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 b...

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.

The handle has swells or something, doesn't it? It looks like it is not neutral.

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...

The Urban has a 2.5" blade. The UKPK has a 3" blade. The Chaparral has a 2.75" blade. It fits.

Re: Chaparral Slipit?

Doc, you know how I love and admire the Chap, especially as an even for Spyderco unique design in several aspects. And though one of these aspects actually is the supersolid (stop pin - ) backlock, it is still just ONE and since I am all for as many variants as possible of this knife to make more p...

Re: Family friendly jokes

A confused man with a map in his hand approached a local man in the city he was visiting.

“What’s the quickest way to get downtown?” he asked.

The local man scratched his head, and said: “Are you walking or driving?”

“I’m driving,” the tourist replied.

“Yup, that’s the quickest way!”

Chaparral Slipit?

I like the Chaparral, quite a lot. It is super thin and gives more blade than the Dragonfly in almost the same size package. I personally would like to see a Chaparral slip joint with SPY27.

I think it is time to move on from XHP as I like SPY27 better in my use.

Love chicken and dumplings @Doc Dan! My grandmother used to make them all the time. Was just telling that to my wife some time ago and she surprised me with some homemade last week. That's great! Your wife loves you, I can tell. I cheat. I use a pressure cooker to cook the chicken. Then, I remove i...

What I absolutely HATE is seeing people using the finger quotes when talking. It makes me think they are having a seizure or something.

Re: Is this the knife everyone clamors for?

Mine certainly isn't soft in the springs. This thing snaps into place with a very loud thwack and it feels so solid it is confidence inspiring.
