Re: Show your collections!

Star Wars vehicle and figures from the mid 1990's. Many are still in their original packaging. I've also got A LOT of basketball/football/baseball cards from the 1980's-1990's (most probably not worth much) Though I do have a Derek Jeter rookie card :grin-big eyes Yep we collected baseball cards to...

My next door neighbor just misses the mark with his '72 Chevelle.
Very very close to a '71, just like the headlamp bezels much more on a '71 model.

Re: Show your collections!

I was never a Chevy guy, but there are cars that are so iconic that they cross all brand loyalties. That is indeed one of the icons. Thanks Jim, in reality I'd much rather have a Chevelle, love full frame cars. The F-body (Camaro) and X-body (Nova) cars with their sub-frames just aren't as solid a ...

Forget the gloves, tell us about the car!
No, I'd rather talk about my ball gloves! ;)

It's a matching number 1969 Z/28 302DZ. Never restored, 3rd owner, hasn't been rained on in 35/40 years. Original Georgia car.

Re: What are you listening to?

I bet that's a great read and listen. Grohl has always been a favorite of mine. So talented, so level headed and seems like a genuine good guy. I've never heard or read anything bad about the guy all these years. I also love that he pulls fans up on stage to play along with them. Nothing beats this...

Re: Suggestions to complete my "Trinity"

My suggestion is do not use the Spartan Harsey Folder Plague Doctor, and it will be worth a ton in 5 years. All 8 billion of us are being dragged through h*ll right now and I cannot think of a better knife to sum up our plight. Completely agree, with both sentences! Yesterday when prndltech posted ...

Re: Suggestions to complete my "Trinity"

Since you say you're going to get a Hinderer at "some point", have you considered a Medford? They definitely have some unique scales to go with your Spartan. I'm very new to researching Spartan knives, actually handled one several months back, very high quality knife! I think peoples Trini...

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???

Any opinions on this Spartan Harsey? Wondering how it compares to a Chris Reeve or a Hinderer? Been really looking for a 3” XM-18 Skinny Sheepsfoot, they’re just not available! This Spartan is available. https://www.knifeart.com/shf-325.html https://i.imgur.com/Do3eCC4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/2m3rr...

More of the Foliage Green G-10 like on the Dragonfly, best color ever IMO!
Wasn’t that OD green like the Delica Cruwear?

Re: Oil rookie – Maxamet + Pure Silicone question :)

Bought this Breakthrough Battle Born lubricant for my pistols, because of the metal needle applicator I started using it on a few of my knife pivots, it’s my number 1 knife lubricant now, great stuff! https://www.breakthroughclean.com/product/battle-born-hp-pro-lubricant-and-protectant-2-fl-oz-bottle/

Re: C-60 Ayoob Campaign: No I Won't Shut Up

Could anyone please let me know how thick is the handle of the original Ayoob? I am thinking to make a mockup out of plywood just to get a rough idea how the handle would fit my hand.
