One question: Are rubber handles (or rubber inserts on handles) prone to more wear and rotting compared to, say, solid FRN?

Jim


that dogfather is close to 20 years old and the handle is immaculate. It has been used very hard. Clearing trails, splitting countless logs, chopping through downed ...

trying something different. street beat at 3 o clock.



used to carry it in this sheath at 1 o clock but since I switched to AIWB carry for my pistol it makes the front of my belt too cluttered.

this is working well today.

nitecore edc27 for me. its so easy to pocket for a long, powerful light

I have the newer more powerful version too, the 29 I think.

Tempted to buy the shorter one too. Love this series. Used to carry the larger Fenix lights as a security guard but ...

And there I was thinking a plain edge machete was going to be a hard enough sell as is. :spiral-eyes


Daring excellence is its own reward. Hopefully commercial success follows.

Pondering the comments about shock to the hands has me thinking full tang with handle scales might not be optimal in ...

luckily I only ever did that getting into my car. Would have been pretty embarassing doing that while out to eat or similar.

Little different for you for sure lol. What a hoot, hope you can embrace the culture, let's say lol. I am just old school and before pocket Knives had clips I had leather braided up and hanging on my knives so I didn't have to fish for them in my pockets... now we have this killer paracord and ...

kid caught some lizards. manix xl helped me cut air holes.

Good looking Lizard, Lizard's are like little dinosaurs...


reptiles are very fascinating creatures. used to bring home snakes, lizards ...

trying something a little different today

This happened with my Lil Native.
I carried tip-up clipped on the cargo pants leg pocket and it must have came open somehow whilst I was either walking or climbing over livestock barriers.

I found out about it when I sat down! :head-bandage

Not carried the Lil Native since. Just back locks ...

anyone got an idea?

normally I'm good with ID'ing snakes but I wasn't sure about this one.

plant and animal ID app said the following:

eastern rat snake
western rat snake
california king snake
Eastern massasauga
many banded krait

out of those rat snake and eastern massasauga look the closest to ...

true. I only have it in high end gyutos but it holds an edge nicely and sharpens great. I guess clad would be the only sensible option for a temp 2 sprint.

So, something stainless but more exciting to the public than VG10, made in japan. Hmm.

I enjoyed ZDP189 back in the day but I don't see it ...

I'll cast my vote for single edge machete. I like gripping the back when using them as draw knives to de-bark branches for hiking sticks etc.

Jovial, those middle two handles look nice in your comparison. I think the JM2 handle would be a little thin, short and abrasive myself. What makes a good ...

I didn't even think of super blue, but the more I think about it the more I like that idea.

I need to get back to doing that. Home made granola bars are healthier and softer than the dried out pre-packaged stuff.

I used to bake granola, then mix it with eggs,brown sugar and a pinch of vanilla and bake it off a second time to form bars. Sometimes I'd drizzle a little icing over top.

There's some nice beaches in FL, SC, MS, AL, GA etc. where you can carry whatever you want, then go shoot AR's and whatnot at some nearby ranges

V,

You do this and then dye the scales on them green like you did the other fixed blade, they would be killer. I really like that knife of yours, but then I like green lol


the gray sprint run temps dye really easily. if I remember correctly I used a mix of kelly green and dark green rit dye. I ...

I hope we see more green canvas micarta sprints. This model isn't for me but the scales are gorgeous.

What do you all think of a two handed machete? Forward position for more balance and rear position for hacking. I do like the idea of a 1/4” threaded pommel that can take plastic spacers or metal weights to change the balance.


I never used a two handed edged tool. They make sense for some ...

I'd definitely be willing to put one up against a coarse edged PE machete to see how viable the idea is, I just hate to think what shipping would cost you.
