Re: The Harpy, too good to resist....

The Harpy's blade is slightly shorter, and is more robust than the Tasman's.

Re: Ways to "Thief Proof" cars?

Learn to drive a vehicle that has a manual transmission (I believe you folks call it stick shift?). It won’t stop the buggers getting in but will likely stop them taking off in it. Don’t advertise your belongings in your vehicle, hide it or take them out when unattended. A thin sheet of glass is th...

Gas Station Mishaps: Woman's First Pump Adventure

More like a girl than a woman, but still. The fact that she's actually driving on the road is troublesome.

Re: Idea for new knife! Lightweight Yojimbo2

An FRN-handled Yojimbo 2 would also make a great platform for a Yojimbo 2 Salt (in either LC200N or MagnaCut), as I think bi-directional FRN would maintain its "grippiness" over time much better than textured G10 (my Yojimbo 2's handle scales, while still providing enough grip, have gotte...

A Vampire Story (Paranormal Round Table channel) This is quite a good account. Unfortunately, it looks like it's been flagged by YouTube because of the subject matter (a possibly true account of a vampire-like being), even though the story contains no inappropriate content. Otherwise, it would have ...

How Reincarnation Really Works! (What You Need to Know!) (Christina Lopes, DPT, MPH channel) I came across this video randomly while scrolling. This is actually an EXCELLENT video discussing the process and purpose of reincarnation. Much better than I was expecting it would be. I don't think I've se...

"Las Vegas is a Haunted Portal!" (The Black Culdron channel) Interesting stuff. I've only been to Las Vegas 3 times; when I was 6, again at 8, and then for the last time at 15 (in 1978). There really wasn't much for a kid to do in Vegas back then, except playing in the pool, and going to C...

Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread

I may be wrong, but I imagine that with a partially-filled water bottle, the water inside could potentially increase the centrifugal (?) force of the blow, almost (but not quite) like a sap. I think so, but the water sloshing around might also make it slightly more difficult to handle. A full 1L st...

Re: Any Double Bladed Desires?

I wonder if Spyderco ever considered making a linerless, dual-bladed slipjoint folder. Similar to a UKPK. That might be good for places where lock blade knives are restricted, and allows the carrier to have the equivalent of two knives (PE & SE) on them at all times. Maybe each blade could be 2...

Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread

zuludelta, I never thought about a steel water bottle as a weapon before. Good idea for places where 'weapons' may be forbidden but water bottles are not. I may be wrong, but I imagine that with a partially-filled water bottle, the water inside could potentially increase the centrifugal (?) force of...
