Re: Upping the price.

I'm not an expert in business at all (yet), but I am currently in a year-long mastermind program to help me learn, practice, and gain the necessary knowledge and skills to launch a successful online business, and there is A LOT that goes into it. Almost overwhelming at times ( at least for me at tim...

Re: SALT Liners

Kind of a bummer for me, because a PM2 Salt has been a dream knife to me for quite awhile now, but oh, well. Hey Jim, don't let those scales detour you from your dream knife. There are so many great aftermarket scales that are fantastic. Even just in plain G10. Micarta of course. And AWT has a sing...

Re: SALT Liners

The peel ply is pretty rough on the jeans pocket IMO. Curious as to what other think. There are *very few* new knives anymore that I would actually like to purchase someday in the future. I say "someday," because if I ever do purchase another knife, it won't be anytime soon. The PM2 Salt ...

Re: Forum Update/Maintenance & Move - PLEASE READ

I must be a little slow today, but I can't figure out which option we're supposed to hit to insert a Youtube video. Used to be a small circle with a black arrow pointed towards the right. When I select the option that looks similar now, it says something about invalid bb codes or something along th...

Reptilians Among Us, with Super Soldier Daryl James (The Cryptid Huntress channel) If I had heard this 25+ years ago, I most likely would have thought that such accounts were made up. Since then, my mind has been opened considerably to the possibility (and the probability) that it, and many other, s...

Cool! I was a bit surprised to see it back up so soon. Taz, It appears that all of the youtube videos that were previously embedded in posts are no longer viewable here. I copied a youtube link and posted it here, but it could not be embedded with the media button. I could only post the link in the ...

Impromptu Werewolf Stories (Paranormal Round Table channel) Very interesting livestream with accounts of shapeshifters, in particular, werewolves, but also one supposed Reptilian encounter in an elevator. The first two short encounter stories begin at about 15:15. The main story, an account from a m...

Into the Dojo vs Michiel Mulder (Urban Combatives) IMO, this is definitely one of the very best discussions on YouTube about mindset, intent, and pre-threat cues, as it relates to violence and self-defense. Michiel Mulder has also trained combatives under Lee Morrison, and is the senior instructor o...

Re: Nearly-Forgotten TV Shows, Themes, and Ads

Fantastic Four (1967) YouTube-Friendly Marathon These bring back memories. I literally hadn't seen these episodes since age 4 or 5 (in 1967 or 1968). I'll be turning 61 in a couple of months. My favorite episode was the one about Galactus (which is not included in this marathon), but I remember my s...

Re: Spyderco spotted on Survivor!

It's always fun when spotting a familiar knife model in a TV show or a movie, especially a Spyderco knife. Thanks for sharing. As for Survivor, I personally don't watch it, and haven't actually seen it since maybe the year 2000 or so. But I'm glad that the host (or someone) has good taste in knives....

Re: The Magnacut Paramilitary 2

I wonder if that thin central line in the handle pattern from the clip screw holes to the pivot screw helps to make clipping and unclipping in the pocket a little smoother? Because the clip's contact point does not land on that "Caribbean-like" flat spot in the middle like it does on the C...
