Spring assisted opening is wickedly powerful too.

Link please...

Aah, just seen you're in the US, and these would probably be illegal at home (UK).

Never mind

I wonder if I could buy one here (India) and smuggle it home innocently in a suitcase...?

Well, they're cheap enough you could try - currently $30 instead of $65 on amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Smith-Wesson-SWMP4L-Linerloc...

Trouble is, the end looks rather like, well, a Smith & Wesson.

Nope, just tried all my addresses and it appears to no be legal to send to any of them... I will put it on the wishlist for the next time I'm in the States - 30 bucks seems like a bargain! Thanks for the info though, very helpful.

Might work? https://www.bundlebox.com/

Interesting but...

eBay and USPS is an alternative that works.

100 trillion dollars

I got one of those for my better half when she was made redundant. She was somewhat underwhelmed after I'd been telling her all week don't worry this time next week we'll be multi-trillionaires. I thought it was cool though.

A Casio F-91W




Frivolous because I already have a prefectly good Casio A168

Bi-Metal Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date-Just with Diamond Markers.

Absolutely no need for it, it tells the time the same as a £10 Casio ...

But it is sooooo shinyyyy and you only live once.

[chrisxr2]

Pics required of the Rolex to confirm shininess please.

A £600 blu-ray

Is the German steel book much more collectable then?

I was trying to work out why it's £590 more expensive than this:-

Didn't you read his link? It comes with a tattoo!

I now have a Casio A168WA winging it's way to me because of this post. I don't even wear a watch, I view them as superfluous because I have a phone that displays the time on me at almost all times.

I think that counts as frivolous enough.

I have both, the F91 is quite common but the A168 is brilliantly tacky.

It does pull the hairs out of your arm though.

These ARE the knives I want !!

Haha, I have a set in my kitchen

so you'd be able to see the actual name and brand on the knife set so I could perhaps Google them ?

Somehow ended up buying these Japanese knives. Been using them to cut my lunchtime sandwich...

I've been quite tempted by a set of these myself recently.

Yeah I did much the same as you but went for the Sport with black strap. It is pretty cool though!

Closest thing I could find on Amazon Uk

illegal to carry in the UK so I wouldn't bother personally, why own a tool that you can't take anywhere?

In a bid to re-live my youth and take advantage of the masses of outdoor space around me, I've "invested" in this thoroughly frivolous r/c car.
