Fast and Furious is back.
I think this is the sixth one in the series so I can assume someone is
making money on the franchise.
It’s got everything an action film should have: handsome
guys, well proportioned, good-looking women, incredible stunts and of course, cars doing things that would disintegrate your car and kill the driver. And action, non-stop action, constantly
increasing action. Just in case I didn’t get the point across, more action!
I’ll catch the film when it’s delegated to TV. It’s not that I have some intellectual bias
against action films or some inability to suspend disbelief. On the contrary, I’m still worried about the
movie character with the nuclear reactor in his chest and I can’t wait to see
what happens next. It’s just I can’t get
cranked up about any movie where the cars and the stars are indiscernible.

| They're fast and they're furious! How many knives do you see? |
 |
| The knife's shape is unique. It has to be a Spyderco Delica! |
So what’s the knife?
I think it’s a Spyderco C11 stainless steel Delica. It’s a nice knife. VG-10 steel, large thumb hole, saber grind
blade and the stainless steel handle is drilled and tapped for up/down and
left/right carry. Add a partial serration
and you have some powerful cutting ability in a closed package 4.25 inches
long. That's a lot of good reasons to
carry a Delica.
It’s also four and quarter inches of stainless steel that
will jab her in her exposed gut every time she sits down. Which should be a lot. You gotta sit down to drive the car.
She would have been better off with the Emerson
Delica. With Ernie’s wave incorporated into
the blade, she could alternate between:
- Two handed polite opening,
- One handed thumb hole opening
- Waving it open.
The options depend on the scene. Oh, wait that’s character development which
should never interfere with the action.
Oh! I forgot
suspension of disbelief.
