Hey guys, I was wondering if you all could help me with something. I’m trying to get my wife to carry an OTF knife as an EDC, but the problem is she has bad thumbs.

The joints in her thumbs make it difficult for her to push or pull things with her thumbs (like an OTF button). I bought her a Benchmade Shootout a while ago (picture for attention, apologies for that), but she almost always keeps it in her purse instead of on her person because she says it’s too hard to open at times.

I used the Google on the internet machine and it said the Microtech Hera II has one of the easiest buttons to push and retract. I’ve got several Microtechs, and “easy” isn’t how I’d describe them.

Has anyone got any ideas? Another suggestion was the Guardian Tactical Recon 35, but I don’t know anything about them.

My wife just sent me these. Please no “wife’s foot” comments/jokes. She just found these in my backyard, behind my 6’ privacy fence. Before you guys ask, I have a little more than an acre, in a suburb north of Dallas about half an hour.

At first I thought coyote, but A) there aren’t any big holes in my fence and B) it looks like the claws retract (which I know could just be shitty impression of the foot into the mud).

I know it’s not our dog because her feet aren’t that big. We don’t have any strays running around my area, and I don’t know of any house cat species with feet that big (but again, don’t really have any strays). I mean is it possible for a coyote to clear a 6’ fence? I know some dogs can, but I’ve never seen a coyote jump that high.

I’ve seen coyotes walking down the main street that passes my house, and bobcats have been spotted in the town next to mine. But I haven’t heard of either actually going into someone’s backyard snooping around. We’ve had rabbits, skunks, opossums, the occasional trash pandas, but nothing like this before.
