"We're working on getting the Google malware warnings resolved. BladeForums.com wasn't hacked, the banner company that we use for third party banner bidding had someone inject virus laden banners into their system."

There was some talk of it prior to today on Bladeforums in a few threads, which tells me it's been happening for a few days now. Personally, I only got the warning through Firefox/ESET NOD32 today when I tried to hop on. Naturally, that led me here and to check the e-mail account I had linked to BF ...

As a life-long Sprint customer, I'm looking forward to the new iphone launch. I don't anticipate any of the data plan pricing issues, since Sprint is one of the few companies that still holds an unlimited data plan (which I have). Also, considering I'll be upgrading from a Crap-Berry the prospect of ...

California is on the crazy side of liberal when it comes to their statutory and case law. In almost EVERY law school class, there was at least five or six instances where a professor would add the caveat "except for California" where general rule of law concepts were involved.

Those exceptions ...

One thing to consider with the Superleaf is the finger choil. While great for gaining greater control, it does encroach on the cutting edge length. Personally, it doesn't bother me much. Just something to consider.

It sounds like this new knife is going to be a user, and one that might endure a ...

For what it's worth, I think the thumb stud is supposed to be more of a blade stop than a functional opening mechanism. Also, isn't it supposed to be a tribute to the designer Butch Vallotton? I could be wrong, but I thought I read that or saw it in a video somewhere.

I got mine last week as well ...

Legislative intent and effect are two different things. 2cha, what you're talking about is a possible side effect of the bill.

I think the intent of the bill is to form some sort of regulatory practice when it comes to the sale of knives. As I said before, there is no real structure in place to ...

I'm fairly certain that there is no age restriction on the purchase of knives here in MA. From what I've observed both in practicing law and in the real world, the age issue comes up more often than not as a "discretionary" issue for the seller. In other words, there is no real government-sponsored ...

It appears that the proposed legislation would require a license to sell knives, not to buy them. In other words, it would require businesses to obtain a license to sell rather than individuals seeking to purchase knives.

Considering how well 20CP has been performing on my Para 2 sprint, I'd love to see a Manix 2 with that steel. Carbon fiber would be a beautiful compliment, imo.

As for the larger Manix 2, that would be something I'd invest in. Such a tough knife in a larger frame would be fantastic!

As one who is new to the forums, I'm certainly not in any position to be deserving or entitled yet. However, if one was made available I would certainly put up the cash for it.

As for a model/type, the less intrusive or distracting the better. In other words, something that already exists with a ...

I think one of the best things you can do is be prepared and don't give in to the hype. I was watching the news earlier and they are really playing this storm up. It's one thing to be aware, but another thing entirely to turn a storm into the apocalypse.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser with a bit of liquid dish soap makes mine look brand new again in a matter of seconds, literally. It even works without soap sometimes.

This works for me. It's cleaned everything from light dirt to heavy staining from use.

Also, if you happen to use a Sonicare toothbrush ...

If I remember correctly, the NYC law does not limit the sale of or ownership but the (concealed) carrying of the knives in question. Meaning a store can legitimately sell the allegedly "contraband" items, the sale of which has no bearing on the customer and his decision to actually carry the knife ...

If you think in terms of availability, the Manix 2 Sprint should receive some priority. Both the Sage 1 and Gayle Bradley are regular production knives, and at least for the foreseeable future aren't being discontinued. The Manix 2 Sprint, on the other hand, is limited production and may soon be ...

Question re Bob Lum Tanto Sprint

Just got the blade in the mail today, and I am very pleased. Came with some smudging on the G-10, but thanks to Mr. Clean and his magic eraser everything is looking just perfect now.

One question I had was about the washers. All of my Spydercos purchased to-date have been equipped with phosphorus ...

One of the worst things you can do as a non-lawyer is to try and interpret the statutory law on your own. Non-lawyers do this all the time, and it leads to inflated expectation and misplaced entitlement. While knowing the statute is helpful, it is in no way conclusive - especially when it is unclear ...

I've lived in the same area for a while now, so I've learned the schedule of all the delivery services that are typically used.

USPS Mailman: Noon-1PM

FedEx: ~3 PM

UPS: Between 4-6 PM, depending on the day of the week.

God help me if I end up moving.
