It would be nice to see a Catcherman re-release in H1 since it lives around water.

I don't think I paid over $20 for any of these books: Goddard's $50 Knife Shop is the shiznez. You can follow that with his The Wonder of Knifemaking . Bob Terzoula's The Tactical Folding Knife is a pretty detailed pimer for beginning folders. More folder insights from Ron Lake, Frank Centofante, an...

^Wow. How did you get the Spydies those colours? Spyderco did some test runs using vapor deposition coatings of TiN and TiCN on some Workers and Standards a number of years back. I believe it was John Jensen who worked with Spyderco on these. At any rate John had these last three for sale on his we...

I think there's a REASON we forgot the 80's - It was a musical mess IMHO. The big late '60's to '70's bands - Pink Floyd, Led Zep, King Crimson, ELP, etc. were on the their way out - only to be replaced by the likes of Styx , Journey , and Asia , etc. Ouch! If it wasn't for a few innovative groups ...
