I read up on the Tez Walker thing. That's some weapons grade stupidity. The NCAA needs to to be either eliminated or totally reformed.

We do quite a lot of sewing (and cutting fabric) at work. I've gone through many pairs of fabric cutting scissors over the years.

With all the praise showered on 10V & K390, I'm gobsmacked on how MT26 in A11 took over 4 years to sell out. Same issue with PD#1...everybody loves Cru-wear...but over 3 years to sell out? I was also very surprised that they were available for so long. I laid in a supply of both the A11 and the...

Delica 4 wharncliffe in k390 is on insane super sale right now.

Terava Skrama? (and can I just say how much my English language autocorrect hates those words)

Very nice. Looks like a great trip. And congratulations to your daughter. “Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go.” ― Truman Capote How crowded was it? I've been to Venice a couple times, and I've encountered everything from 'not too many people' to 'wall to wall people'...

I'd love to see Vanadis 8.

For a 'non-super' I'd like to see 14C28N.

I've never done ceramic on a car. I think I just don't care enough. We treat our cars as tools, so while we maintain them and take care of them, we never go in for waxing and polishing, or detailing. Maybe that's just my excuse for being lazy, though. :)

I always carry a 'beater' knife that I can loan to someone who asks 'do you have a knife?' My primary knife is generally one that I'm not willing to hand to anyone who asks that question.

I've been able to put rust on s90v, but never on s110v. In my mind, the advantage of s110v is for people who require additional stain resistance over what s90v offers.

I sold my Grips and only use the Doug Ritter variant sold through Knifeworks. I prefer the blade shape of it. I also have had better luck with the Hogue ones (I own three) than the old Benchmade version.

I went out and bought a couple of their made in USA knives, just because I've never had one and wanted to check them now.

I agree on most flippers, and especially front flippers. I just can't get into the front flippers, and some flippers are fun, but mostly I end up using them just for that fun factor. And I also agree on the deep carry clips. On some knives I definitely like them, but a lot of work and EDC I want the...

I would love this model so much better in a back lock and micarta scales. It really is a great edc user for its over all size.

Have you tried the Caly 3?

Same ergonomics, with a back lock. The blade is a little longer, though.

Moving from New York to Virginia...sounds like a ton of other knife and gun businesses that have made similar moves in the past decade.

So sad. Anchor Steam was one of the classics I remember from my misspent youth.

Surprised no one's mentioned the Ritter RSK auto pre-order. 3.4" of Magnacut but G10 instead of carbon fiber this time. $210 https://knifeworks.com/doug-ritter-auto-rsk-knifeworks-exclusive-black-g-10-stonewashed-magnacut-54136/ I preordered that one a while back. It didn't really occur to me ...

I think the steel is technically DPS 15. DPS 15 is a VG-10 core with the Damascus laminated to it. (Spydiewiki: https://www.spydiewiki.com/index.php?title=D.P.S._15_Damascus) Spyderco’s Damascus is a laminated fifteen-layer steel with a Suminagashi pattern. The Damascus steel is composed of layers o...

I don't think I've ever seen a Mule that _wasn't_ marked with the steel type. Was the DPS15 mule (MT07) not marked?

The deputy was careful to point out several times that this legal perspective is unique to California, and he added that it's going to get worse because fewer penalties for thieves are being considered favorably by California lawmakers. And Californians wonder why retailers are either (a) locking u...
