Kershaw Knives


As some of you may know, I like knives. I recently played with but have not yet purchased the new Kershaw E.T. knife ( I am waiting for my friend Steve to buy it; he buys all the fancy new knives). E.T. means External Toggle. It is a very interesting knife, not so practical, but still kinda cool.

The E.T. series features Kershaw's new External Toggle. The Toggle enables the user to open or close the blade with one hand, either right or left. With just a little practice it is fast and easy to use. And for extreme blade security, just fold the blade in, engage the E.T. safety, and the blade is secure no matter how or where you carry it. To take advantage of this fact, the E.T. also has a built-in carabiner function that enables you to clip it to a belt loop so the knife is always handy, yet with confidence that the blade can never accidentally deploy. The Sandvik 13C26 stainless steel blade provides durability and edge retention. The anodized aluminum handle makes the knife lightweight and easy to carry. And just because you never know when you're going to need one, the E.T. also includes a convenient bottle opener. Choose from two dramatic looks to suit your style: classic matte black or our "splattered" Urban Camo.

I HIT 42 MPG !!!!!


I usually don't continue the same blog, but I am so happy with my purchase that thought I would give you a little more insight to my ride. I have slightly altered my driving habits and am now getting 42mpg in town in my Camry! I have read where some people get 50 mpg in town so I will continue to try and achieve this. This car truly teaches you to drive a little more conservatively and I must say I am enjoying it. I am also enjoying all the people thinking that I am doing such a great thing for our mother Earth (truth be told I am doing this to save some GREEN - green money) but it's nice to know I am burning less fuel in the process.


They still have a couple left if you want one: www.lascrucestoyota.com
