Re: What has become of Bladeforums?
We frequently do that here and one of our most loved members is famous for this. It is part of our humor, here. We even have entire threads devoted to this. No one does this in meaness, however, just in good fun.. I sure hope it's not done to derail what could be productive threads like on DullRust...

Re: Coffee and Tea taste better out of certain mugs
Have you ever noticed that coffee and tea have more flavor and taste better out of some cups than others? I used to think it was my imagination, but I did a side by side comparison with some Hull Ovenproof mugs I got from my grandparents and several modern mugs. The Hull made the coffee taste notic...

Re: What has become of Bladeforums?
There are lots of great folks on there and the amount of collective knowledge on there is amazing. Many seasoned knife makers frequent the site and I have learned a lot on there. I am often critical of the site but the truth is that it is just a few bad apples mostly. If they could just reel those ...

Re: What has become of Bladeforums?
Thank you, Kristi... A bit off topic in the off topic section ;) : But, Messermann, you clearly have a German username. So do you have German, Austrian or swiss origins or even immigrated to the US from one of these countries (I am Austrian myself)? I am fully 50% German Swiss. My Mother emigrated ...

Re: What has become of Bladeforums?
Jim, I’ve mentioned in forums many times: There are many supposedly “poor” kids out there who are running around in designer basketball shoes that cost about as much as or more than a plain-jane Sebenza. Now, whether they or their parents bought them with illicit money or not, who knows? But they’r...

Re: What has become of Bladeforums?
That is the takeaway here. The difference is cultural. Sal and Spyderco set the tone here and we abide by it. The crazy thing is that there is very little official moderation on this forum yet things run smooth and stay civil. Bladeforums is HEAVILY moderated and it is a free for all filled with to...

I was thinking about ordering one up via Amazon until I saw the price. They make Randalls, any Randall, seem cheap in comparison: https://www.amazon.com/Yoshihiro-Heisei ... ast_sto_dp

Re: What has become of Bladeforums?
The problems with BF are the same as with society in general, amplified a bit because it is not face to face interaction. To keep my sanity I just use a targeted approach, get the info I need then exfil, pronto. That's true, but I think there's something particularly broken over at BF, especially a...

Re: What has become of Bladeforums?
I'm curious if anyone else stumbled into BF while searching for a kukri? A good friend of mine has a handful of kukris. He's a knowledgeable individual, so I asked him where to look? He cautiously recommended a company and I went to their website which appears to date from the early 1990's in terms ...

Re: Rush Limbaugh: Dead at age 70
I'll admit that I never really listed to RL all that much. No talk radio, really. But I really appreciated that RL never stopped emphasizing that ultimately he was an entertainer, who became a celebrity. He did not claim to be a "serious journalist" (whatever that means today?) The catch i...

Re: What has become of Bladeforums?
I am sitting here with my mouth agape! Thank you all for this forum and for this specific thread! Talk about a sanity check! I really wondered about BF? There are a number of bullies/punks that just tear into people with complete impunity. Not sure why they aren't filtered out? While there are some ...
