wow it's almost as if putting a handle on your hacksaw instead of gripping the fragile blade between your fingers makes it easier

The article, written by Randall Chaney for "The Armory Life," reviews the Bear & Son Double Clutch IV Out-the-Front (OTF) knife, a product from the Bear OPS division of the Bear & Son Knife company, based in Jacksonville, Alabama. The review highlights the knife's automatic-opening mechanism and evaluates its functionality, detailing the smooth double-action feature where a sliding trigger extends and retracts the blade automatically. Chaney emphasizes the knife’s quality, mentioning its D2 tool steel blade, known for its edge retention and toughness. However, he advises prospective buyers to check local laws regarding ownership and use of automatic knives. The article also provides a hands-on perspective, demonstrating the knife's effectiveness in everyday tasks like cutting paracord and cardboard while appreciating its grip and stainless steel detailing. The review concludes by assessing its user-friendliness for everyday carry and comments on its affordability compared to retail prices. Chaney also compares it to larger models like the Bear & Son American 502D Bowie, underscoring the brand's consistent quality control across different knife models.

5. an angry ghost
Tumblr media
a street racer!ino takuma x f!reader fic
redline masterlist // previous: chapter 4
warnings // 4.8k words. swearing, alcohol, smoking, all characters in college or recently graduated, mentions of guns and bullets, mentions of breaking and entering, mentions of a knife, fake descriptions of a stabbing and blood, insinuations to stalking, anddd lots of ino fluff
the vibes for chapter five
⋆。 ゚☁︎。 ⋆。 ゚☾ ゚。 ⋆ 。 ゚☁︎。 ⋆。 ゚☾ ゚。 ⋆
takuma ino: did u get home ok? lmk when i can see u again :)
suguru smokes 6 consecutive cigarettes before the police arrive.
satoru and kento come shortly after. their tired faces look at you with worry and confusion. you’ve changed into sweatpants now, cradled in your papa’s arms on the steps to the kitchen door as he lets suguru handle the situation. you must look pathetic, letting your papa tightly hold you with dried mascara streaks on your face.
the officers are relentless with their questions but after almost an hour, no one can find where the bullet ended up. on top of this, nothing else in the garage was damaged. it was like an angry and armed ghost had floated through the walls. the strangest part was that neither papa nor suguru heard a single thing last night, not one sound.
a man with a clipboard pesters you about what time you left, where you were, who you were with, the exact minute you returned home. you don’t dare say you were with takuma ino, and the guilt of lying blazes through you the second you say it. you’re relieved when the man’s questions are finished and he does the same with suguru, then papa, satoru, and ken.
your chest aches horribly. the incredible gift your family had worked so hard to obtain had been broken and tainted. the hours they worked, the money they spent, the lessons they taught you have been defaced. you feel helpless, but not for yourself— for them.
the shattered windows and bullet hole are not the worst damage in your opinion. it’s the stolen license plate. the spot just under the hood that once said “CLUTCH” was now empty, whoever had broke in had literally torn it off the car. the bolts are crooked and strained with scraps of the aluminum still wrapped around them. you stare at this empty spot with an emptier mind. the only sound your brain registers is suguru’s muffled, angry voice demanding that the police fingerprint every inch of the silvia.
when the investigation crew arrives with gloved hands and powdered brushes, the boys take you to your room while papa stays in the garage. it’s silent as you crawl under your blankets, their distressed eyes stare you down.
“clutch,” suguru begins softly. “it’s gonna be fine. the cops will find out who broke in.” you only nod.
“we’ll fix your windows as soon as we can,” kento reassures.
“okay…” your voice is hoarse.
“do you think you know who might have done it?” satoru gently asks. “inumaki?”
“no, not him,” you mumble. inumaki and okkotsu were genuinely happy when you won earlier that night. you have a strong intuition that neither of them are capable of doing something so hateful. “i don’t know.”
“i need you to really think about it,” suguru says.
“i don’t know, suguru,” your voice is barely above a whisper, pleading your brother not to continue. you can’t meet any of their eyes. the sun is beginning to rise and you’re utterly exhausted. your heart and mind are too heavy to bear being awake right now to continue processing the situation. “i… i don’t feel safe.”
“i’ll stay with you until you fall asleep,” suguru says.
“what about papa?”
“toru and ken will stay with him in the garage.”
the boys leave and suguru settles in bed with you. it’s silent except for your shaky breathing. he sits up against your pillow with your head resting on his stomach, a protective hand rubbing into your shoulder. you can tell he’s anxious as he stares, lost in thought, at the wall. meanwhile his fingertips twitch, a habit you picked up from him years ago.
your heavy eyelids slowly close when you can’t fight the sleep anymore, repeating the boys’ words to yourself… it will be okay, it will be okay, it will be okay…
✰✰✰✰✰
the police don’t find a single thing. there are no fingerprints left anywhere in or on your car, the paint miraculously just as spotless as it was before. not a speck of dust on the rubber tires from your race was out of place, and the officers don’t seem to care too much about your illegal drifting.
the trajectory of the bullet was calculated and tracked, but never discovered. they believe a gun was fired from roughly 10 feet from the window and the bullet should have went through and into suguru’s car, but it didn’t. it was somewhat of an anomaly that the fatal shot didn’t obliterate your passenger window as well, and there wasn’t even a hint gunpowder left on a fragment of glass.
there are absolutely no signs of breaking and entering. there are no fingerprints on any of the garage doors, no forcible entry. suguru was the last person in the garage before your car was demoralized, and papa’s security camera footage proves that.
eerily enough, there are no blanks in the recordings, no strange movements in the dark were detected, even after countless rewinds from the police. mentally, you’re just relieved that no other car was damaged— the liability papa has over his customers’ cars would have proved an entirely new problem if something had happened to them.
your father and brother don’t want you leaving the house for a few days. which you’re not upset about, except that you’re incredibly unsettled here. it feels like there are eyes on you at all times, raising the hairs on the back of your neck and making your fingertips twitch.
you sleep with your lamp on and the window locked tight, sometimes joining papa or suguru in bed when you’re too unnerved to sleep. if you don’t, they check in on you every few hours throughout the night, silently cracking open the door until they see the shape of your body safely under the moonlight.
every morning and evening begins and ends the same. papa wakes at sunrise and ventures in your room to quietly tell you his plans for the day in your sleepy ear. suguru waits 30 minutes after he hears the creak of your shower turn off before coming in to sit in bed with you. he does this every few hours, every time he leaves and returns to the house. it’s always the same conversation.
“are you feeling okay, clutch?”
“i feel just fine,” you always respond. “don’t worry.”
“you’re anxious. and unhappy.”
“you’re anxious and unhappy,” you retort, thinking about all the empty cigarette boxes you’ve seen in the trash can downstairs. it’s three times as his usual habit, but you won’t pester him about it.
“because i’m worried about you and your safety.”
“i’m safe now.”
“i know,” he’d nod and hug you tightly. he’d always pause for a moment after, preparing himself for the question you hated, but he had to ask. “do you know who—”
“—no, suguru. i have no idea.” and he’d leave.
satoru and kento show their care in different ways. when satoru comes over, he’s bursting in your room and flopping on top of you in bed, making you eat the candies he brought while listening to him talk about nonsensical topics much too loudly. 
kento is extra early to his shifts in the shop, making sure to quietly knock on your door before entering. he listens to you talk about the show you’re watching while you share the breakfast he brought you in bed. and every day when kento clocks out, he makes sure to say goodbye to you first.
your days on “house arrest” are spent moping, worrying, and helping papa and kento in the garage. it’s interesting to watch them work with such ease and precision, always knowing exactly what tools you should hand them or what parts to order to replace the clients’.
they always let you play whatever music you like over the speakers, except when satoru is there. he whines and moans about how terrible your music taste is before you eventually let him have it, and then he’ll just shuffle k-pop music with his tiktok audios obnoxiously playing over it.
takuma texts you all day and every day, saying anything and everything to keep your mind off your silvia. when you first told him about what had happened, he panicked more than you had. it only took 2 days for him to beg to see you again. 
so each night, when papa’s asleep and suguru informs you he won’t be back for hours, you’ll sneak out out of the house and meet takuma just around the corner. he’ll walk with you 4 blocks over to the neighborhood park, where he’s left his car.
he takes you cruising on empty roads, windows open, your favorite music blaring, and your hair tossing wildly. you always end the night with hushed giggles and savory takeout food on the park bench before he walks you back home. it’s only a stolen hour or two, but it leaves you feeling flushed and light when you settle back in your bed.
and, every afternoon since, when you hear suguru’s thunderous car leave with a “be back soon. lmk if you need anything text, takuma parks his car at the same place and sneaks over. he insists that he throws pebbles at your window— even though it’s broad daylight and you know he’s there, just like the teenagers in old movies used to do— before scaling up to your second floor bedroom as quietly as he can.
takuma will lay down with you, holding you tight and close to his chest, whispering and caressing your worries away. the tv stays playing ‘initial d’ to disguise any soft voices that papa might catch through the door when he’s in the house. one day, you’re almost asleep from his gentle scratches on your scalp and steady breathe in your ear when he asks you what’s been on his mind.
“when do you leave me?”
your eyes flutter open, the brown in his irises hold something sorrowful. “leave you?”
“was it selfish of me to ask that?” takuma smiles sheepishly. “i know you have to leave your family, too. i just want to know how much longer i can have you for.”
“no, it’s not selfish…” you’ve been trying not to think about this. “…the end of august.”
“so 2 more months?” his eyes dart away to the tv screen. “uh, i leave next week.”
“what?” you sit up suddenly, your heart oddly pounding. what is he talking about… leaving? going where?
“early start at university, a special engineering class,” he giggles. “did i scare you?”
“yes— wait, so you aren’t leaving?”
“not really. i’ll be 20 minutes away instead of 10. but i can still come see you every day, and i’ll still be at all the races,” he sits up with you. “what if you come see me at my dorm?” he’s got a cheeky grin now, his eyes glitter. it’s addicting, you can’t help but smile back.
“of course i will,” you peck the tip of his nose, making his cheeks turn pink, but he pulls you back in for a real kiss. you can’t help but melt into takuma’s inviting lips as he slips a warm tongue into your mouth. but he pulls away soon after, already flustered and panting.
“are you ever gonna tell your brother about me?”
“w-what?” you’re frankly stunned, looking up at takuma with furrowed brows while he continues to hold your face in his hands. it’s another topic you’ve been trying to avoid.
“i mean, like…” he’s surprised as well, eyes wide and stomach turning at his sudden blurt. “…i don’t know.”
“do you want me to tell him?”
you’re wondering if it’s even worth telling suguru, as much as the guilt echoes through you. you’ll leave takuma behind in 2 months, most likely to never see him again. plus, you haven’t told anyone about your hours of pondering and research behind transferring to college here in japan; but even if it falls through, at the end of the day takuma is just a summer fling.
if you tell suguru now, he’ll hunt takuma down. you’ll probably endure the rest of your summer locked in the house after many, many hours of furious words of disbelief from your brother.
“do you want to?” takuma still doesn’t let go of you, your noses almost touching as he studies you with kind eyes. it’s a serious conversation, but takuma’s gentle tone is keeping your wracking nerves to a minimum. “what will it mean if you do?”
“i’ll definitely never see you again,” you admit, averting your gaze from his. “he’d probably beat the shit out of you.”
“nah, he’d probably shoot me instead,” he chuckles softly, but your face falls. his words remind you of suguru’s past ones, and you quickly remove his hands from your face. takuma blinks, confused, but doesn’t fight your change in body language. he doesn’t dare do anything that might make you uncomfortable, because he secretly daydreams of a day you come to him with as much trust as you do suguru… as much as he knows how ridiculous that thought might be.
“kuma, i need to ask you some things,” you don’t meet his eyes, but keep your hands in his on your lap. he notices all too quickly how your voice begins to shake. “i’ve heard some… stuff… about you.”
“i’ll tell you whatever you want to know,” and you know he’s telling the truth.
“suguru says you were the first in the car scene to get a gun.”
“yeah, that’s probably true,” takuma hopes you can’t hear the erratic pumping of his heart through his chest. this is what he’s been trying not to think about, hoping to avoid any questionings that might drive you away.
he knows it’s pathetic, catching hopeless feeling for you so quickly. it’s like an embarrassing school crush, chasing you around on the playground, willing to do anything for one little interaction.
“and you all got them through megumi-kun and his dad?”
“that’s true, too…” he swallows, a thick wad that barely makes it down his throat. he watches your fingertips twitch in his palms.
“is it true they got your pistols from a yakuza?” god, you hate to be interrogating takuma like this, but you need to know sooner than later. you’re almost sure takuma won’t lie to you, but if his answers are something you can’t come to terms with, you’re not sure what you’ll do. 
takuma doesn’t know that he’s on your mind just as much as you’re on his, craving one more conversation, one more touch each time you’re apart.
“i really don’t know, but i wouldn’t be surprised. toji told us that we needed them to protect ourselves. the scene was getting rough then, there was lots of fighting going on,” takuma bites his lip. “i thought he had a point, and we got them the next time we saw him. i didn’t want to ask questions.”
“okay…” you find the courage to look back up to him. “what about choso?”
“what about him?”
“suguru said he used to be in a motorcycle gang, and that he used to run drugs for toji and the yakuza.”
“is this why your brother doesn’t want me around you?” takuma asks. you don’t want to give him an answer. you just look at him, silently pleading for him to simply respond to your question, and he gets it. “i know choso used to ride bikes, and he still does sometimes. but i don’t know what he did before he came around. his cousin used to ride with us before he quit. i just… don’t know. i don’t know if that’s true.”
“you’ve never asked?”
“no… i didn’t think it was important. his cousin was a good guy, and choso’s always been nice. he’s never caused any trouble.”
“okay, i get it,” you nod. “thank you for telling me.”
“of course, i’d tell you anything,” he whispers. you mindlessly fumble with his fingers, calming his wavering lack of courage.
“kuma, i don’t think i should tell my brother about us seeing each other,” you tell him with regret. you wish so badly you weren’t having this conversation, but it needs to happen. you expect him to get up and leave, but he just smiles at you, dimples and all.
“honestly? i kind of hoping you’d say that. i don’t want to stop seeing you.”
“really?”
“yeah, i mean… if this is just a stupid summer romance thing, then so be it,” he’s suddenly shy and sheepish, voice quieting and eyes darting. “it’ll hurt when you leave, but… i’m having fun now.”
“i feel the same,” you take a breathe. “and what would you say if i told you i want to stay and finish school here?”
“i’d say that you definitely, definitely should.” takuma feels a surge of excitement and tries to push it away. he tries to remind himself that you’re only temporary, even if you end up staying around. the odds of you lingering around him aren’t high, you’ll probably realize he’s not your perfect match no matter how badly he wants to be. he lays back down into your pillows, pulling you with him into his side.
“i haven’t told anyone else, but i’ve been seriously considering it,” you explain. “tokyo is still home to me, and i’m much happier here than i ever am back home— my other home.”
“you should do whatever makes you happiest.” 
you hum as takuma nuzzles his face into the crook of your neck, taking in the sweet smell of your hair and the comfort of your skin on his. his voice in your ear is quiet and bashful as he mutters, “sorry, i’m just… kind of addicted to you.”
“really?” you giggle nervously. “me too…” 
his hands slip just under the hem of your shirt, one of suguru’s old ones, to trace gentle circles over your waist. he makes a mental note to replace your brother’s shirt with his own as you lightly scratch over his toned shoulders. he doesn’t let more than 60 seconds pass without placing a soft kiss somewhere on you.
you stay like this, in the peace of each other’s presence, until suguru’s familiar engine echoes through the neighborhood again. takuma’s quick to get up and kneel over you, caging you to the bed and listening to your sweet laugh as he plants quick, teasing kisses on any and every inch of your face.
he does this every time— always ending with a deep, soft kiss on your lips before he’s disappearing through your window.
✰✰✰✰✰
everyone’s anger and worry fizzles away when your new car windows arrive in the mail. it’s all easy smiles until you start it up for the first time and reach into the center console to grab a new air freshener to hang up— the simplest symbol of a new cycle in a car.
a frown quickly appears when you touch an unfamiliar object. looking down, it’s a black leather sheath protecting an extremely illegal knife. the blade itself must be over 6 inches long. 
suddenly, your mind starts playing an imaginary scene of your own hand digging the blade into a faceless body’s chest, blood pouring over it, so dark it looks like india ink—
“just in case,” you hear suguru mutter. when your head snaps up, he’s the only one looking at you. papa, toru, and ken have their attention elsewhere on picking up the garage after the project. you and your brother just stare at each other for a moment, your expression unsure while his is certain.
without another word, you close the console.
✰✰✰✰✰
“hi, suguru!”
“hey, clutch. having a good time?”
“yeah! we’re just playing cards now.”
“sounds fun. i can’t talk for long, we’re all going out for a drink. are you coming home tonight?”
you look at takuma, who’s holding a hand over yuji’s mouth. the shadows sit on the floor of takuma’s dimly lit, freshly moved in dorm room. yuji’s face is beet red from the liqour, while takuma’s eyes glitter and shine with giddiness. 
megumi has his nose in his phone, choso seems lost in thought somewhere on the ceiling, and todo is already asleep. sticky playing cards, empty bottles, and smeared cigarette ashes lie haphazardly across the table and floor.
“i better spend the night since we’ve drank a little bit… if that’s alright?”
“yeah, of course. just keep me updated.”
“i will. see you tomorrow?”
“see you tomorrow. love you.”
“love you, too.”
✰✰✰✰✰
kento’s pov
for a weekday, the wheel is louder than usual tonight. it’s usually more casual, which is why suguru, satoru and i frequent it most evenings. but tonight there are people we don’t recognize, and more bodies to bump into. members of the local car scene still take up the majority of the space, but there was an odd amount of randoms, much to suguru’s disdain. we were lucky to get our usual bar seats before the crowd.
suguru sits between satoru and i, smoking and chatting with the bartender who’s asking about race times next weekend. satoru sits next to a pretty blonde foreigner, who shoko introduced him to before disappearing to another corner of the bar. luckily, no one comes up to bother me, and i swirl the whiskey in my glass as i people-watch.
i prefer it this way. after spending my day hunched underneath car hoods, fingers caked in oil, mind spinning with plans and figures… it’s nice to savor something strong and disassociate for a while. there’s something oddly enjoyable about silently observing what people are drinking, wearing, and discussing. honestly, the conversations at the wheel aren’t too compelling. it’s usually still about cars, liquor, and sex.
a tall man comes into view in my peripheral. just as a man gets up from his seat at the bar, he takes the spot, perpendicular to us and closest to me. he wears a matte black motorcycle helmet and a sleek leather jacket and gloves. the man catches suguru and satoru’s attention as well, it’s rare to see a biker in a bar ran by drifters. he pulls the helmet off, revealing a mess of unruly pink hair and brash face tattoos.
“a glass of nikka, double neat,” he tells the bartender, voice low and rough. he sheds the leather jacket off to a plain white shirt, showing the thick bands he has tattooed over his arms. there’s something off about him. he glances over to us and bares a wolfish grin. “can i help you?”
“what do ya ride?” satoru asks.
“i have a kawasaki ninja h2 with me tonight,” his eyes flicker between the three of us. i already know that suguru does not like his smug expression.
satoru hums at his answer as the bartender sets his drink down. “but do you drive?”
“no,” he takes a swig. “i have no interest in that shit.”
in the dim lighting of the wheel, the man’s sharp features stick out. the sinewy tendons that lead up to his keen jawline almost make him look ill. the hazy background of the bar and the deep black lines etched across his face make the paleness of his skin almost glow in the dark, and his red irises give me a sense of discomfort. as he sips his whiskey, i realize there is something deeply wrong about this man, although i can’t quite place what it is yet, and it makes my chest tighten.
“you look familiar,” he eyes suguru. “have we met before?”
“nope,” suguru puffs through his cigarette smoke.
“you come to this bar a lot?”
“why?” suguru smirks. “tryna cop a feel?”
the man stares emptily at suguru for a moment, before bursting out with a loud belly laugh. he holds a hand out for suguru to shake. “ryomen.”
“ryomen what?”
“just ryomen.”
it’s suguru’s turn to give him an empty stare, before reaching out and giving the man a firm handshake. “geto.”
“geto what?” he mimes.
“if i see you drive, i’ll tell you.”
ryomen seems oddly satisfied with that answer, until his eyes land on me. “i guess blondie doesn’t talk much, huh?”
don’t piss me off.
“i don’t have anything to say,” i respond as politely as i can.
“well, i hope the next time i find you three here, you do,” ryomen finishes the rest of his whiskey in one gulp, and begins to put his leather jacket back on. he couldn’t have been seated for more than 5 minutes.
“leaving so soon?” satoru rags. his usual bright blue eyes are dark with irritation. suguru still seems indifferent, but we both know better. the stranger’s aura screams at people to stay away from him.
“i have places to be,” he sets some money beneath his empty glass. “someone to see, more like.”
as ryomen walks out the door, suguru puts out his cigarette in the glittering crystal tray in front of him before he opens his mouth to speak.
“i fucking hate that guy.”
✰✰✰✰✰
“i just saw her.”
“is that right?”
“they fixed the windows.”
“well, what are you gonna do about it?”
“i have a few ideas.”
“where is she?”
“same place as your son.”
“heh, what a coincidence.”
“i’ll leave her alone for now, make her feel safe for a while.”
“whatever.”
✰✰✰✰✰
“how did we end up here?”
you giggle at takuma’s question. you don’t quite remember either. a soft blanket from his bed is the only barrier between you and the cement of the dorm’s rooftop. you both sit with your backs against the edge’s raised barrier, sharing a cigarette as you sober up. you’re snuggled into takuma’s side, warm and protected as he holds you tight. “i don’t know, but the stars look so beautiful.”
“how many do you think there are?”
“hmmm,” you pretend to think while he places the cigarette between your fingers. “should we count them and see?”
“absolutely, we should,” his voice is serious. “we can take turns.”
“you must still be drunk, kuma,” you laugh, hot smoke rolling out from your throat. “it’s impossible to count them all, you know that!”
“we could try, though.”
“it would take forever,” you pass the cigarette back.
“i’d still do it for you if you wanted me to.” you crane your head up to look at takuma. he’s already looking down at you. “and i’m not drunk,” he adds, crushing the finished butt against the cement beside him.
“you’re not?”
“not anymore. are you?”
“not anymore.”
with that, and a gentle smile, takuma takes your face in his hands and presses his lips to yours. your eyes flutter closed the same way your stomach tumbles at his touch. you’re practically swallowing the sentiment of his kiss, the passion of it radiating into your bones.
the minty, musty flavor of the tobacco makes you feel warm, enough to start sweating. your thoughts disappear and melt into his skin. you’re on the tip of euphoria when takuma pulls away to catch his breath.
“i’m fucking obsessed with you.”
your heart skips a beat, heat rushes to your cheeks. “i— uh— you are?”
“yes, one hundred percent,” he’s never spoken to you in such a serious tone, there is no playfulness in his words despite his smile. you’re absolutely flustered. you’re hesitant to share your feelings, you don’t know how to tell him you feel the same. 
you’ve thought about takuma nonstop, texted him every day, longed to see him every moment. you crave his touch, his fingertips, his lips. you think about the sound of his laugh, the dimples in his smile, the feeling of his eyes on you. you’ve replayed that night in his backseat over and over again— the wet kisses on your neck, his rough digits in your heat, your slick palm around his—
“it’s only temporary.”
shit. you didn’t mean to say it out loud. it’s something you have to remind yourself about when you feel your stomach churning with butterflies at the thought of takuma. his eyes flicker with something unrecognizable. “i know.”
your face is still in his hands, the heat of them burning into your cheeks. you don’t pull away, but you force your eyes to look away from him. “…sorry.”
“why are you sorry?”
“i didn’t mean to say that, didn’t want to.”
“i’m not upset,” he sheepishly grins. “i think about that all the time, too.”
“really?”
“of course i do,” he nods, the tips of your noses tap together. “but just like we said before… if this is just a dumb summer fling, then so be it.”
“yeah,” you smile. the butterflies float back into your stomach. “so be it.”

my new hobby is covering the entire screen with aluminum powder when im asked to fingerprint something. the accompanying mental image of apollo vigorously applying aluminum powder across the entire handle of a knife is really funny. "polly dont you think thats en-" "I Have To Cover The Entire Print" and then he passes out from blowing too much to clear it all away

Le luxe et l'élégance dans le service de la table ont marché d'un pas égal avec le luxe de la toilette et de l'habillement. Il serait choquant, en effet, de voir des maîtresses de maison vêtues de beaux atours, assises devant une table dressée avec incurie ou négligence. Quand on ne peut posséder des services en argent très-complet, on y supplée en employant des métaux moins coûteux. Ce que l'on recherche avant tout, c'est l'aspect soigné de la table, c'est aussi l'emploi d'objets spéciaux pour chaque usage: servir du thé ou du café dans une théière ou dans une cafetière de porcelaine est une hérésie en matière de confort élégant. On a porté cette recherche dans tous les détails. Pour les fruits à l'eau-de-vie et pour les confitures, on a fabriqué des petites louches microscopiques, cuillères rondes pareilles à celles que l'on emploie pour servir le potage. On a des cuillères à compotes, des pelles à tartes, des cuillères à sucre, à punch, à verre d'eau, etc., et beaucoup d'etc., ainsi que nos abonnées pourront s'en convaincre en examinant la collection d'ustensiles de table que nous plaçons sous leurs yeux. Les numéros du catalogue de la Maison de l'Aluminium accompagnent chaque objet, ce qui abrège les recherches et résout les doutes quant aux prix.
Luxury and elegance in the service of the table have gone hand in hand with the luxury of toilet and clothing. It would indeed be shocking to see hostesses dressed in finery, seated before a table set carelessly or negligently. When one cannot possess very complete silver services, one makes up for it by employing less costly metals. What we are looking for above all is the neat appearance of the table, it is also the use of special objects for each use: serving tea or coffee in a teapot or in a porcelain coffee maker is heresy when it comes to stylish comfort. We carried out this research in all the details. For fruits in eau-de-vie and for jams, small microscopic ladles were made, round spoons similar to those used to serve soup. We have compote spoons, pie scoops, sugar spoons, punch spoons, glass of water spoons, etc., and a lot of etc., as our subscribers will be able to convince themselves of by examining the collection of utensils that we place before their eyes. The catalog numbers of the Maison de l'Aluminium accompany each object, which shortens searches and resolves doubts about prices.

Spiderwebs #4: Diplomacy
Masterlist
content: lab whump, kidnapping, non-consensual drugging, failed escape attempt
· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·
Jackie did not realize the severity of his situation for a while—he blamed it on the bullets—but it did eventually dawn on him that, yes, he was locked in a stranger’s basement. For a reason he still was not privy to. Again, very rude. He could rule out human trafficking, more or less, considering that the unnamed lady wanted him dead. That still left serial killer, hitman, or organ salesman on the list, none of which were much better options. 
He needed to escape. That much was clear. It was what every prisoner did, what every prisoner wanted. It kept his thoughts occupied, in any case. 
There were no windows in the basement. It was cold and somewhat dusty. There was no carpet, only concrete, and the walls were painted a nondescript off-white. There were two doors. One, he assumed, led to a different room. The other, which sat atop a flight of stairs, led out of the basement. The doors were all very fancy. Almost Gothic, dark mahogany under a slight glaze, all very intimidating. Enough about the doors, though. He doubted they were unlocked, and even if they were he’d have trouble opening them in his current position—that is, trussed up like a Christmas goose. 
Sneaking out would be hard, then. He was willing to bargain with his captor. Jackie was smart enough to realize that cooperation would get him farther than blind rage. Blind rage had a time and a place, of course. Preferably when his opponent did not wield an aluminum bat. Until then…
He kept searching. There were a few pieces of furniture—a decaying dresser, the empty frame of a mirror, a wooden chair and table. There was a large, boxy freezer—large enough to store a few bodies, at least—though it was currently unplugged. There was a cardboard box of cleaning supplies, and Jackie could see the handle of a broom sticking out. A lone light hung from the ceiling. He hoped it wouldn’t go out any time soon. Lord knew what he’d keep busy with in a dark room.
Would the police believe him? He wasn’t sure how many people had died at his new captor’s hands, or how many people would die in the future. He had a duty, no? To tell the cops? To guide the hand of justice? Then again, maybe it wasn’t any of his damned business. He’d keep his hands clean of the whole affair and hopefully be a free man before his vacation days ended. He’d stay safe, he’d stay quiet, and he’d forget it ever happened.
There was not much else to contemplate. There was a steady ache in his chest, in his head, and around his wrists. The pain was already becoming familiar, however, fading into white noise along with the buzz of the lights. Jackie nearly fell asleep again when the door opened.
“Hello.” At the door, she wore a cashmere sweater, not a bloody apron. Her hair fell loosely around her neck, scraping her shoulders. She held a glass of water in her right hand, clasped the doorknob in her left. There was nothing violent in her expression, nothing but a soft indifference. “Feeling alright?”
Jackie nearly replied with no, before he realized the gag was still on. He shrugged instead, hoping to appear aloof but reasonable, unhappy but in a diplomatic way.
“Great.” She stepped down the stairs. The sound had an echo to it, and so did her voice. “You must be thirsty. Here.” She set a glass down in front of him, where he sat on the floor.
Jackie tilted his head. He flexed his hands, still bound in the thick rope. The lady nodded and pulled a Swiss Army knife from her pocket. Reaching over his shoulder, she worked at the ropes. Her hair brushed his cheek. Her hands were cold as they grazed against his. 
She pulled the ropes away. Jackie wrung his wrists, then pulled down the chiffon scarf from his mouth. “Thanks.”
She brushed her bangs off her face. “You’re welcome. Now, drink something. We’re going to have a conversation.”
It was an unwavering command. The staccato tone she used made him uneasy. Still, he took the glass. There was no use in starting an argument. 
“I never got your name, did I?” he said.
“Hm.” Her eyes narrowed, only slightly. “You’ll be here for a while. We might as well get to know each other. I’m Heather.”
“That’s a plant, isn’t it? Like lavender?”
“I suppose, but I’m not a botanist.” 
“What are you, then? If you don’t mind me asking?”
She definitely did mind. “Drink that first, then we’ll talk.”
He drank the water, then handed her the empty glass. “You’re not a hitman, are you?”
Heather let out a curt laugh. “No, not at all. I’m a chemist, though I take an interest in biology these days. I’m sure you want to know why I brought you here. Truth be told, I want you dead. I wanted your heart, Jackie.”
He blinked. “Oh.”
“Not in the metaphorical sense. I wanted the literal organ.” Heather stood up straighter and continued. “I needed something to test on, that’s all. I’m sure you wouldn’t mind, right? Your contribution would have helped science immensely. That’s not the problem, in any case. The problem is that I have your heart, and you’re still alive.”
Jackie nodded, slowly, wondering if it was better to call the psychiatrist instead of the police. 
Heather stared down at him, expressionless. “You don’t believe me, do you?”
“No, I believe you. You shot me a few times, I think that proves it.” This was a lie. All things died. Jackie knew that. That raw, bloody thing in the jar wasn’t his heart—he still had a pulse, didn’t he? He was still breathing. There was some other explanation he was too panicked to notice. He’d tell Heather whatever she wanted to hear, though, whatever would help him survive this. “But you do know that murder is illegal, right?”
“No, I thought the police would be thrilled to see my organ collection. Moving on, I have good news and bad news.”
Jackie didn’t like the phrase organ collection. He supposed that a scientist could also be a serial killer. Being a scientist would probably make the work a lot easier, now that he thought about it. He’d bet she had access to all sorts of neat trinkets and tools. What was next, her human leather scrapbook? “Okay, start with the bad news.”
“You’re going to stay here, in my house, for the rest of your life.” She said it with such a candid air. “I’ll provide food, water, whatever you need. New clothes, maybe. You’ll sleep in the basement, of course. That door over there is for the bathroom. The shower is broken, by the way. If you want to use the one upstairs, don’t be afraid to ask.”
“Wow. The bare minimum. You’re an angel.”
She powered on without so much as a glare. “Yes, I know. Regardless, I will say this. Don’t try to escape. I’d rather work with you, not against you, but I’m not afraid of getting my hands dirty.”
Or her closet, apparently. “Why are you keeping me here, again? Remind me.”
“I can’t let you run off to the police after all that, can I? Besides, I need a test subject.”
He scowled. “Why don’t you buy a hamster, then?”
“I’m banned from PetSmart, and hamsters aren’t immortal. That’s the good news, by the way. You’re immortal.” She paused, as if waiting for Jackie to pop a bottle of champagne and start clapping. “You’re a biological miracle, and I’m not letting that slip away.”
Jackie stood up to face her properly. “Listen, this all sounds great, but I’ve got other plans on my calendar. Let me go now and I won’t say a word to the cops. I won’t say a word to anybody. Deal?”
“You are aware that I’m holding you captive, right? I make the deals, not you.” She glanced away as she spoke, but looked back to study his expression. “Are you starting to feel tired, Jackie?”
He completely ignored her question. “That’s not a deal, that’s a decision. I say we make a deal. I can give you money? I can let you shoot me a few times, if that’s what you want?”
“That would be highly unprofessional. I’d need to shoot you more than just a few times to confirm my results. And I’d like to test more than just bullets.” She tilted the glass in her hand. “I’ll start the tests tomorrow. Don't look so worried. It’s not as bad as it sounds. Get some rest. Think it over.”
She stood up and walked over to the door upstairs without so much as a second glance. Bargaining hadn’t worked. Clearly, Heather wasn’t interested in his opinion. He wasn’t a variable in this. His thoughts were casualties, his feelings on the matter collateral damage. He would need to resort to other means. 
He followed her to the base of the stairs, quiet as physically possible, treading around the echo. This physical exertion blurred his vision—he fought to keep it fixed on his target. 
As soon as the door opened, he ran up the steps and lunged. 
He shoved her to the ground with as much force as he could gather. There was a short gasping sound as the air was pushed out of her lungs. When she reached for the Swiss knife, he grabbed her wrist and kept it from moving. 
Heather… wasn’t fighting back. She was just watching him, observing him. He felt as though the test had already started. No matter, he needed to move quickly. Rats in mazes didn’t stop to ask questions, did they? He needed to disable her somehow. Restrain her. Jackie pinned her wrist to the ground with one hand and reached for the knife in her pocket with the other.
He let go, for only a moment, as he felt pain crack in his chest. She’d kicked him. That moment was enough for her to keep going and sock him in the nose. The smell of blood began to bloom inside his skull. He wiped his nose, swung at her, missed. She pushed. He nearly fell down the stairs, but managed to hold on by the sleeve of her sweater.
“Are you feeling tired yet?” Heather smiled, still pinned under him yet oh-so confident. “Vision getting blurry? Movement appears to be uncoordinated? I think dry mouth was a side effect.”
“What the hell are you going on about?” He attempted to stand up. This was a bad idea, it seemed, because he lost balance and fell on top of her. 
He was vaguely aware of how embarrassing this was, vaguely aware of her body under him, but that knowledge wasn’t much help. Every attempt at moving his limbs again was like trying to swim to the bottom of a swimming pool. His thoughts, too, were underwater, distorted by the viscosity of it all. The only thing he could manage was catching his breath.
“I drugged you, Jackie. Or, more specifically, I drugged your water.” She shrugged. “I expected a fight. I wasn’t happy about it, by the way. I was hoping you’d be a little more sensible.”
“And stay in your basement?” he managed to snap back, though it took a hot minute to form the words. “I’m not going to...“
“Come on, Jack.” She was grinning now. “Get up. Fight me. The door’s right there. Your last chance at leaving.”
“Not my last chance,” he hissed. With a heave, he lifted himself off the floor. “You can’t stop me.”
She pushed him away like a ragdoll. His head slammed on the hard surface of the railing. “Get up and fight, then. Go on. Just stand up. It’s not so hard, is it? It’s only a mild sedative. You can do it.”
He looked up at her. There was a certain glow around her silhouette as she stood against the sunlight, a certain blur around her features. The sunlight! He could run. He could make it. He could go home. This little adventure was starting to wear down on him. If only Heather would move out of the way. She was grinning harder now, or maybe it was his mind playing tricks. That was the last thing he saw, that strange apparition, before it all faded.

Thank you! I just finished making it, and it's currently cooling in the pan! I tasted a little from the edge of the saucepan and it's very good!
The Fahrenheit temperature seemed a little odd, but once I converted it to Celsius it came out as a nice round number that was easy to find on my candy thermometer!

that ask about the coelanth cane + me visiting my extended family is making me rethink the design. Bc like. I have my own furnace now and it definitely gets hot enough to melt down brass. plus my cousin has one of those uber long drill press lathe things for boring out riffle barrels. If I give him my walnut dowel blank he can bore it out and I can drop an aluminum pipe down it to add some heft and rigidity. add a brass foot+ a rubber pad and a slightly modified version of the spikes already on my cane and it would be both all terrain And the ultimate 'fuck off' stick.
And then that's getting me thinking, if I'm already boring out the length. why not make a few cuts, add and some threads +decorative rings to have compartments. Unscrew the handle to find the little metal key chain thing for my emergency meds, unscrew just below that to find the jelly beans, and unscrew below that for the knife.
because while I am a big proponent of canes being used as blunt force weapons, Literally all canes will crack bones with minimal strength due to how the length multiplies the force put into the swing, there is nothing sexier than a cane knife.

What is a Jagdkommando Knife?
Tumblr media
When it comes to knives, there are numerous options to choose from, each with its own unique features and purposes. One such knife that has garnered a lot of attention in recent years is the Jagdkommando knife. The Jagdkommando knife is a type of combat knife that is both aesthetically pleasing and functionally sound. In this article, we will take a closer look at what exactly a Jagdkommando knife is, how it is made, and what makes it so special.
The History of the Jagdkommando Knife
The Jagdkommando knife was first introduced in the 1990s by the Austrian Special Forces unit known as the Jagdkommando. The knife was designed by a man named Dietmar Pohl, who was commissioned by the Jagdkommando unit to create a knife that would be both highly functional and aesthetically pleasing. The end result was the Jagdkommando knife, a unique and innovative combat knife that quickly gained popularity among knife enthusiasts around the world.
The Design of the Jagdkommando Knife
The Jagdkommando knife is a highly distinctive knife, with a design that sets it apart from other combat knives on the market. The knife is made up of three main parts: the blade, the handle, and the sheath.
The Blade
The blade of the Jagdkommando knife is perhaps its most unique feature. The blade is made up of three separate twisted sections that form a spiral shape. The blade is made from high-quality stainless steel, which makes it both strong and durable. The twisted design of the blade also serves a practical purpose, as it allows the knife to be used for a variety of different tasks, including cutting, slicing, and piercing.
The Handle
The handle of the Jagdkommando knife is made from aircraft-grade aluminum, which makes it both lightweight and durable. The handle is designed to provide a comfortable and secure grip, even in wet or slippery conditions. The handle is also ergonomically designed, which means that it fits comfortably in the hand and reduces the risk of hand fatigue during use.
The Sheath
The sheath of the Jagdkommando knife is made from high-quality leather, which is both durable and stylish. The sheath is designed to hold the knife securely in place when not in use, and it also provides easy access to the knife when it is needed.
The Manufacturing Process
The Jagdkommando knife is manufactured using a combination of traditional and modern techniques. The blade is made using a process known as differential hardening, which involves heating and cooling the blade to create a hardened edge and a flexible spine. The handle is made using a process known as CNC machining, which involves using computer-controlled machines to shape and mold the handle into its final form. The sheath is made using traditional leatherworking techniques, which involve cutting, stitching, and shaping the leather to create a functional and stylish sheath.
The Uses of a Jagdkommando Knife
The Jagdkommando knife is a highly versatile knife that can be used for a variety of different tasks. It is particularly useful for outdoor activities such as hunting, camping, and hiking, as well as for self-defense and combat situations. Due to its unique design, the Jagdkommando knife is also a popular choice among collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate its aesthetic appeal and innovative features.
Pros and Cons of a Jagdkommando Knife
Like any knife, the Jagdkommando knife has its pros and cons. Some of the advantages of this knife include its unique and aesthetically pleasing design, its versatility, and its durability. The twisted blade design of the Jagdkommando knife also makes it highly effective for piercing and thrusting, which can be useful in certain combat situations.
However, some of the drawbacks of this knife include its high price tag, which may make it inaccessible to some consumers, as well as its weight, which can make it less comfortable to carry for extended periods of time. Additionally, the twisted blade design can make it more difficult to sharpen than other knives, which may be a concern for some users.
How to Choose the Right Jagdkommando Knife
If you are interested in purchasing a Jagdkommando knife, there are a few factors to consider in order to choose the right one for your needs. First, consider the intended use of the knife. If you plan to use the knife primarily for outdoor activities, a larger and more durable model may be the best choice. If you are looking for a knife for self-defense purposes, a smaller and more lightweight model may be more appropriate.
You should also consider your budget, as Jagdkommando knives can vary in price depending on the model and manufacturer. Additionally, be sure to choose a reputable manufacturer with a track record of producing high-quality knives that are both functional and durable.
Maintenance and Care of a Jagdkommando Knife
To ensure that your Jagdkommando knife remains in good condition and lasts for many years, it is important to take proper care of it. This includes regularly cleaning and oiling the blade to prevent rust and corrosion, as well as keeping the knife sharp and honed for optimal performance.
When storing the knife, be sure to keep it in a cool, dry place and avoid exposing it to excessive heat or moisture. Additionally, be sure to follow any specific care instructions provided by the manufacturer to ensure that your knife remains in top condition.
Conclusion
The Jagdkommando knife is a unique and innovative combat knife that has gained popularity among knife enthusiasts and collectors around the world. With its distinctive twisted blade design, durable construction, and versatile uses, the Jagdkommando knife is a great choice for outdoor activities, self-defense, and combat situations.
When choosing a Jagdkommando knife, be sure to consider factors such as the intended use, budget, and manufacturer reputation to ensure that you choose the right knife for your needs. With proper care and maintenance, your Jagdkommando knife can provide years of reliable and effective use.
FAQ
Is the Jagdkommando knife legal to own and carry?

What is the best way to sharpen a Jagdkommando knife?

Are Jagdkommando knives made in other countries besides Austria?
No, the Jagdkommando knife is a trademarked product that is exclusively produced by the Austrian company, Anton Winkler GmbH.
What is the cost of a Jagdkommando knife?
The cost of a Jagdkommando knife can vary depending on the model and manufacturer. On average, these knives can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars. It is important to consider your budget and intended use when choosing a Jagdkommando knife.
