I bought an $8 Kabar Barlow knife in 1970. Late last year I dropped $80 on a Great Eastern Cutlery Whittler. I just spent $160 on this 4 1/4" custom with stabilized whalebone scales: (and I'm done with slippies for a while) http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/480167_3177587911743_10...

That's an interesting case NY Rich. All I can say is the old stand-by, You had to be there. Obviously there were more things to consider, such as why did he say that he tossed the gun (I guess so that he wouldn't get caught by the B&W.) Did he carry it every night (I would have) and a few other...

Be freaking aware that if you start spinning tools, drills or whatever in those holes you fix the knifeblank. You WILL lose fingers if a drill catches the sharp blade and start spinning! T. Good advice. Sometimes simple is better...a cheap rat tail file and a couple of minutes work should clean up ...

"I really hope this knife will be sold to NY residents..... "


If you're thinking NYC, don't count on it.

Have any friends living outside the five boroughs or in NJ?

Interesting that jury nullification should be brought up. How about "grand jury nullification"? Actually, it wasn't nullification, but a group of people using their common sense. This actually did happen while I was serving as a grand juror in Kings County (that's Brooklyn to those who are...

If you want simple, the knot on Chris Reeve's website is about as simple as they come.

The price alone rules this one out for me and my Millie is plenty heavy enough for my meager needs. I guess if someone has the cash and wants a bruiser of a knife there are worse choices. It is a good looker. Maybe at half the price and put on a diet I could learn to love it, but then it wouldn't be...

Just remember facebooks code isn't the best. There are ways around all those privacy settings. Best advice is just not to put anything you wouldn't want the entire world to see up there. Ha, well you said it yourself. Your life is boring, which is why most people follow other peoples twitters :) . ...

I don't mean to offend anyone, I live my life a certain way and don't care for anyone to tell me how to live it, therefore I am not going to stick my nose in anyone else business. However, I don't understand the facination with twitter / facebook craze and all of that. I have my opinions and they a...

I'm using the fire starter that came with my ESEE Izula kit. Not the fanciest thing around, but it seems to work just fine. It on the smallish side, but serves its purpose.

The older I get and the more I am made aware of such people, the more I desire to hide away in some isolated area of the world and I live in the middle of nowhere as it is. I used to like to have serious type discussions with people about these type of things to perhaps open their minds and learn t...

It's hard to believe that Jones was 66. Then again, it's hard to believe that I'm 65. Not a big fan of The Monkees, but I did watch the show both seasons it was on the air. It would have been interesting to see where they could have gone if they hadn't been limited to material written to appeal to t...

What you're picturing isn't so far fetched. Latest word is that New York City will soon be under constant surveillance by drone aircraft. This, in addition to the thousands of street cameras already in place. Anti-terrorism is one thing, but I don't recall giving the government carte blanche to spy ...

i noticed that too, it seems they have changed the screws on china models recently, wheather or not the screws are higher quality i do not know. i guess we will have to wait and see It wouldn't surprise me. I'm relatively new here but have already seen quite a few posts about the problem screws on ...

While not exactly the same thing, I learned carpentry from my dad. He wasn't a pro and didn't own a single power tool. It might have taken him a little longer, but when he was done every joint was perfect. I think that you can learn someones approach to life by watching how they use a tool. Do they ...

Whether Spyderco supports the NRA or not has nothing to do with the quality of its products. Unfortunately, every rights issue has become a political plaything and sometimes the best way to avoid becoming a casualty is to keep ones own counsel. I read American Rifleman every month and have never see...

Just to clarify, yes; you can own and carry a handgun in NYC without being law enforcement. Two things though, one; it helps 1000% if you actually have some sort of job in the NYPD. Some sort of official title. Two, if you don't; you can still get one. You just have to have the right connections. A...

If Spyderco does not have a presence at the NRA convention I could understand why. The NRA is already more about politics than it is about hardware. Of course, the two go hand in hand these days, but why would Spyderco want to get involved in that? I'm an NRA member, but don't necessarily agree with...

I've been using a DLC Millie for quite a while and it still hasn't shown any scratching down to the bare metal. Of course, I haven't tried jamming it through sheet metal or anything like that, but it hasn't been pampered either. One thing that I have noticed with a black Benchmade Griptilion is that...

Not to hijack this post, but I'm wondering if anyone has found a good registry cleaner for Vista. Yeah, I know it's supposed to be a horrible OS, but I've had pretty good luck with it. My only issue is that it (like every other version of Windows I've used) gets slower and slower. I've used WinClean...
