blade broke before the lock failed imo is questionable:



The video is cute and fun. After all, who doesn't like measuring things and breaking stuff? The only thing that would improve the video is if they had some explosives.

I didn't watch the whole video--once I see some faulty data or ...

SE is always a rougher cut, but cuts through anything, always. I’ve had PE slide over the surface

does it increase the risk of it opening the blade accidentally,

No.

Real Ambidextrous use is also covered no more left and right handed knives really needed but I suppose for lefties thumb placement might be nicer if a lefty version is made.


What left-handers need is a right-handed compression lock, a chunk of material, and a couple hours. These are better than ...

Who is whining about expensive housing?
Lower income young people.

Who owns a disproportionate amount of housing?
Affluent old people.

Why don't affluent old people divest themselves of excess real estate?
Exorbitant capital gains taxes.

Who is in favor of exorbitant capital gains taxes ...

I think the one I saw years ago was a smaller Logan or something, nothing crazy.



Hmmm... there's a small Logan near here that I picked up from an estate. It's just sitting in a shed and I don't think it will ever be used. If I recall correctly, the headstock bearings exhibit some play, but ...

Planning to take off work one day, I got in line at like 3am at an estate sale because they had a lathe in the corner of some small picture online, and I thought I was first in line, but then some old guy, who was truly the first in line with his little box, gets out of his car and comes to talk ...

I'm aiming for the shortest of short lists this year. Ideally zero items.



What are the chances of both of us having exactly the same list? Maybe we're long-lost twins separated at birth.

My three favorite knives are the Military 2 15V, Manix 2 (HW and LW) in 15v, and Stretch 2 XL in PD#1 and ...

It's a great knife regardless of the minor scuff by the thumb ramp which really doesn't affect functionality whatsoever - already fallen in love with it :-)



Good on ya for making a sound decision. Recently I got a Sprint and the liners had wavy grinding at the front. I tried to imagine the ...

I am guessing that you are walking a very fine proprietary legal line if you try to pull that off.
I will be curious to see how some of the legal types on the board respond.



I ain't one of them slick-talking' uptown silk-tie law book thumpers. I'm more the philosophical type, so I'll tell you ...

Is this a big secret? I want to try my hand at custom



If you're going to make things, your first step is to learn to use measuring tools. If you can't measure a blade that's sitting right in front of you, you're going to have a hard time creating whatever it is you have in mind.

internet gossip that K390 in Golden models is not heat treated as hard



Usually I dismiss "internet gossip" unless I know the source. There are a lot of donkeys out there braying for attention. But let's be open minded. Were their contentions supported with data? Did the donkey have a ...

The reviews are mixed. The price per drink is astronomical.



The prices seem a little lower than what one might expect from a world renowned establishment. Nice drinks are expensive. I could only figure out one, and it was $35.

Since we spun totally off topic after the bartender chopped up ...

A lot of folks who come early are retired,



😝 I was just breaking your... uh... pulling your chain, mate. I didn't REALLY think you were doctors and lawyers. Doctors and Lawyers pay full price, but if they DID want to get a discount, they'd send their assistants to stand in line.

I was a ...

Have you guys seen the videos of this bartender?
I question his choice of whiskey, but his skills are incredible.

I definitely spent a fair amount but, still, I don't know if I spent enough to be considered one of the top spenders. Even if I was, I don't know if I deserve anything special for it.



I think we're in agreement on this. Consider the following:

The folks attending the Seconds Sale are the ...

You need to immediately go down to the Emergency Room and
get yourself tested for AIDS, Hepatitis B, and Go-Bloots Disease.

Meals taste just a little bit better when you get to use your fancy knives in their creation. Tonight it was zucchini parmagiana using my own interpretation of a proper Bolognese, accompanied by garlic-butter pasta. That big Spyderco gyuto is great for maintaining straight, parallel, uniform cuts ...

Walter Williams was both bright and eloquent. He understood complicated economic stuff had an ability to explain it in ways that regular folks could understand. I used to read his weekly column, back when newspapers were a thing. Sadly, Williams fell off the perch about five years ago. Luckily, just ...

The cost of living in China would not change if the Yuan was 10/1 or 1/1. It's the export market that is affected by the value. I can buy a completed knife in China for less than I pay for the steel in the US.



I'm going to have to side with fixall on this. Or at least I understand what he's ...
