Forever chemicals are just as bad.

If you think you're safe, have your blood tested. 3M and other companies that make these chemicals have polluted the entire planet.

Re: Favorite movie fight scenes

Don't know if Streets of Fire was mentioned. The part in the diner when the punk flips a butterfly knife, has it taken and slapped, given back and told to try it again was classic. That and the fight at the end rivals the fight in They Live, for knock down drag out fights. https://youtu.be/lEOvn2IaL...

Re: ESEE alternative

Have you tried different scales?

Most people say that the factory scales are too big or blocky.

Have you looked at Condor or Muela knives? They both make a bushcraft style of knife.

Re: Is There A Place For The "Rambo" Knife

It started out as a blank of a Camillus Becker BK-9. I found it on ebay after Camillus closed it's doors. I asked/looked for years for someone to finish it. After seeing a post on a gun board. I asked the poster if he was interested. The knife you see is the finished product. He's a machinist by tra...

Re: Is There A Place For The "Rambo" Knife

Comes down to personal preference and what you feel comfortable using. Big knives can be used for chopping or batoning wood. Whereas smaller blades can easily be used for doing any fine work. Are there better tools, yes. Saws and hatchets or axes, if you have room to store or carry them. I keep diff...

Re: Victorinox going bladeless

The article I read was about getting on a plane and not having to deal with TSA.

How's TSA going to look at all the other tools on the SAK? Little to early to stick one in your pocket and play clueless.
