I have used both the Polycrystaline and the Monocrystaline bench stones in a variety of grits and the Monocrystaline is, for me, the more long lasting and superior stone. When in use I clean it with Windex when it loads up, wiping with a microfiber towel or an old clean rag. Before storing it I clea...

Geez Louise, sneaky for sure!! I never even noticed the dates and just thought it was a worthwhile Topic. Got me totally ..... which was apparently not hard to do. :eek: Interestingly enough though, I received my three pairs of boot laces today and they really are a quality product. Something good c...

Mate, you're a bloody genius!

I'll move my barrow as soon as I get home!

Knew I could help.
Let me know how it all works out.

After carefully reading all the posts and different scenarios on this thread I've now put all my good knives in a wheelbarrows just inside the back door. Beloved wife's complaining that the kitchen is no place for a wheelbarrow full of knives so I wheeled it into the lounge room and she still isn't...

Easy choice for me. It would be at least one of my Mules. I edc a Mule, and that one lays on my nightstand next to the bed when I'm not dressed and carrying it. I also keep a Mule in my Emergency Evacuation Bag, that contains my grab and go gear. If I had time to throw a few things in the vehicle b...

I am trying to bond with my Manix 2 LW, but I just can't get used to the FRCP frame. It is light, practically disappears in the pocket, and is easy to carry, but it just doesn't feel "right" to me, especially after handling the Manix 2 with the skeletonized stainless steel liners and G-10 scales. I ...

LOL But as always the entire post was an enjoyable read!

Very interesting post Lance. I always enjoy a good practical field use review.
Sometimes the best knife for the job is the one you have with you. Glad the Millie served you well enough.

I just placed my order with MDL for 3 pairs of laces, scheduled to arrive the first of the week. John's website is easy to use, with several options to choose from, making it quick and easy to place an order. Within minutes of placing the order I received shipping notification. Outstanding!! Feels g...

Another piece of sad modern world news. Seems so senseless to me .....
Stay alert. Be safe. Take care.

If you don’t want to make them yourself check out http://www.maddoglaces.com for the finest paracord laces on the planet. I just added this MDL website to my Favorites listing. The Marine Corps Veteran Owned Business did it for me. I am going to give these laces a try. They look like a high quality...

I guess I'd have to say, it's my Manix 2 LW. This was my first experience with the LW FRCP frame. I got the knife for its Maxamet blade and, for me at least, what's not to like about Maxamet? I've loved Maxamet ever since I got it in my Mule. But I am one of those who likes a bit of heft and solid f...

What a nice birthday gift, and a beautiful inscription to go with it.
May your love be as strong and long lasting as that good Maxamet blade.

Congratulations!! Everyone should bond with a new knife.
Although there seems to be many different ways of doing so.

Mean little bugger, that Matriarch!

Quite easy! I’ve stopped eating but not completely because I still eat what people leave behind at the local McDonalds and the staff know me now and I get a few freebies. I don’t buy clothes any more but we live in an affluent part of Sydney and there are many quality garments hanging on nearby clo...

Asking myself, "Why not .....?" has always worked well for me.

[It is looking like I am the proud owner of a Manix 2 in S110V. But it's okay. It's a great knife and a high end stainless blade steel. Life could be a lot worse. :) I'll be interested in your thoughts after using and sharpening it half a dozen times or so. :eek: I must be the luckiest thing on ear...

Mike; Thank you very much for responding to my invitation for more information on your MBC courses and seminars. Your outline of your personal background and development of MBC is most helpful in determining qualification as an instructor, something too often lacking in others who profess qualificat...

Thanks very much to everyone who has offered assistance so far. I believe I am getting a handle on how to go about making this swap happen and it appears to be doable for me. Each post has added something of value and it's all much appreciated. Please keep the information coming, as all of it is hel...
