I have a many Bokers and I think they are well made and worth the price. :) I don't think they are "gimmicy". The bowies, daggars, autos, slippies, etc., all have a purpose. Lots of different styles, handles, steels. Lots to choose from. Many different prices too. Just choose what you need...

I used to shave the hair off my arm but now I use my finger nail to test it. If it snags on the edge then I know the edge is bent over. I have read a lot about getting rid of the wire edge on the blade. I like to straighten that wire edge and use it. It is sharp if I get it to not lean to one side a...

Yes sir, in the hunting and fishing department. They are hanging up on a card with a little leather sheath that comes with it. I think the price is now about six dollars. The front or top of the hone will not take a lot of metal off. It is just for a touch up. There is a groove down the middle for f...

I hadn't been in the Wal-Mart Sporting Goods department for a long time. I stopped the other day and there were no Natives or any Spydies at all in the display case. I could not get a clerk to wait on me. The girl ignored me. I was upset about that but at least I know where not to buy a knife of any...

My condolences. I know how difficult that is to do. My cat was like a dog. He'd go everywhere with me. He was my pal and buddy. He got uremic poisoning. The vet could not help and did not know what was wrong with the cat. He later called and told us it was uremic poisoning. My cat passed away with w...

I have been using the backside of a Walmart Smith's (?) diamond steel to hone the edge of my knife (rectangular honing steel sold there). There is a little bit of oversprayed diamonds on it that helps sharpen my knife. I also have a piece of half inch by five inch square steel stock that I scruffed ...

We have large dogs that run loose here too. I don't leave the house without my pocket knife with a 3" blade and sometimes a 4" blade. I don't want to fight with a dog but it seems to me that I could use the knife to get me out of a dog attack. At least I'd have something to use to defend m...

What percent is PayPal charging the sellers now?
I thought it was 4% up from 3%?
If I were to sell an item for $30.00 and charge/add 4% PP fee = $31.20 TTL cost. But then, using PP, they would charge another 4% on top of that $31.20 = $1.248+$31.20=$32.448 TTL cost for item using PP. Am I correct?

Now that I'm an UHOG, (UnHealthy Old Guy) and use a cane to get around, I've considered using my aluminum cane as a self defense weapon. So I whacked my leg with i...

The box is important for resale. People want the box but most toss the box away the day they get the knife. I like to have the box to keep the knife in. :spyder:
