Pretty fly for a Venn diagram

What can we learn from this?

Knives have the most dominant qualities and butter has the least dominant qualities out of these three objects

But butter is the most likely to show up in the name.

Can someone explain the kunai intersection to me?

A throwing ("flying") knife.

Tenuous at best.

“Pretty fly for a kunai”

Ichi ni san yon go go roku

1234556?

(一ニ三四五五六)

The original song goes
Uno dos tres cuatro cinco cinco seis

It's stupid on purpose and makes sense if you listen to the lyrics

Yep, dumbass dorky (often tenuous) references is what I'm all about. Especially when it's Star Trek.

Plus it's a bit of a reference back to my username too.

I thought it was the kun sound kn in knife would make on its own and the ai sound the y in fly makes.

Pretty weak. All the others are great though

I'm not sure either, but when you google "fly knife" the kunai is the top result but the wiki page doesn't mention t at all, maybe because it's stereotypically a throwing (flying) knife?

I came to find the same thing. How does a butcher knife and a fly become a kunai?

That's a chefs knife.

Chef's knives and butcher knives are used interchangeably in my variant of the English language.

I would need to see an infographic on what differentiates them

Based on that infographic, yes, I mean a chefs knife, and I have never owned or held a butchers knife in my life.

Are you a butcher?

Based off the fact that I have never held a butcher's knife in my entire life I would say the answer is no, I am not a butcher of anything other than the English language

Butcher's knives tend to have a wider blade than chef's knives. They have kind of converged in the states, but classically that is the difference.

Intruder alert, Red Spy in in the base!

I am upvoting this because it is very relevant to my interests, and strangely timely.

Is that a BM #42? I almost bought one for 140USD so long ago but I chose not to. I heavily regret it.

Oof. They go for nutso money nowadays; I don't even want to look.

Yeah, it is. I also have a Model 32 (Mini Morpho) and Model 53 (Marlowe). And a dickton of other balisongs of various descriptions. I'll churn through and review them all in detail eventually.

I looked and it’s over 1k for the spring latch… and not available anywhere. Oof ow ouch

I was young and ONE HUNDRED MONEY was a lot to me at the time. I wish I would have bought it :c It’s my grail of a knife.

I’ve only got knockoff mall-stand balis.

I also had the chance for a spyderfly for 120 or so, but I heard it flipped weird. I shouldn’t have listened.

Mood. I still haven't gotten my hands on a Spyderfly. It's like the one major brand balisong I don't have.

I had one of their BaliYo pens for a while, though. It broke surprisingly quickly.

Ughhhh I wish young me knew what things would be like now. I always just thought “when I’m old (25?) and have a decent job I can buy whatever I want!”

That’s true for some things, but I didn’t know that other things would just vanish.

Also I guessed the age wrong, it’s more like 30 lawl.

This should be used to teach venn diagrams

People will still be confused. They'll "understand" but be unable to generalize
