I think that I will just find a computer with the proper plug-ins and watch it there. Thank you for all of the effort. If you can get it onto the tube, I will surely watch it there. Honestly, I could stand to spend a few more hours watching the low level techniques. I'm really enjoying how well you ...

When he's done with the Jess Horn, wanna consider permanently lending it to me?

Oil takes sticky off really well.

those really are nice pictures. it looks about as deadly sharp as it is.

Hi KaliGMan, Is there any way you can put the video on the Tube? I'd like to take a look at it. I really enjoyed the Albo Kali Silat low level techniques because it was a wonderful lesson in confined power generation via synchronized muscle contraction for explosive speed. It also demonstrated that ...

Congrats, that is awesome.

It was great for me. I got to buy two new knives and convince my girlfriend that I wasn't crazy because "everyone is doing it."

I EDC a waved delica, a lava or both depending on where I'm working any given day anyway.

I have both the American and the Chinese model. Both broke, but in different places. The plastic on the American model is too soft to hold threading well, and so the threads got destroyed while replacing the ink cartridge. My chinese one's handles broke as described above. I learned a valuable lesso...

I have the same fiskars hatchet as mentioned above and it is the same as the Gerber, except it has an orange handle. They are produced in the same facilities to the same specs. It is a great tool and has dealt with major abuse. It takes a nice edge and the steel is plenty hard enough to handle some ...

there should be a third option, Emerson waved opening. My pocket does the flicking for me.

I was going to +1 on the lava. It is my edc. I guess what I would recommend depends if you want a slipit or a lock.

Everybody loves osprey until they have to cope them. You know that they have three natural plain-edge spyderhawks and one heavily serrated natural spyderhawk on each foot. Watching them work is always a treat. Do you ever check out the peregrines under the bridges in Portland? Falcons are tons of fu...

Here's how I do it up here in Ketchikan... I do ribs similarly, except I coat in Jim Beam sauce before wrapping in tinfoil. Again, I try to turn it as few times as possible. my recipe is similar if you count Jim Beam as sauce. For salmon, I usually do fillets on a cedar plank with thin lemon slices...

This grind is very popular in modern swords. I have a beautiful Howard Clark wakizashi that has this type of edge. I also enjoy this edge on all of my field axes. I typically have to use a flat stone and a sweeping method for the swords and a strop/stone mix for the knives/axes. If you are grinding ...

If an item is manufactured in one state and shipped to another, it constitutes interstate commerce and federal regulations apply....... Even if you live in Oregon, where state law allows you to purchase and possess balisongs, if the knife travelled in interstate commerce, you could have some federa...

Actually I've carried a Cross Ion pen for years, and recently started switching to a baliyo because the baliyo is an unassuming toy just like the ion was an unassuming pen. I have to say that a trained boxer/karateka can use the baliyo as a devastating force multiplier and fist-pack. I love my baliy...

Sprint Zowada might be worth a look. Quite a few older models would fill that bill, but most are somewhat hard to find. Centofante I and II, Viele I and II, Jess Horn II and Lightweight come to mind. And of course, the Kiwi, my personal favorite narrow Spyderco. Yeah, the Jess Horn stainless is sli...

Thanks Deacon. I'm waiting for KGM to respond, he seems to have the answers on this one.

So where do trainers stand? Officially they don't seem to be a knife because they are unable to cut or divide things. Can I buy one of those if I am not law enforcement? I don't see why I could not, but laws don't always make sense. Also, what if I buy it in Oregon? I was recently at a show here whe...

I went and now I'm back and I'm really happy. There were some great new designs that were covered in the Amsterdam thread. I have to say that I'm most interested in an Ed Schempp design called the Equilibrium. That really is an awesome little knife. I kind of fell in love with it when I first saw it...
