Having handled both, including the sheepsfoot version of the Ladybug, I think the Jester was the better shape overall. The blade was more controllable because of the good forward position to put your thumb/fingers on.

I can't see that there would be any problem. I have had to baton with a Native (PE s30v) and it handled it with no sign of damage in any way, the lock held easily. I would think the new grind and thicker tip on the D4s would make your chances of hurting the knife even smaller than a hollow ground Na...

My first few experiences with VG-10 were not positive as about every one I used chipped easily and was a real mission to get an edge with, I can remember having real problems with a delica and a native 3. In fact I gave up trying to get an edge on the delica at all. Since then I have had an OD PS De...

Nice to see one of these threads when I have not just emptied my pockets

Depending on which set of keys I have there is always a SAK Classic or a Leatherman Micra on the fob. My belt pouch has either a LM Ti or a SAK Spartan and a pocketwrench/fisher bullet pen In addition I have any of, or a combination of, William Henry Legacy, UKPK, Small Classic Sebbie and/or a Delic...

My lab needed a large quantity of glass microscope slides which we duly ordered. The order was misinterpreted and rather than send us 50 boxes of fifty slides (which we wanted) they sent us one box of fifty slides. This measured roughly 3/4" x 3/4" x 2". It was sent in a box approximately 30" x 15" ...

I had heard that H1 was not very good at retaining an edge and used this as an excuse to buy another knife to test. It just so happened that it arrived and was put on sole EDC use at the start of a period in which I needed to do a lot (relative to my normal weeks anyway) of heavy cutting. I was very...

From experience I know I can rely on My Falkie F1 for my FB. For the folder I would like to say a Manix 80mm but I have not yet used it in the wild. I have taken a Para and it did well but was often watching from the backseat as my OD CE delica beater took the majority of jobs. What the hell, my fol...

I'd put up with the inconvenience of lower prices for the benefit of using ATS-55

I've never had any trouble with S30v; holds a good edge well and even little accidents (dropping on concrete etc) have done no damage. It does seem to corrode a bit more easily than VG-10 but is not problematic. Nearly every VG-10 blade I have used, or that my friends have used, has had edge chippin...

stay vigilant or your freedoms may go the same way as ours

The 'Rapid Response' section at the bottom of the article does provide some evidence that common sense and logical thought have not completely abandoned the country just yet. I'm not sure how appropriate it is for authors in a medical journal to try and make political points, especially ones so stup...

oops, bit late.

Happy Birthday Alex.

Personally I have never considered the use of the term sheeple as indicating people who do not use or carry knives in general. My use of the term is reserved for the small subset of people who feel it necessary to exclaim "ooh thats an evil looking knife" or similar pointless phrase when exposed to ...

i once saw something on tv about extremely very rare coffee "Kopi Luwak "(civet koffie)that are made of beans that have been eaten and defecated by the civet cat. They say the taste is unbelievable. I know that a Brussels coffeehouse paid a lot of $ for a little sack. Has anyone tasted it yet? :) I...
