Re: Unusual, and/or Paranormal Events

Here’s a fun one:

When my first son was about 3 or 4 we took him to the beach for the first time. On the drive there, while we were still going through the pine forests on the highway, he declared that he wanted to go to the beach with the dump truck!

I had never seen a dump truck on a beach, so ...

Re: Victorinox photo and discussion thread!


Survival Knives:
As you know I get into some neat and sweet conversations with various people. I spoke with a self proclaimed Universal Survival Expert on the internet and I asked him his expert opinion on knives for survival.

He told me all he needs is a lock blade Swiss Army Knife and an Opinel ...

Re: Match made in heaven - K390 Lil Temperance 3 and K390 Leafjumper

Very nice! I have both of these, but couldn’t spring for the K390. Even in VG-10 they perform great, and of course the handles are identical anyway!



I agree that they are very comfortable to use, especially the Lil Temperance. It feels as good as a fixed blade knife handle!👍🏻

Enjoy your knives ...

Sharks? Well, my son seems to be terrified of this Shark! It’s like pulling teeth to get him to use it!

Re: Numbers and letters on blade




It belonged to someone that was/is a member in the Collectors Club.


Hmm…🤔 so that would mean that a knife with this on the blade is previously owned unless you get it as a member of the “Collector’s Club”?


Not always. There are some caveats to the way it works but in short, collectors ...

Numbers and letters on blade

I have been wondering what these numbers and letters mean on some blades that I see for sale? There seems to be no reason for them, and many are offered as new, unused knives. The one pictured below is from the Country Knives website. It is the “113V” by the bug that I am referring to. Thank you ...

Re: What could this be?


I bought it over the phone from the Spyderco Factory Outlet. Yes, it does say “Not made in china” It is a Native 5.
Perhaps I should change my username to “Not a troll”
In my opinion I think and hope it a grind line scratch.


Ahh! Now I see!👍🏻 A bit of ironic humor as suggested above? 😉

This was a favorite toy when I was a kid, my brother had one also. We would swap out the good parts, for the smashed parts, and then crash them into each other.
Reminds me of this one that I had as a kid!
