Re: Sling Shots: No Longer A Kid's Toy

I have picked up slingshot target shooting this past year (though not much lately with the cold weather as it is hard on the rubber bands). I have a couple simple shot frames a Fowler and a brnly slingpop. I'd like to check out a wasp or pocket predator frames too. My next endeavor is building a cat...

Re: Bow River distributor exclusive

I held a bow river for the first time back in August. It felt like something I'd like. Then I saw the price and I have kicked myself for not picking one up sooner. The green with black looks really good even though I usually don't like the coatings. I honestly like the standard handle scale. I shoul...

Re: Wrist Clocks

I was twelve when Phar Mor had the embezzlement/fraud issue where they went bankrupt from misdoings of the CEO. The local Phar Mor had discounts on Casios. I got one and my dad got one. His had a thermometer on it. We went to yellowstone the next summer and dad watch tracked the temp drop as a storm...

Re: 2020 Seconds Sale - BREAKING NEWS

If it going well for Spyderco then good and I am genuinely happy about that but I can’t be the only one having issues. You aren't. I had to remind myself that this is an inventory reduction sale.... I don't like going to liquidation sales or black friday or any other hurry up and find a deal before...

Re: Apparently - Cold Steel Has Been Bought

I looked at the gsm website to see what other stuff they have under the umbrella. Walker makes some nice ear pro. I have a tekmat rolled up around the item it's exploded view breakdown explains. None of the other stuff is up my alley all that much but it's not like steel was sold to Great Value.

Re: Behind the curve with an Ikuchi

I too had an ikuchi blister. It's smooth now though and a bit different than others in the rotation. I enjoy it more everytime I carry it. Same with some others that just became a bit better over time as they either broke in or have become familiar in my hand

https://i.postimg.cc/QCMtw4cX/Bots.gif Glad to hear they're banning any bots trying to purchase. It's disheartening but not surprising in the least to hear about bots being used for this. Also, I really wish twitter wasn't how they were going to announce models but if thats what it takes I guess I'...

Re: 2020 Seconds Sale - BREAKING NEWS

Having been to an actual seconds sale, I know that quite a few of the knives are in pretty rough shape. Since they aren't handpicked, and there are no returns, what steps have been taken to ensure that customers won't be disappointed? Thanks. Check out the videos they have released regarding the on...

Re: Why the hate of Zome?

I wasn't aware of the dying process that goes into them thanks for sharing that. I can appreciate them more and the fact that spyderco is introducing that style and traditional method to a larger audience. Makes me more opened minded to trying something I was not intrigued by at all.

Re: I cleaned some M4 today

I think frog lube is coconut oil based. That's all unconfirmed but what I have found mentioned in multiple places and seems to be the concensus best guess. Frog lube read this and giggles probably. Edci I am unsure. I don't prefer it over frog lube but I'll continue to try it and see if I find a ben...

Re: Which knife for my wife?

In August I took my wife to the sfo. We spent about an hour there with just her looking and she held 3 dozen knives at least. The employee went model by model explaining the uniqui feature of one vs the other. In the end the delica was what she chose. Then she chose a color. If you are close enough ...

This very well may be the year they bring a National Championship home to Spokane.
I'd not be surprised. They have been on the brink for a bit
