I ended up selling my minty BT, but I still have 3 China picks for somewhat similar reasons. The industrial saw blade place in town put a shiny new edge on each one for 8 bucks.
I was making a China/COVID-19 joke, then I realized that trolling Southnarc was probably not good for my health.

I think you are safe....however the guy in the airport abusing the girl who delivered the wrong order to the arrogant asshole was not. I wish I knew where the story was so I could repost it....anybody have the post where @SouthNarc told that story?I was making a China/COVID-19 joke, then I realized that trolling Southnarc was probably not good for my health.
Never mind i found it. https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....ll=1#post85450
I intervened on an incident almost just like this at the Starbucks in the C Councourse in the Atlanta airport last year. Snotty 50s-ish academic type just berating the shit out of a teenage girl who messed up his order of soylattefrappamacchiatohorsesemen. Dude was almost yelling at the little girl who was visibly cowering. So I walked over grabbed him by the lapel and told him that if he uttered one more word from his vile suckhole, that I would break his jaw and rape him. Then I gave him five bucks for his coffee, and told him to fuck off and leave. He did threatening to sue me and call the cops. Pussy....
Not exactly de-escalation or deterence I know, but I get sick of seeing people do this shit without consequences. If bad behavior put more people in casts and on crutches they'd probably think twice before showing their ass.

This knife is one of those feel good stories. It was made by ABS master smith Wally Hayes, up in Canada. When I first contacted him from an ad in Blade or Tactical Knives, I told him that I wanted to purchase a neck knife from him that I could use on and off the job. He had a simple neck knife he was offering at the time...relatively inexpensive but from stainless, not his forged steel.
Anyway, a short time later he gets in touch with me and asks me if I would mind if he just made something up for me. Considering that I had no knives at that juncture from a master smith, I thought I should just say yes, and then keep my trap shut.
A few weeks later I get this knife in the post and I was flabbergasted. I paid what would have been the price of the simple stainless knife and got instead a hand forged and file worked damascus blade from a master smith with a reputation for working with Canadian law enforcement officers and agencies. (Much like Dan Winkler does here on this side of the border. I have his work as well.) He added the traditional Japanese style wrap and ray skin on his own.
Anytime I'd run into Wally at the Guild or Blade Shows it was always a pleasure spending some time with him and telling him how much his kindness meant to me.
There's nothing civil about this war.
That is beautiful. Really awesome.
