Oppenheimer 2023. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15398776/ I saw it, was OK, not all that good as the hype said for sure. It could have been shorter, a lot shorter actually for the content it had, or lack there of actually, could have been 60 mins to 90 mins. The TV Show Manhattan 2014-2015 was MUCH ...

Anyone besides me watching? Gotta admit, I like watching this show I think new episodes every Thursday? Been catching up on all the Star Wars series now since the cable company added in Disney+. :cheap-sunglasses They have been very good, always was a huge Star Wars fan since I saw Star Wars A New ...

RIP to both. TBH, I wasn't as familiar with Cindy Morgan, but I definitely remembered David Soul, more for Salem's Lot than for Starsky & Hutch (which I didn't really watch back then). I also remember him from Here Come the Brides, and IIRC, as a bad guy in one of the Dirty Harry movies. I also...

They will be missed.

Well could always go with a smaller knife too. Like a Winkler Belt Knife, this one is in 3V. https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/415227909_10219505591830600_1759821509531028354_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=dd5e9f&_nc_ohc=NeaPhTPwX-EAX8P4eUW&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2....

During WWII many soldiers carried a Ka-bar for a variety of tasks; today knife enthusiasts have a plethora of quality options that will fill the same roles. If you were transported back in time to serve in a 20th century war, or you were placed in a gritty survival situation that called for a knife...

It's already been said, but yeah, its cheap and easy to work with. It blows me away when I see $200+ knives made from 1095. I could care less how good someone is at blade smithing, no knife made of 1095 is worth that much. That's like paying $50 for a McDonalds cheeseburger. (Which I suppose isn't ...

It's popular among knife MAKERS because people buy them... Not really. ;) MOST people buy from a maker due to their reputations, what types of knives and or other cutting tools they specialize in. Steel doesn't really matter so much. There are a lot of non stainless steels that makers use other tha...

Having known a number of competitors, there are many reasons I do not go on there, it is reality tv. You're not wrong about that. Implying that 1095 shouldn't be used for swords though - that's ridiculous. 1095 can absolutely be used to make highly functional, large-scale cutlery. I never said it w...

I do when Dave Baker makes it at the very least. Curious though, are you saying it's just staged? It's reality TV... ;) Walter Sorrels uses a 1095/1050 mix ( averages to about 1070, but has nice, subtle contrast for hada effect) in beautiful Japanese style swords with high performance. He does stra...

.... ....., but it can be used for full on broad swords, so it's tough enough for me. ..... Really? They do that? Honest question, I thought for a sword they´d rather go with 10 6 5... I don't know what would tend to be the preferred steel for many makers, but more than a couple swords have been ma...

The Japanese just had to have that Magna Cut. Bring on the Magna Cut Katana! But Magna Cut is made by Crucible. Those jokers at Nippon are going to be pissed when they learn that they bought the wrong company. P.S. I just did a search on Magna Cut, and autocorrect gave me "Manga Cut." I g...

It's really sad in a way that so many iconic USA companies are ending up being owned by foreign corporations. Here in Kansas City years ago we had huge steel mill owned by ARMCO steel corporation. It was a fantastic employer and I had two really good friends that made great money working for them. ...

Not every knife steel has to be Magnacut or M390, and there are different steels for different applications and most of those applications are manufacturing, not knife making. The fact that we are seeing high edge retention steels is great, but it may not be by design...they may not have been inten...

I don’t get steels like 1095. Why are so many hunting, camping, hiking knives made from this steel? It’s not tough and it doesn’t have good edge retention so I just don’t get it. The bottom line here is because it has a long history of working. 1095 has a variety of uses in knives, all depends on t...

I have always liked this XMAS song the best.

As is always the case, the victors write history. History is what we learned in elementary school. But it wan't that long ago, and not all the facts have been lost to the sands of time. I'll try to summarize with minimal distortion precursors to December 7, 1941. The Japanese were screwing around i...
