After 18 years of chewing Copenhagen (4-5 tins/wk),I gave it up 2 years ago,Jan 1.It was not easy,but with support from my family and removing myself from as many tempting conditions as I could,here we are. Aside from the obvious health benefits,I'm saving a pile of money,one of the things I had to ...

Thanks gang,Happy Birthday to both CopilotATS-55 and ATR216 as well.It was a :spyder: celebration here today.My lovely wife and kids got me a new Salt 1,and my Mother in law gave me $ which went directly towards my first Kopa. :) This is a fun place to hang out,Happy New Year everyone.See you on the...

My condolences jimd.

I'm thankful for the following:my family,friends,health,job,pets, my church and the many other blessings I have recieved.Thanks for the chance to share,and thanks for the contest.

Have a safe and merry Christmas everyone.

Oops,my bad TKC,I'm fairly new here.What I meant to say is he's one lucky dude to have such a great big Sis. :)

Hi TKC,sounds like you have lots to be proud of.I am a city Firefighter where I live and carry a D'Allara when on duty.I wish your little bro a long and safe career in public service.It is provided me with a tremendous sense of reward over the past 18 years and I count myself lucky to have had the o...

I'm 36 (for eleven more days).It seems that I had a SAK for as long as I remember.My first locking folder was bought in '83 when I was working at summer camp.I'm not sure who made it,but it had a bear hunting scene in relief on the handle.I used it mostly for whittling,and spent a lot of time sharpe...

Not that cold is a double layers system Mountain Hardwear XCR Mithrill and Windstopper fleece Trilogy. Very cold like -40° F (Or C, it's the same!!!) I go all the way KANUK http://www.kanuk.com Made here in Quebec. They are expensive, but if you make the math: 700.00$, last 12 years, it's less than...

About six hours from my home is a town called Freeport ME.Many of you will be familiar with it as being the home of outdoor giant L.L.Bean.While Beans makes very nice stuff,across the street is a North Face factory store.Here one can buy seconds at really low prices.My wife and I take an annual pre-...

This is fun,great idea Dodge.How about Shogun warriors,anyone have those?They were a Japanese styled plastic robot that stood about two feet high and shot rockets from thier hands.Also the Evel Knievel collection was a lot of fun.Oh and the Bionic man with his roll-up skin to expose his bionics,and ...

Anyone out there remember "Big Jim"?He was an action figure that was around in the early seventies.He had a button in his back that enabled him to deliver a "Kung-Fu Chop".He also had a really cool camper van and a Rescue Squad.I loved that guy. Raven,I was also a fan of Micronau...

Thanks for the suggestions guys.I did just what you all said this morning and right you were.Holding the clip at the barrel-bolt hole with my leatherman,I applied some very gentle force and it bent slightly.I then re-installed the clip and it now has that secure fit I was looking for.Simple fix for ...

Oakley half-jackets,polarized, everyday.I have had trouble with the Oakley fit before,but these seem to fit the old punkin pretty good. :cool:

Hillbilly,he was actually very pleased with how it held up in light of the fact that he didnt intend to use it.He forgot his fixed blade hunter at the camp,and used the Delica out of nescessity.(Or too lazy to hoof back )

Hi gang,I just took delivery of my newest Spydie,a black-bladed Delica PE,and I like it alot.My problem is this:When I slide it in my pocket the clip feels very loose and it slides out far too easy.I'm not sure if it is because my Navigator fits so snug and that is what I'm used to or what,but I rea...

I no longer hunt,but last month a friend of mine completely field dressed a Whitetail deer with a SS Delica PE.

I'm in,thanks and Merry Christmas to all.

Axlis,I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one to do this.Two weeks ago I got my new D'allara SE,and promptly ran it across my thumb pad.Yup,they are sharp.
