Glow in the dark dye stuff? Borrow a blacklight and see if it lights up?

I'd forgotten about this thread, It was indeed glow in the dark stuff, quite cool in a bottle of water

I bought a £3 "Damascus" knife to round up an order enough to get free shipping, expectations were low but i wasn't expecting it to be this amusing...

Arrr - okay. Now I've seen the 'real thing' I can see what they were aiming for.

Yeah, which seems quite an investment just to add a very squared off squiggle, they could have drawn a picture of a zebra fighting a snake or something.

Just means the CNC rig they attached the laser to is cheap st, or possibly the CAD/CAM package used has the resolution set wrongly.

This Leatherman style tool was €8.80 shipped to me in Germany; what’s that, roughly £7.50?

Anyway, it’s decent quality and should get some use. Fast shipping too.
