I've found that if i concentrate on not getting into the serrations, and just using the plain tip, it opens the ...

Bought the new Weezer album over the weekend- I've been hearing tidbits on the radio and had to have it. It's excellent!! Looking forward to seeing Clutch this weekend in AC, and can't wait for the new Slipknot to come out.

If a friend gives you a knife, you should give him a coin, or your friendship will soon be "cut".

This one is big in my family. Have had to explain it to people, but they usually get it. Christmas morning in my family requires that everybody has a pocket full of change to open gifts. (insert ...

For me the magic number is 3. Something with teeth, something plain edge, or at least combo, and a spare. right now, pacific salt SE, combo delica (or PE para), and tasman salt or harpy. It works out pretty well with my wardrobe. I usually wear cargo pants/shorts. Knives in three pockets, gun in the ...
