I just got my PPT from cutleryshoppe.com. This is a wonderfully built knife and it slices veggies quite well for my pot roast! The handles remind me of TOPS knives. Superb design and built like a Abrams tank.

Great looking scales! I wonder if I could do that with my Sage 1?

Great photos! I miss my old serrated dragonfly in ATS 55. Perfect little blade. Unfortunately somebody stole it.

I enjoy carrying my Izula or my TOPS Ferret on my belt. Hopefully my Bark River Pro Scalpel
will arrive tomorrow. Small fixed blades are always at the ready. Hopefully Spyderco has some lined up for production.

Calypso Jr., Sage, and Endura full flat ground.

RAT cutlery RC-3 or Izula. 1095 steel. Holds and edge like no other. Easy to sharpen and the warranty is superb. Other wise use a D-2 or ZDP 189 blade. The best for edge retention, but you will need a bit of your time to resharpen these. A DMT diamond stone works well on hard steels. Or the cheapest...

This is a template you send to your elected officials: [Date] Dear Senator or Representative [insert name]: I am asking for your support to oppose U.S. Customs’ proposal to re-interpret the Switchblade Knife Act of 1958 – Customs proposes to criminalize modern assisted-opening knives by defining the...

Be a boomer. You get great TDYs and more money. I served in Okinawa for 2 years. 961st AACS. Get flight pay.

You should only do this on fixed blades with a hard sheath. You will cut yourself.

If worse came to worse, you can use the bottom of a ceramic coffee cup for a sharpener. Concrete would also work on axe blades, as long as it was wet.

I purchased a Dorcy LED light at Sears for about 25 bucks. About the size of a mini-mag light, but with more girth. Very bright. Batteries last forever. It has a strobe feature as well. You can't beat it. A lot of the Surefire lights eat batteries. This thing takes 3 AAA.

Get a good ceramic rod like a crock stick. Use your finger carefully and get a good feel for the curve. You might want to practice on a cheap knife first, if your hands are unsteady. Once you feel comfortable, use the rod and start from the base and move to the tip. Feel the curve and the bevel. The...

These would be perfectly ideal for khukuris. They are usually made from 5160 steel, which is a great alloy. Leaf springs have been bent and worn, so the carbides are more uniform. Ranger Knives use this steel. Easy to resharpen, doesn't chip, and easy to heat treat as well. You can do it in a your b...

Spyderco should make a something like the Toollogic device. It should have a Swedish firesteel in it, and a water tight compartment to store other goods.

For the money you can't beat a Frost Mora knife. They are tough as **** and easy to resharpen. The carbon steel versions hold an edge longer, but the stainless is great as well. I heard the laminated ones are the best, but I haven't purchased one yet. I own Swedish military model acquired through Am...

Here's to cheating, stealing, fighting and drinking.
If you cheat, may it be a death; if you steal, may it be a heart; if you fight,
may it be for your Brother; and if you drink, may it be with me. :spyder:

I purchased one of these and I was not impressed. The black coating covered the bevel. I had to run a ceramic rod over it to get rid of it and put a decent edge on it. Even after a good edge was applied, it didn't cut well. There were a lot of nicks in it after chopping some elephant ears and other ...
