There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda.

Regarding purchases of knives on Massdrop: Because the rule seems unclear, and we have not seen any increase in seizures of knives (including those with flipper tabs) in shipments to Canadian addresses, Massdrop has not suspended the shipping of knives to our Canadian members. Any members who do report a seizure by submitting a help ticket will be refunded the purchase price. This is the policy for now, but we're monitoring it closely and we don't know what the future holds.
