I just got a SOG Baton Q2 knife in the mail today. I think this is going to become my new everyday carry, I really like the design.
It is essentially a fixed blade folding knife, which you would think is a contradiction. But the knife blade and handle themselves are fix and its actually the sheath that folds down and away. I never saw a knife like this before. I generally dont like folding knives as they can under certain circumstances fold on you while using them and potentially cause a huge injury. But fixed blade knives tend to be big and not really well suited as an every day carry. This one seems to solve that problem giving you the convenience and size of a foldable knife while still being fixed blade.
Really really impressed with the innovation on this knife considering knives are so rarely innovative.
@freemo Granted, not /hearing/ in my case. But seeing the pattern I'd recognize it.
@trinsec Fair enough. Perhaps I should have been a little less specific with my wording. Though your answer is certainly a unique perspective on this question and a surprising answer honestly. I'd suspect a good portion of people with hearing wouldn't recognize it, so to know it without being able to hear is even more surprising as you'd have less exposure to it I'd imagine. Like if it was in a movie it likely would describe it in that level of detail in the subtitles.
By the way sidenote I often watch shows with subtitles as it isnt always clear what the dialogue says in some places. What I've noticed is the subtitles are generally not very well thought out. they tend to give away details that you wouldnt know from watching it with sound and no subtitles to the point that it can ruin elements of suspense. I often take mental note as to how that is inconsiderate of the deaf when it comes to portraying the artistic intent of a movie, its basically a spoiler for events that are about to happen.
For example I notice a lot of times the captions will give the name of the person speaking if they arent on camera. But often time the movie does it in a way where you arent really suppose to pick up on whose voice yoru hearing, as that is revealed later through context, but the captions ruin that reveal.
My best friend in this world 🐶
he was abused as a puppy until we got him at 8 months old. He was kept in a cage & yelled at so loudly that neighbors could hear it. It also took 3 people to physically stop me when I found this out from handing out my own violent justice to his previous owners.
He's 14 now, & if there's only one thing I could accomplish in this life, it's too make him so loved that he doesn't remember it. That it's a distant memory he can't even recall. Just a bad dream.
