Posting for the first time in a while on Twitter. I should be Delica-te.

@AmyPearlman I don’t even know where those sayings come from 😂

I've just posted an awful knife on https://t.co/Ife0rv7cym for charity, testing their system for future giveaways. https://t.co/9Wb8Rhk0R8

@Mattm0812 For now, yes!

Ask the Nick LIVE on YouTube at Noon Pacific/3pm Eastern. Bring questions about gear, the world, or life in general

@tylerwools79 This is a woman of true taste and refinement in ugly gear.

The Seamaster Pro is never a bad choice, even when dirty

[Nick Shabazz @NickShabazz]

FYI. And no, I will NOT review one.

[Nick Shabazz @NickShabazz]

Tomorrow, Saturday 9/7 at 2pm Pacific, terrible things will be unboxed LIVE on YouTube. Be there, or ideally, have much better things to do!

[Nick Shabazz @NickShabazz]

@rjm3_sibernpeng It’s beautifully ground, it absolutely cuts

Freshly arrived home, this wonderful little Swayback from Rainy Day Knives , featuring Fordite scales and Nichols damascus Stainless Damascus. Even on closer inspection, it does not disappoint.

Finally upgraded my review table, now that my wife has moved to a standing desk. Turned out great.

@tjweeks1 I mention the lockup problems directly in the ‘ugly’ section of that review, and none of the ones I’ve handled (four of them!) have had lockstick. No need to jump to corruption :)

It’s one of those days where commenters in old videos are forcing me to repost one of my favorite videos ever: “Dearest Commenters, You are WAY more manly than I am” - https://t.co/taaDM8BeQ7

@holtbladeworks I’m glad he’s more sane than I am!

[Nick Shabazz @NickShabazz]

Yes, I did just spend an hour custom cutting shelf liner for every drawer. No. Not even a bit retentive. Why do you ask? #edc #manjewelery

[Nick Shabazz @NickShabazz]

I’m a gear junkie, but I have other joys. Locksport is lots of fun. The two Abus locks and the “Extra Space” are still beyond my skill. @LockPickingLwyr I am not!

@Metal_Complex Thanks!
