Happy birthday Kristi, hope it's been a good one.

Only time I used a knife to cut a can was in a Bushcraft class. I believe it was a Boker folder that I used to turn a can into a make-shift stove. Otherwise, there's so many better tools for the job - SAKs, or old military issue P-38 can openers. I had JRE Leather make a sheath I designed that ...

A majority of the lower cost Chinese made knives don't appeal to me. I either don't like the design, steel, or lesser quality.

Case in point is the Orange handled Ozark Trail folder sold by Walmart that is similar to the Bugout. A buddy gave me one to play with as a beater. Non-knife people will ...

I really like the new S&W J-frame that came out in .32H&R Magnum. It has better sights, a better factory trigger, and 6 rounds vs. 5. The .32H&R Mag offers close to the same stopping power as the .38Special with less recoil. I've seen a lot of gun writers whose opinion I respect speaking well of it ...

Found this interesting story about Jimmy Buffet's run in with Buford Pusser.

Till we form again

Everyone's responses to my post are equally hysterical and ridiculous. You people are defending this company like its one of your children. I am not exactly sure where I came of angry and I don't have some sort of PTSD from killing babies in Nam either. Spyderco is out of stock on most knives that ...

I've read of several U.S. Vets moving to Guyana. No language issues since English is the official language and their military retirement/disability check goes a lot further there.

Sounds like the kind of Vet that's 1st in line at Applebee's on Veteran's Day

Looks like a lot of other members found black bladed Spyderco knives in stock. Maybe try a post asking for some assistance first next time.

I recall last time this was brought up a lot of people were hoping it would be something our overseas members could enjoy like the UK Penknife. Maybe the new Metropolitan in Spy27 with Blue FRN or G10?

I used to use Mineral Oil, then switched to Ballistol on the advice of LT Wright. Other than the weird smell, I like it better.

Only knife I have in 3V from Ken Brock. Have not used it for anything abusive, but I love how thin the blade stock is on it. Part of why he switched to 3V from CTS-XHP I believe.

A few more months & I'll be at 20 years too - crazy

Current CCW is a Ruger LCR.

Used to carry a S&W 36 but I prefer the trigger on the LCR.

After a buddy's recommendation, and handling one, I'm seriously looking at the S&W Bodyguard 2.0. It's the first compact .380 I've handled that I like how it feels in-hand. Additionally, the trigger feels a ...

Plan on getting one as a work EDC. At 1.5oz I'll hardly notice it in scrubs.

Stage 4 Melanoma here, and how I got my screen name. Get ready for a whirlwind of Dr's visits, labs, imaging studies, treatments, and surgeries. Followed up with a rinse & repeat of the same till hopefully you are found cancer free. Then it just becomes a routine of 6 month follow up visits with ...

5) Rhino

First time I heard Ozzy Osbourne was as a middle school kid living in Carrollton TX. I was at a buddy's house playing D&D, listening to the radio, when "Crazy Train" came on. It's still my favorite song by him & one of the main songs that got me interested in listening to Rock.

Rest in Peace Ozzy

Picked up a Manbug Leaf at BLADE this year and I've been using it as a work EDC. It has performed just fine for all my usual hospital office cutting jobs. My only adjustment is getting used to no pocketclip - I have to pay attention when I pull my keys out of my pocket that it's not tangled up in ...

Stopped by SMKW with the wife on the way back to Ft. Campbell. Saw a Lil'Temperence SE for sale at a little less than the usual MSRP because it was discontinued. Passed because it was SE and I wanted PE.

Passed on getting the C27 Jess Horn when it first came out because "That's a lot of $$$ for an ...
