I resolve to read more carefully before Ipost.

Mike, What is the Filipino cross? I've never seen one, and I've been trying to make a smaller device to use to train than a mook Jong
thanks, Joe

I need some help. I have a statistics project coming up in 2 weeks, and I need some raw data that I will have to put into a linear regression or some other model. I want to do it on knives, of course, and I was wondering 2 things. 1)Anybody have any suggestions for what I should do? Hypothesis, what...

What the Gunting will do for you is give you non-cutting options. I love the tool, and carry it everyday. Whenever I carry a regular knife-i.e. Endura (which I love), I feel that I'm missing an option. It's nice to know that I have more options available to me. Where are you? I suggest taking a semi...

Eric- I posted a mini review on BF, somewhere. In addition to the pivot, The new G-10 is way grippier, the ramp and horns are wicked, it's just minor tweaks, but put together, it's a great improvement over the old one. But, I'm just a Guntaholic..lol --Joe CSSDSC.COM Learning Can Be a Painful Experi...

I am apathetic about s30v. It's tough, but I managed to chip it already, and boinked the tip off. really easy to resharpen, and takes a wicked edge. Maybe I'm the wrong kind of person for it. I still love aus-8, if it's done right.

The PM...Who knows? I was really excited about this knife-the design is the ultimate user, but when all of this started, it was supposed to be at least tip up/down, and colored g-10. Black, and tip down only now. What would it cost me to fix the problems-new scales, tapped for tip up?--Joe

WHs are really nice, but at that price, I'd be afraid to use it. Moreover, I need a heartier folder, so they're out..--Joe

I've only hit heavy bags with Mine-little airweight. I wonder about the wisdom of carrying a tool that you will bet your life on and never really testing it to see if it fails..There's a right time and a wrong time to see if you got the bad one in a batch..__Joe

Interesting that this is brought up. I recently chipped out an edge on my s30v Gunting doing what I thought was a routine (maybe a little tough) task, that my aus8 endura would have slept through. However, the chips came out quick with the 204. I don't think that the steel matters so much, but I wou...

do you mean trap or check? You can do a simple drill that helps with this. as you do a #2, your partner checks, and you pak-sao (slap it off) , and try to complete the same motion, he checks again, to your outside, and you reach around (underneath , as if you were to pak sao again, but the checking ...
