Sometime back in the '90s, I remember speaking to a former prison guard who related how he had gotten stabbed on the street. I don't remember the city or the state where he had worked as a prison guard. He said that while he was walking on the sidewalk, another guy wearing a hoodie with his hands i...

BHQ is OK I have found better vendors and faster... allot faster. Sniffing and this thread stinks of fish. Nuff said.

How do you mean?

Guerrilla influencers / promoters. I think that's what s/he is referring to.

So I've never thought much about this before, to me a knife is a tool, but today someone got robbed in a crowded parking lot within a block of my house in broad daylight at knife point, as far as I know this type of thing has never happened recently in the small town where I live. It makes me wonde...

I’ve had more trouble with UPS (pronounced oops) and fedex than usps. At work, fedex delivered 360’ of 5” threaded steel casing. About $300/10’ stick. 5 of the pieces had been abused by spearing the ends with a forklift and dragged so much the threaded ends were worn through the threads. We filed a...

As many of you may remember I have told any who will listen to not ship through USPS. Even if it's free it's not worth it I said. Packages marked as delivered and not delivered I said.... So I recently bought a Chief (I paid to send it UPS) arrived with out incident. Then I ordered a Urban LW and W...

These BMFs ...

Yeah, but didn't that Para2 pretty much sell out just as fast? What if you took your batch of knives and only put 100 on your site at a time. You could take 1200 knives and put 100 on each hour on the hour from 8am through 7pm. It would be more work but it may give more folks a chance at one. It di...

All BS aside, I'd *LOVE* an M4 lil Native in jade G10.

when things are limited, aren't they generally limited to 2 per shipping address?

Correct, 2 per household.

I dunno man, I honestly don't see much of a difference. The thumb hole with various ways to open it seems just fine. A "flipper" is better suited for a flipper tab. But whatever floats your boat. If that's how you want to open it, more power to ya. Just doesn't seem very practical. Totall...

If it's not a fixed blade, it's simply not a hard use knife.

This guy gets it.

Also, if it's not a 500 dollar slab of steel & titanium it's not a "hard use" folder.

You could do the same thing with many models. It's kind of awkward though.

Not so sure about that.

Here it is against a legit front flipper:

@sal

By design, or sheer coincidence, it appears the Shaman is a legitimate front flipper.

This is a very good thing:

So, I realized something: with the 4 knives that arrived in the mail today, I have a grand total of 8 knives in my pocket & bag.

BM 551-1702 (pocket)
BM 87 (belt)
BM 51 (bag)
Leatherman Charge (bag)

I think I have a problem.

Anyone that uses any tool more expensive than 5 dollars as a pry bar should not be talked to, or taken seriously. What if the pry bar costs more than $5? :p https://www.homedepot.com/p/Vaughan-5-1-2-in-Mini-Bar-Nail-Puller-222CS/100126526 - $4.97, and will do all sorts of stuff way better than your...

Not in my pocket, in USPS boxes inbound to the office, but I'll have 2 x Paramiltary 2 in 20CV and 2 x Shaman in M4.

Before you ask, no I won't wear all 4 knives at the same time. 1 of each are going in storage.

Beauties. I'm a little worried about the very light colored G10 on the Paramiltary 2, and how it's going to discolor (especially when worn with jeans). I will most likely swap the blade out in a Micarta handled Paramiltary 2.

Correct. The PM2 was released last year, that's why it wasn't on the list.

Maybe it should've been, even as a reissue.

Good Evening Spydermen and Women, Attached is a comment I ran into on a Facebook group earlier today, normally I brush off a little trash talk... but he happened to be talking about my favorite model. The biggest insult of all was referring to the pm2 as "pocket jewelry", the equivalent o...
