I don't collect them, but I do have a bunch. I've been using fountain pens since the late 1970s. Started with cheap Sheaffer pens (the kind sold in a blister pack at office supply stores) and eventually moved up to better pens. Have had Papermate, Parker, Levenger, Waterman, Conway-Stewart, and some...

These aren't "horror" films but they're still creepy and disturbing and are good options if you don't want a traditional horror film on Halloween: "Se7en" "Jacob's Ladder" -- The original version with Tim Robbins. "The Silence of the Lambs" Or if you want some...

I've got all my Jimmy Buffett on random play today. RIP Jimmy.

"I once saw him kill three men in a bar... with a pencil."

Just imagine what he could do with a ballpoint pen.

The one feature the Robin has that I'd like the Dragonfly to copy is the option of a SE wharncliffe blade. I didn't realize the Robin had a SE wharncliffe option until this thread (which made me go look up the specs on the Spyderco website), so now I'm considering getting a Robin. But the weight dif...

I'm not actively collecting any more, but at one time I was buying a lot of comics so I'm familiar with storing paper items. I would not store them in a completely airtight bag. Even "slabbed" comics (such as those graded by https://www.cgccomics.com/) are not airtight. Store paper items i...

Most knife companies have figured out that the people want a deep carry pocket clip. I'm sure this has been covered before, but why on earth doesn't Spyderco manufacture a deep carry clip and provide them with each knife? I can only count a few knives overall that their regular clip is more advanta...

I've been wearing a Filson "bridle leather" belt almost every day for over 15 years. It's starting to show some wear, but I expect it will easily last another 15 years. So I can definitely recommend Filson belts made 15+ years ago. But I really have no idea if the belts Filson sells today ...

RH/TD I have a few knives that are tip-up only, but I don't carry them much. At this point, I ignore probably 99% of the new knives introduced by different makers, because they only support tip-up carry. One of the reasons I like Spyderco is they are the only major company (that I know of) that stil...

There's no way I could limit this list to only 10 films. This isn't a complete list, but here are some favorites with some comments: * Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return Of The Jedi -- But I haven't cared for any of the prequels, sequels, or spinoffs I've seen so far. I've heard "Rogue One&...

The Avengers (British TV series; 1961 - 1969) Season 5, Opening & Closing Credits: https://youtu.be/Wg3oRtN0iqE Jim There was a bunch of great spy/thriller type shows back in the 1960s/70s. From the UK, there was "The Avengers", "Danger Man", "The Saint"; from the ...

I just can't believe that no one here gives any respect to the old 80s cop show MIAMI VICE. Truly I thought that show was way ahead of it's time. It was one of the first shows to implement really cool music as an important part of the show as well as men's and women's fashion being off the charts. ...

A few years old, but still fun. (Spoiler: They can't kill it.)

This was unveiled by Toyota at SEMA 2021. TacoZilla. https://i.postimg.cc/W4m9x6MF/Taco-Zilla-SEMA-2021-Hi-Res-1-1000x600.jpg Looks like a modern version of the old Sunrader campers built on the Toyota truck platform from the 1980s. The 4x4 versions of the Sunrader are really sought after now. &quo...

This is from the big snow storm that hit the Puget Sound region back in December 2008. I still have this truck. And (other than the snow!) it looks the same.

Surely there must be some other first-gen owners on the forum?

I go to very few concerts -- I don't like crowds, and I want to preserve my hearing. (Even "mild" artists like Paul Simon crank up the volume so loud that I wore earplugs when I saw him.) But I do go to a show if the artist is important. e.g., the already mentioned Paul Simon, and I got to...

That's quite a score for $5! That's an original Worker, see info here: https://www.spydiewiki.com/index.php?title=C01_Worker

Looks like either the black coated stainless handle or the black "Tuffram" aluminum handle; see rows 5 and 6 of the table on the page abvoe.

If you are on a budget, the Polestar and Alycone just got updated to BD1N. If you prefer a choil, the Byrd Raven2 is essentially a beefier Polestar with a choil. (Albeit with only BD1 steel and teflon washers to keep the price down.)

M300?
