Thanks for sharing that David.
I have held on to similar negative perceptions of serrated edges for many of the same reasons.
Also, aesthetically I just like the sleek smooth look of a fine plain edge.
Similarly, I like the smooth, sleek lines of a classic Corvette, but I understand that another ...

Anyone had any experiences with supremesolutions on ebay?

Couple of my faves on ebay are digital freaks/deadwood knives and unitedoutdoors.

Texas HB 1862 Texas Switchblade Ban Repeal signed into law June 14th, goes into effect August 27th. Local restrictions still apply. Check local law enforcement for details on any local restrictions.

My EDC for self defense isn't made by Spyderco. It's made by Glock. Except on days when I'm dressed lighty or formally--then it's made by Kahr.

I've spent some time studying blade based martial arts, and my major conclusion is that knife fighting is a brutal, nasty, bloody affair that I have no ...

Today I used my Spyderco to open a package containing my new Manbug ZDP-189! :D

WD40 is a petroleum product, isn't it? I can't see how making flavored versions would be a good idea unless maybe they were going to use a different formulation altogether.

I liked the joke about bacon grease for knives. :p

I notice that no one mentioned peanut oil, and that kind of surprises me ...

Do you have a pretty hostile work environment? Looks like your ready for any cubicle invasions.

Better to have it and not need it, than...well, you know the rest...

Like it!
I think it could use some of that flourescent "Zombie green" color thrown in somewhere, but other than that pretty cool.

Yes it is true, some mineral oil is labeled food-safe and some is not. Food-safe mineral oil is simply 100% mineral oil with no other additives. And remember a little goes a long way, don't over do it. In the food service industry you just pay a little more for it to say "food-safe" on the label ...

That is great work. I'm planning on doing something similar with my deck...when I get around to it.

As long as you don't plan on stabbing someone I say A okay. :D

Also mineral oil is considered "food-safe."
I've found that plant or animal based oils have a tentency to gum up over time, though I have also used olive oil with good results.

That's my Manix 2 and my Ruger SP101 .357 MAG, with .357 Mag 125 gr FTX® Critical Defense® in my speedloader.

I still plan to buy a nice quality version of one of these someday, not that I would ever carry it.

Definitely hold out for a quality model. I'll probably splurge and get one myself someday, not that I would ever carry it.

I have a knock-off and the action is great, but the blade is cr**.

That's not a knife, this is a ..... bang bang!

I think I've mentioned this before, "Don't bring a knife to a gun fight."

And yes, similarly to what BAL said, if confronted with an assailant threatening deadly force in an manner I also would pull out my bang bang and just shoot em.
