Oldsar , good point, the time spent is the most important thing, material possessions are just things and less important in the scheme of things And especially due to some family issues which I'd rather not go into detail on, I've sort of been nominated to be the official male role model for both h...

My co-workers finally understand the importance of EDC gear
A couple months ago, we hired on two new techs at work, both hard working, intelligent, analytical guys, it's not enough that we can make something work, they share my desire to know *WHY* it broke in the first place and *HOW* the fix worked... The only flaw here is they were constantly bugging me t...

Exact same for me, except I was swinging, missed the paper, and cut my left index instead. Ran right down the side, from the middle of the finger to the fingertip. Only thing is... my fingernail stopped growing. :eek: Maybe one day... Anyways, is there any blood on the blade? I noticed I cut myself...

Cricket bites kan be pretti nasti…
Yesterday afternoon, I got a first....hand (pun intended) look at how nasty the innocent looking little cricket can be… It was a crisp fall afternoon, I had driven my old Kubota G-5200 garden tractor into the old orchard, and picked a fresh McIntosh and Red Delicious apple, the cricket made short wo...

Patience pays off (CF Delica SE....)
Over the past month or so, I've had my eye on a used SpyderEdge CF Delica at my local Spydieshop (Kittery Trading Post, Kittery, Maine), it's about 96% of new, a couple extremely minor scuffs on the CF scales, but still has the majority of the factory edge, the CF looks great, has a depth and shimme...

H-1 Spyderhawk, a great gardening knife
My veggie garden is starting to produce edibles, and I've found that the Spyderhawk makes a stellar garden knife, my plants are very closely growing, creating a near impenetrable thicket of greenery, hiding Sunsugar cherry tomatoes, Beefsteaks, a Pineapple tomato, green beans, broccoli, and cucumber...

I feel vaguely...dirty...
I feel a little guilty, and a little dirty, I've been momentarily..... "unfaithful" to Spyderco.... I've picked up a Benchmade 551 Griptilian.... ....*HOWEVER*, it didn't cost me a thing, I traded in some old knives that I never used (non-Spydie) for store credit, got more than I paid for ...

H-1 Spyderhawk, perhaps the *perfect* Spydie?
It's been a while since my last Spydie purchase, I've actually been trading them off for store credit at my local sporting goods store, as I've gotten back into shooting sports, thankfully, Spydies are one of the few things that actually *retain* value (maybe the U.S. treasury should switch to Spydi...

The Dodo (and the Novatac 120P) "saves" dinner
Last night, the family (my parents and my niece and nephew) went out to a local seafood restaurant for dinner, when the waitress brought the kids their colouring placemats and crayons, they were a little dismayed when they opened the crayon boxes and found that a couple of the crayons had the tips b...

Finally got up the nerve to cut something with my Civvie
No, I didn't cut myself, nor did I cut anyone else, but I did cut something roughly analogous to human flesh, at least in terms of consistency I was lounging in the bedroom, watching Red Dwarf on my MacBook, with a small bag of kumquats beside me, Civvie on the computer desk I had been using a Case ...
