Meh, just guessing but he likely voted for the people that made those laws. You reap what you sow.

If you're actually worried about your individual rights, you wouldn't be living in NYC.

Re: Gun safety, why do you carry, etc.

People that carry knives are crazy. The only people that carried a knife in public that I know of were the terrorists that cut off the head of the british soldier. The terrorist in Canada that gunned down a soldier and shot up parliament building was actually stopped by the Sgt at Arms when he offer...

I think I will wait for the next MT since I already plan on buying the beautiful new Gayle Bradley fixed blade where I will get to try out this steel in a larger and finished form factor. Perhaps the soon to be released Gayle Bradley has diminished the demand for this MT? The Gayle Bradley fixed bl...

If someone can abuse the system to get six (we know) or nine (we hear) when the limit is two per customer, how on earth would a limit of one per customer change anything at all??? The answer is: it won't. If someone is willing to go to the trouble that requires, you are simply not going to stop the...

Isn't it a little weird to have a mule after the steel has been in use in production already (not that I'm complaining!) Not at all. It's a knife to test the steel itself without spending as much as a production knife would cost. A production fixed blade knife with comparable steel, the Southfork i...

Clampaks? It denies their existence, so watch your fingers. I'd love to see the Nilakka with the original zero flat grind in M-4 with the hardness run up to about Rc64 or so. There's a thread about running M4 at low angles, didn't turn out so well. http://www.spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?6041...

There was a thread on this forum, a sticky at the top even, announcing the exact release date and time, more than a week in advance. This is how to be aware of the mules being released as they are only done through SFO. You can win at life, it's just not going to be handed on a Golden platter.

Sage 4. Titanium bolsters, desert ironwood, and a backlock, one classy little knife. The Chapparal Titanium and Native 5 Titanium would also be nice, but a little pricier.
