Re: Help: does anyone know if website Sanford Custom knives is a scam?

Want to buy a knife sold in Sanford Custom Knives but wanted to check if anyone here has ever bought from them, please help I've owned quite a few knives but never any from Sanford Custom Knives. I lost $300 after I attempted to buy a knife from Attn2Detail. I begged the proprietor to give me my mo...

Re: Serrated Edge for Hunting?

I used a serrated edge knife years ago. It wasn't a Spyderco. Here are my thoughts, based upon that experience (they may be just gas). Think serrated steak knife. It will go through flesh very easily and quickly. However, for the hide, it wasn't so good. A plain edge was better for me when skinning....

Re: H1 Fixed blades

I don't think it works that way. I think the work hardening is in the manufacturing, at least I remember it being that way. Sharpening doesn't do it...though I have read some that say it will after a long time. I think it is a case that the teeth get a little rounded and therefore cut better. Those...

Re: H1 Fixed blades

Thanks. It will be expensive . I always quite fancied the Fish Hunter too, but I can’t find one of those anywhere these days (that will ship to SG anyways). I’ve yet to try H1 in PE so it would be cool to try an Aqua Salt in PE as well as SE. I know people bash PE H1, but if I remember rightly Vivi...

Re: Family friendly jokes

Over breakfast one morning, a woman said to her husband: “I bet you don’t know what day it is today”. “Of course I do,” he indignantly answered, getting up from the table and going out the door to the office. At 10am, the doorbell rang. When the woman opened the door, she was handed a box containing...

Re: Family friendly jokes

Two lifelong friends got together for lunch one day. “Mike, I’m in a terrible pickle,” the first man stated. “I’m strapped for cash, my rent is due tomorrow and I haven’t the slightest idea where I’m going to get it from!” “Well, that’s good to hear,” answered Mike with a smile. “I was afraid you mi...

Re: The Days of the Milkman May Be Numbered!

I miss the days when the milk man would come by the house about 4:00 in the morning and drop off bottles of milk. Later it changed to paper cartons. Sometimes, I would wait up for him and buy chocolate milk from him or something else.

Re: The Days of the Milkman May Be Numbered!

Milk in paper cartons is better. However, I buy Fernleaf powdered milk. It tastes just like bottled milk and dissolves in cold water. It is a New Zealand product. I understand that the same brand in the UK isn't nearly as good because UK laws mandate using only UK cow milk. The NZ cow milk is much ...

I'm not sure. Over here it is Fernleaf and the full cream is as good as regular Meadow Gold whole milk in the USA.

Re: The First Pig-Human Kidney Transplant

They have successfully grown human organs in pigs, and even ears. I hope this turns out to be a good thing for everyone concerned. It could save a lot of lives.

Now, if the government would get control of the insurance companies and the way charges are done, perhaps it wouldn't cost so much.

Re: Budget bushcraft knife

Interesting looking knife. I was expecting to see a $16 Mora Companion after reading the title. What kind of steel? Sandvik 12C27. I do love my Mora knives but sometimes I want a full flat rather than a scandi. Handle is very comfortable and more grippy after putting the electric tape on it. Have y...
