Re: Sharpeners Compared-Your Thoughts

Project Farm is a pretty level headed fellow. His testing is well thought out, but no test is perfect. What you get is a set of individual tests and the results he got. Just like the whetstone vs Sharpmaker users, not everyone gets the same result. There is also the profile factor as well as the bla...

Re: Interested in getting my PPL. Any pilots out there?

I'm interested in watching this topic. I never got a PPL, just spent a few hours in a rented Cessna 172 with a buddy that was licensed. He let me fly the plane, the basics were pretty easy and while I wanted to fly more I decided a pilot needed to be 100% focused and knew that sooner or later I woul...

Re: Top Chilli tips?

A small square of baker's chocolate will smooth out the cumin and improve the taste of chili. A can of Hominy is a great, low octane (gas), substitute for beans. Masa flower, ground corn, is great for the flavor and it will thicken your chili effectively. If you cannot find masa, run a can of hominy...

Re: Overturning of Knife Restrictions

Thanks in no small part to Knife Rights and in particular, Doug Ritter. If you are not a member/supporter please consider joining and supporting their efforts.

Re: Ethnic series - complete listing

It pre-dates the series, but I think of the Spyderco Laguiole/Ramco knife as an ethnic knife.

Re: Spyderco Knives at 2018 SHOT Show with Eric Glesser

The Respect Bowie knife looks fantastic! With bolt on scales it could easily be converted to the perfect Bowie with a set of coffin scales.

Re: Interesting spalting in tamarind board

I've used spalted tamarind a few times and usually get it from a local hardwood vendor. I'm using it to build jewelry chests and other small items, so it isn't stabilized. It has a tendency to move a lot with humidity levels, so if you are going to use it on something like knife scales, it would be...

Re: Interesting spalting in tamarind board

Interesting, I had never thought of Tamarind wood, I love the goo from Tamarind pods in drinks and as a food condiment. Is the wood pretty dense and has it been stabilized?
