elegantly designed, while hunting knives and survival knives are larger and more robust. Pocket knives are generally intended for everyday tasks and are less intimidating in appearance. Hunting and survival knives, on the other hand, are designed for more heavy-duty tasks and may include additional features like a serrated edge or a bottle opener.

2024.06.11 07:20 HomelessRichBoy The mysterious story of John Titor!

If Time Travel to the past were possible, you'd see millions travelers from the future drinking coffee with scientists in our current century and time talking about their experiences and sharing knowledge and tech.
The movies made it seem totally confidential, related to the Govs and totally out of reach but I think this is BS.
Over the last decades we've seen psychos claiming to be time travelers, prophets. Gods, then they were believed to be captured or killed or gone? Yeah. sure!
in our world, there are things that are possible and things that are impossible but human mind can't accept impossible things so they created something like time travel and made movies.
If time travel were possible, we'd be able to have access to time machines the same way we have access to planes, nukes and cars.
BUT
There's a theory called multiple universe and different timelines meaning there are infinite mes in infinite timelines and If I could go back in time, I wouldn't be able to go back to my own timeline and even if I could kill my father when he was a baby, my own father in my own timeline would still be alive. Just like what John Titor and Oliver Williams said on Coast to Coast AM by Noory. Titor claimed that he came from another timeline and met his past self and made a cotact with his mother even his mom felt that it was her son and said "How can't a mom feel her own son!"
The only guy who was able to make a contact with Titor was the physicist and website editor Oliver Williams who first received and saw posts from Titor in the fall of 2002
This theory totally makes sense only if we see more travelers like Titor. "What will the little John Titor be when he grows up? Will he be a soldier and time traveler like you?" Asked Williams. "No, he can be a teacher or an engineer or anything but time traveler and just because I became a time traveler doesn't mean the little John will have to be a soldier like me"Said Titor.
John Titor who first appeared in 2001(some say he may have appeared earlier) was an American soldier who travelled back in time on a mission in 2036 and he wanted to go to the year 1970s for getting ibm ti fight future virus and save the world and according to him, he wasn't the only person who went on a mission. But he stopped in 2001 for some personal reason. Titor disappeared in 2003 and was never heard from!

2024.06.11 07:18 ManySolution4791 Am I wrong for asking for help from my grandma?

my parents had a conflict and my mother keeps making me go with her to our province because my dad apparently "doesn't want us to live with him anymore"
well for me, i would and will go with my mother, just because she knows how to be responsible and be on a budget. well my dad is the same but despite him being good, he has an alocohol addiction and gambling addiction. Despite all that, my father is and was never abusive in any way.
But heres the case, this happened lots of times now, im now 15, and growing up, they both make me pick between them two, everytime they have a really bad conflict. as a child of course i get mixed feelings about it, i love them both very much but i will still go with my mom. This shit started when i was 8, and now im 15, im really fed up with it.
( Just letting you all know that my mother, just brushes it off as a joke when my father is making us stay when she does that, as a child, it is not very funny. )
I woke up at around 8:00 am to them yelling at each other, from what i heard, both of them are in the wrong yet they don't really wanna admit it.
The moment i got out of my room, my mother told me immediately to dress up since we're going to our province (that's where my grandma lives)
But since im really fed up with it, i just used my clothes that's just for wearing inside the house. ( I would usually just dress up clothes that's meant for going out, but i did not)
I decided to act oblivious and ask mother "where are we going, and why is dad not going with us?" I asked her around 4 times, yet she keeps brushing it off.
So i decided to rebel haha
I took the keys that's meant to open my room, so she won't be able to go inside my room. I moved my closet to my door, so she'd have a hard time opening it. And then I texted my grandma to, advice my mom to talk and fix things with dad.
My grandma called my mom, but she keeps avoiding my grandma's calls, but i saw that they texted each other.
My mother was furious that i was "eavesdropping" when they didn't even try to fight somewhere, where them two won't be heard.
My mom hurriedly came knocking to my door, and asked me lots of times open it. I did not open it. She even broke my doorknob haha, but she still cannot enter my room since i was pushing my closet to the door the whole time, so that she can't enter my room.
She texted me that im dead if i go out in my room, and asked me why i told her mother(grandma) that her and dad is having a conflict.
Hahaha it was really scary but, it's about time for them to go talk to each other, and stop making me a shield to their conflict.
Im still pushing my closet, since im very scared to go out hahaha, i still haven't eaten or drank the time i woke up and the moment im writing this.

2024.06.11 07:18 smortimer8099 Exploring opinions Bio Dad meeting

I literally just found this subreddit right now and it’s very interesting to read some of these stories. I’m 43 adopted male. Known I was adopted since being a toddler. I’ve met my birth mother and keep in touch here and there. The story of my bio Dad is he was allegedly around 30 when impregnating my 15 year old Mom. I was born when she was 16. I know his name and could easily track down if he’s still alive. I’m not sure if I should tho. I don’t expect any kind of life altering experience if I meet him, but maybe some curiosity in me. I’ve been married 14 years. My wife was a single mom and I adopted her son who is now 21. We also have a 6 year old daughter together. I don’t hold any ill feelings toward my biological or adoptive parents and consider my adoptive parents the “real” ones. IDK what my actual motives are for maybe wanting to meet him. If being honest I may have some spite in me that just wants him to see I’m a good man and he missed out. Also curious on looks, traits, medical history…etc etc. Anybody with similar situations or advice please share. Thank you very much

2024.06.11 07:18 SuddenBookkeeper4824 Just found how my evil ex-fiancé just gave away the cat he stole from me & I’m in Luteal (Day 25) going ballistic. How do I cope? Help me 😿

Part rant. Part coping/advice post.
My evil millionaire ex fiancé, in addition to stealing my car and leaving me destitute whilst I was pregnant with his child about one year ago, also stole my cat.
In August of last year, I had to go to court and sue him and prove that the cat (my cat’s daughter) was mine. Ultimately, the case was dismissed (it was me versus him, pro se, and I should note this mofo is 22 years my senior) for lack of evidence on my part. I always knew he never really wanted my cat. He did this to spite me.
It was very difficult but I decided to move on because i had already been thru soooo much shit and I just couldn’t take anymore legal drama. I already had mama cat & he did take good care of mama cat and daughter when they were together.
This evening, I found out indirectly that he fucking gave the cat away. I am fuming. He is a millionaire. He is well off. He has no kids. He has two dogs that my baby cat got along with.
I feel like screaming!!! He did this to spite me. Who the F does this?!!
I don’t know his number anymore. He has blocked me on everything. I did message his stepmother, telling her to do the right thing and tell her old ass son to give my cat back, but she won’t respond most likely.
My mother won’t validate my feelings (b/c it’s all too much for her). And this makes me mad too. I’ve never gotten the proper support network to get thru all this.
I have other more important things to worry about than getting back a cat that I loved, and who was stolen from me, and who I accepted would be with my ex-fiancé. But now, 8 months later, he gives her away?!!!! I can’t. I hate the injustice of it all.
I wish I had his number or someone could talk some sense into him. I’m also in pain because no one fought for me after all the abuse and trauma I suffered as a result of this man.
What would you do?
I’m so sad. Mad. And Luteal Day 25 has only heightened my emotions.
Signed, A hopeless woman who just wants some justice and her cat back
Ps plz tell me I have a right to be mad. And angry. I’m so lost right now. Life has been cruel.

2024.06.11 07:14 Ok_Temporary9854 I've buried myself into a hole and I have no idea what to do.

I've only just accepted the fact that I'm severely depressed and have been self sabotaging myself for the last 3 years. I have no idea how to get myself out of this situation, and I need advice on how I can start my life.
For the most bare minimum of context, my father is a meth addict, alcoholic, with a plethora of personality disorders who has threatened to kill me and my family countless times throughout my adolescence, and my moms ex bf (who my mom and I lived with from ages 12-17) was/is abusive. My mom stopped raising me or even treating me as her child once I turned 13 in favor of parenting her bfs kids, I didn't even have a bedroom when we moved into the bf's house, I had a mattress and a tote to keep my things in. I've been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, severe ptsd, and autism (never officially because my therapist at the time and I didn't want the diagnosis to negatively effect me). None of this info is for sympathy, just for you to better understand who I am and what has led to my current depressive episode. When I was 16, my school counselor helped me devised a plan for me to graduate early so I could potentially move out as soon as possible. I wanted to get out of the cycle of abuse that I've lived in for so long, but as soon as I graduated, I lost all motivation for life. Its like I've been on auto pilot for the last 3 years and I don't know what to do. (I graduated when i was 17, I'm now 20.)
I don't have a job, i don't even know how to drive and have no one to teach me, I want to go to college, but I have no money or support system to help me figure out where to start, and I just feel stuck. I make just enough money to buy myself necessities (I sell my art + do freelance), but I make no where near enough to be able to support myself. I'm also in constant pain (migraine that hasn't stopped for about 2 years now, neck/back pain etc) so getting a real job is hell right now, and the fact that I cant drive doesn't help. I don't know what to do, I want to be independent and out of my mother's house so bad but I just feel,, stuck. I feel like I've wasted 3 years of my life rotting and self sabotaging simply because I never thought I would live past the age of 18. I know all of this sounds embarrassing, I'm an adult who should be able to figure this all out for myself, but I have no clue where to start, and I would really appreciate any practical advice on how to start.

2024.06.11 07:12 Living-Army-2614 AITA for ignoring her and being mad

Am I the asshole for not speaking to my friend and ignoring ? My friend and I chose to dorm together, attend the same university, and enroll in the same classes. A few days ago, I received a significant scholarship offer from a different school. I discussed the possibility of transferring with her, but she convinced me to stay, saying it would be easier since we were already settled and that I could switch schools after a semester or a year if I still wanted to. That same night, she talked to her mom, decided to transfer to another school, and applied for a job in that area without telling me directly. I found out through someone else. What frustrates me even more is that she doesn't see anything wrong with her actions. I understand that she has the right to make her own choices, but persuading me to stay only to change her mind is incredibly unfair.am I wrong for being mad and feeling this way?even tho I came up with the idea of switching?

2024.06.11 07:12 Betagamer_06 Adulting in a split parent setting

So I recently turned 18 and am having a hard time figuring out how to juggle family and work and even needed things to becoming an adult (such as driving).
Lemme paint you a picture… and something very sad is going on in something I volunteer for. Due to privacy I will only say what it is. It’s a community theater that I frequent since I love acting. A worker from there who is well known and loved is moving away and I want to see her off. Problem is that it’s cutting into my visit with my dad who lives in an another city about an hour from where I am. AND it’s Father’s Day weekend. Soooooo I’m just torn. I really want to go.
Now lemme move onto something that’s happening later on. Right after the Father’s Day visit I’m gonna be going to work at a family friend’s food trucks he’s going to a fair or smth and I love working especially in this environment. It’s fun, familiar faces and it isn’t very hard on my mental state. Unfortunately once again it cuts into my father’s time. So here’s my thought that I told to my mom. I do this job then skip the next job and spend time with my dad to make up for the time I missed. My mom shut that down completely and said something like “your future boss needs someone dependent to work” or “you need to think about work in general. Do the job and figure out a point where you can visit him”…. DIDNT I LITERALLY JUST DO THAT??? Im gonna work the next fair, skip the next job, spend time with my dad, have a great time and not miss a beat. I told my mom I want to work for him once a month. I’d say that’s perfectly fair… especially when scenarios like this happen. What makes it worse is I’m suffering from multiple mental disabilities (ADHD, ADD, autism spectrum) that it’s making setting up stuff like this very hard. I set up a plan that goes well halfway through then right in the middle shit hits the fan and I have a nervous breakdown cause I didn’t plan for this to happen. I’d give anything to be young again where I didn’t have to do shit like this.

2024.06.11 07:12 Feeling-Ad-2690 Sleep paralysis, shadow figures, and a regrettable yard sale purchase.

Years ago my boyfriend and I both randomly started having sleep paralysis episodes 4-5 nights a week, neither of us had ever experienced them before that. He had the feeling that something was in the room and sometimes that he couldn't breathe, I never did. For some reason with me it was only this overwhelming dread and fear of falling back to sleep. I was awake, I could see the room lit by the TV or nightlight. I could move my eyes but that was it. I could not speak, or scream or reach for my boyfriend to wake me. I would try to will myself to roll off the bed to wake myself but never could. We realized that we both would try to yell for the other to snap us out of it and eventually figured out that although we couldn't speak or yell, we could make this grunting type breath sound that would occasionally work to wake the other so we could help each other out. It always happened to us on the same nights but never at the same time. At the time we were living in a one bedroom so we had a bunk-bed to save space and my son, who was 5 at the time, slept on the top bunk. He started telling us that he would see "shadow people" standing in the room at night. He described them as people who were the shape of Nana and Papa but all dark, no faces. My parents are alive so I took it to mean maybe one was tall and one was short? Idk. It was all so strange. I had no idea that "shadow people" were actually a thing until years later when I heard it on a TV show. My son woke us up crying one night, he told us that one of them pushed his face into his pillow hard that he couldn't breathe. I was clearing out old stuff one day and had a cardboard box of tea cups and other glass decor sitting on the floor about 6 feet away from the ladder on the bunk-bed where my son would climb up. We woke up that night to a "BANG" and him screaming. He was on the floor inches from the box of glass stuff. He was sobbing that something picked him up and threw him off the bed. He couldn't jump from the top, the ceiling was too low, he probably could from the ladder but we'd always wake up when he'd climb down because the whole thing was metal and it would squeak and shake like crazy. After that we started really freaking out because the accumulating events had only started about a month prior and none of it made sense. My boyfriend finally figured it out one day. We had a big plastic 4 shelf unit with tons of board games. Sitting on the top shelf between Clue and Mousetrap was a Ouiji board that I had picked up at a yard sale with a bunch of other board games ABOUT A MONTH EARLIER. I didn't think anything of it at the time, I just bought em all, stuck em on the shelf and forgot all about it. My boyfriend was so pissed. I immediately took it out to the dumpster. After it was gone, neither of us ever had sleep paralysis again and my son never spoke of "shadow people" or had weird stuff happen to him ever again. I never really believed in demons or such things, although I did have a handful of scary, unexplainable things happen to me as kid in the 150 year old house I grew up in. But stuff like Ouiji board never really scared me, although I don't think i ever really used one either. After what happened to us I fully believe that there are "dark" energies or forces or SOMETHING that can attach to things or places, and yeah, a Ouiji board is very cliche for that type of thing....but I'm thinking there's a REASON that it became so cliche, and unfortunately we had to find out the hard way. For the record, the Ouiji board wasn't antique or anything special. It was a Parker Brothers I believe and looked like it was from the 80s or early 90s. It was from a sweet older woman's home who had a bunch of 80s-90s toys in her yard sale. Definitely didn't seem like the home of a Satanist or anything! I can't claim to know if it was a ghost, spirit, demon, or multiple "things". I just know what happened, and that it started after I bought that board into my home and stopped after it was gone. We never used it, I never even opened the box up until the day I threw it out. My scientific mind is still trying to make sense it but deep down I know I never will.

My mom was admitted to the hospital 5 weeks ago where they found a mass on her pancreas that was blocking her bile duct. After a stent was placed they did the biopsy and determined it was cancer. Her care team has been figuring out what order to go in with treatment (surgery or chemo first) and part of that decision making process was doing another endoscopy, which they did today, to get a little bit better look at the tumor and to get more images of it. When they went into try and do the endoscopy, they found the mass had grown and is pushing against her duodenum making it impossible to get a scope down there. If they don’t remove it soon she’ll experience a complete obstruction and have to have another stent. Her main doctor is doing another scan to determine if it has now spread anywhere else or if the mass has just grown. She had labs done about 3 weeks ago which showed her tumor markers as stable and not changing so it was surprising to hear it had grown today. My main question is how fast does this cancer progress? Is it usual for things to change this quickly? Anyone experience a similar progression like what my mom is experiencing? TIA!

2024.06.11 07:11 Damaged-But-Loved AITA for telling the truth about why my MIL did not show up for her close friend's event?

Background: When I first met my MIL, she was a nice lady. She was a hard working single mom that at the time worked for a boss that didn't appreciate her, talked smack about her, and did rude jokes to her face. She would cry her eyes out because of this boss. (They go back a ways because they're from the same country. )
Her close friend, Betty, (fake name) worked at the same building MIL did for YEARS. Their kids grew up together too. Whenever an event was happening a baby shower, christening, wedding, etc, they would be there for each other.
Now over the years I've noticed that MIL....is not a nice lady at all. She would act so differently and so fake with each different friend. She would blow off certain people by saying she's sick and would change up her voice on the phone to make it believable. 🙄
Now to the event. Betty was throwing a baby shower for her DIL. I had gotten an invitation that said my married last name and family. I got ready and took my kids with me to the event because I knew Betty's grandson would be there and is around my 2 older kids age. I didn't expect my husband to go because he was to be resting per doctor's orders for his recent medical issue.
We attended the event and had a great time when I said goodbye to Betty she asked where MIL is. I was supposed to lie and say that she is at home sick. I don't like lying like this cause it's freaking exhausting to me so I told Betty the truth. The truth was that my MIL was hosting a party to celebrate the birthday of her ex boss. The same boss that she would cry about. Betty turned red and was going off like if MIL is doing that then she shouldn't have been complaining about him and this and that. I told her everytime he comes to our house she acts like she's a freaking rich snob to where she wastes hundreds and hundreds of dollars to make the house look more expensive than it is.
MIL may have lost a friend because of me...but at the same time I think MIL had it coming. I'm tired of people not seeing her true colors.
So AITA?

2024.06.11 07:11 Unknowngirliebella Advice?

Recently,My mom tried unaliving me because she thought I raised my hand at her im having second thoughts about the whole situation. This happened 5-27-24 To give some info about what happened my mom had just woken up and went to the restroom and while she was in there I told her I was gonna ask my family member for money to go hangout with friends she had gave good reasons on why I shouldn’t ask the day of which I understand its just out of habit. Afterwards I was supposed to go swimming with her and my other family members but I wanted to weigh out my options so I just thought imma go with my friend instead.Once I tell a family member I will just go eat with my friend my mom she started to yell at me and say “You’re going swimming” and I would rather use my money to go with friends so I told her I don’t need to I wanna hangout with friends. She had then got upset with me one thing led to another (normal mother daughter arguments) then she brings up sending me away to another state and maybe they will put me where I belong (mental hospital) and then I’m like I’m not going I’m 16 gonna be 17 I have a right to say I’m not going and then I had told her I didn’t wanna go with her to where she lives (I don’t live with her) and she had told me who said I wanted to take you who said I was taking you at that which that hurt my feelings but then she said if I wanted to act that way something about how she pays for my phone she takes my phone throws it at me misses and hits the wall. First instinct for me to say is I hate her and I guess I was in the wrong for that but then she was like good I hate you too and then one of my siblings was watching this argument she was crying (she is very sensitive) well then I stand up cause she kept getting in my face saying I can’t do anything I was like I know but I stand up and she takes that as I’m gonna hit her so she grabs me by my shirt and starts twisting it to where I can’t breathe I told her multiple times please I can’t breathe stop and she would tell me “im not choking you” and that had scared my sibling and so she started screaming really loudly and I’m begging her to stop and she wouldn’t and I dug my nails in her hands to get her to stop but it wasn’t until my family members took her off me even then she tried kicking me and once they got her off me she was like that she is calling people so they can take me away and while she is explaining everything that happened I’m out of tears and scared for my life but when she explained it I didn’t think I would have anyone who would believe me including my own family but they told me she was in the wrong but it makes me think what if I chose to go swimming instead of hanging out with friends it is just so unreal to me that happened also just letting yall know authorities are involved already

He took over the sisters house cause multiple fights saying I was crazy when asking him where he was going at 1 am went on up till April whole time leaving at night sometimes not coming home thinks he doesn’t need to get a explanation would start fights on cue at 11 so then he can say he left cause of the fights. In April he got out the car and his phone was unlocked which phone ever out of his site and always on silent when at home. Well looked in it an there was my proof pictures talking about making videos for money I flipped out and said I was leaving he called the cops that day saying I was breaking into the house cause I want on the lease.

2024.06.11 07:10 New_Gur_2985 I can’t stand my nephew

He’s a 6 yrs old spoiled little boy, who’ll do anything for attention. He’s my reminder never to have kids, and the reason why i don’t visit my sister (his mom) very often. Today i went to my sisters house to see my parents cause they were there. An hour later my sister and her son came back home from a soccer match. This little brat enters the house and he looks upset, i could tell that he had just cried. The reason for this had me BAFFLED. He was crying because his mom took some of his fries that she had ordered for him at McDonald’s (she took like 4 fries) what a spoiled little brat… to think that there are kids out there his age STARVING and he’s out here acting like this. I don’t care i get the ick when i see that child even tho my parents judge me for it. My sister spoils her kids so much man and it makes me really feel bad for her as i know it will only get worse if it continues.. i can’t really say anything to her about raising her kids but everytime i go to her place it’s just a reminder to never have kids.

2024.06.11 07:08 Few_Unit_3867 I hate this feeling

It’s been nearly a month and a half since I’ve came back from school. Half of the days I’ve gotten up to go to work, the other half I have spent rotting in bed. I always relapse whenever I come home, I feel like it’s mostly due to my mother. She’s a teenager stuck in the body of a 50 year old woman. My mom has never really been much of a mom to me outside of cooking me meals when I was a child. I’ve always felt like a burden to her and I’ve internalized it over the course of my life. Whatever I do it’s never enough, my successes and the things I do right go unnoticed and I will always be a failure in my mother’s eyes.
I can’t wrap my head around how she doesn’t understand why I’m depressed, why I’ve been like this since my final year of high school. She just can’t get it despite dealing with depression for her entire life. My mom wasn’t a mom to me growing up because she was depressed. I was a glass child and didn’t really ask much of my mother but I have countless memories of my mom being catatonic when I’d try to talk to her. Staring into space until I physically shook her. I constantly felt that I was a burden to her and I still feel that way about myself today.
I’m depressed because I’m lonely. I’m depressed because the vast majority of people in my life have subliminally sent a message that i am worthless and my feelings are a burden to people. Following my parents divorce, my mom became slightly more concerned with my well being. Which has manifested itself in many forms, most notably my mom asking why I’m sad the day after both my friends had died. As if I’d get over it in 24 hours. With both instances she asked what was wrong but not because she’s actually concerned with my wellbeing, she just can’t handle other people showing any semblance of emotion. Every single fucking time I have shown my mother a shred of how I truly feel about event in my life I have been met with “stop crying”. She can’t handle it, even though 99% of the time it’s not directed at her. I just want to be left alone, but she can’t do that. She’s constantly “trying to help me” (pointing out everything in my life she thinks I can do better).
I don’t blame her for the way she has acted though. She and my father immigrated here a year before my oldest sister was born, both of them born to abusive uneducated parents. But both my parents are very educated, they went to college twice. How can both of them have the emotional intelligence of a pebble?
My grandparents and aunt also both immigrated here in May of 2023, my mom has been parenting them more than she parented me or any of my siblings throughout our entire lives, which is very angering. My grandparents and 40 year old aunt have become her priority. It doesn’t help that my grandparents sleep in the family room, if I go downstairs I’m constantly uncomfortable because of the two pairs of eyes watching my every move in a space that I used to be able to relax in. Now I feel uncomfortable even going downstairs to cook myself a meal, making a lot of my days nearly impossible to get started.
My lack of connection of my parents over time became a lack of connection with almost everyone. I have a small group of friends that I went to high school with but asides from them I have no one.
I’m rambling a lot but I just needed to get this out.
