Re: The First Pig-Human Kidney Transplant
Wow, they only last so long... That is not a fun thought. One of my younger brothers needed open heart surgery, he was born with a hole in his heart the size of a nickel. Very stressful time, but they put a patch over the hole and said it was good for life. I would have a hard time thinking about n...

Re: The First Pig-Human Kidney Transplant
Interesting, so the practice is not entirely new. Well, I can certainly say that I hope it does develop into a safe, effective solution that can help so many people. I'm no thoracic or heart surgeon but I think that I can only have 2 to 3 new valves and then I need a new heart. I received a tissue ...

Re: The Days of the Milkman May Be Numbered!
Is paper better, or do they usually coat those in plastic anyway? I don't know exactly what they coat paper in to make it able to hold liquid. Plastic coatings on the paper cartons. Seriously though, most of the info about this plastic stuff is on known conspiracy theory and activist websites. So t...

Now they are saying that a lot of the fish we eat has PFAS in them. PFAS are manmade poisons!

Re: The First Pig-Human Kidney Transplant
Well I guess we'll see if it doesn't cause any issues down the road for that patient. Some problems might not surface until some time after the transplant. This idea is partially interesting and partially, I don't know, disconcerting? I guess I just worry that every new biological innovation might ...

Re: Lil' Temp 3 & Short Thick Blades
There are as many self defense blade designs and blades used for self defense as there are self defense theories and scenarios.
For self defense I have been carrying up to 3 knives: a neck knife, a fixed blade and a folder.
I am never without my Spyderco Native Chief on S90V.

Re: This knife should be in production…My dream hunting knife put together.
I like it. What is not to like. S90V may be my all time favorite steel.
S90V - CHECK.
Deep carry pocket clip - CHECK.
Decent sized blade - CHECK.
The orange grip does not bug me, but black is better for my needs.

Re: Building a Custom Knife for Sal: CPM S60V
Good thread!
I knew that you were heavily involved in knife making, but had no idea you had all of that equipment.
Do you take orders for knives at this time?
