Right on!!

Nice one!!! I haven't had one that bad yet. :)

The Rolls is really a straight razor on a handle. The box has a sharpening stone in one side and a leather strop on the other. The wire handle, affixed in tracks in the box, is used to draw the blade back and forth across the sharpening and stropping surfaces. The tracks are designed with little gea...

I just wanted to thank everyone for all the suggestions and helpful information. Just as an update, as of yesterday, I am the proud owner of a brand new Springfield Armory XD(m) 4.5" 9mm. This was one of 8 or so 9mm's that I thoroughly researched and got to shoot over the past couple weeks. It...

I've been shaving with a straight for about a month--ever since I got my straight back from a fellow forumite (thanks Butch!!!). I still clean up a few awkward spots with a disposable, especially on the off-hand side.

I too have a Rolls Razor--haven't used it yet.

Buddy, I hate to break it to you, but physics doesn't care if you believe it or not. The 5.56 does not have the momentum to carry itself through barriers like what you're making it out to be. Thanks for making my point for me. According to the info. you provided, 55 gr. JHP .223 penetrates about as...

I've purchased wood and mastadon from bladeforums members

I've also purchased from knifekits.com

Not relevant given the weight of the projectile. Consider that 9mm ball penetrates a sandbag deeper than 55 or 62 grain 5.56 ball. Come on!! My neighbors don't have sand bags, what they have is vinyl siding, compressed saw-dust and sheet rock. .223 doesn't penetrate that better than 9mm ball? I jus...

What I do to close it one-handed, push on the tab until the lock connection is broken, then push spine of blade on outside of thigh while getting fingers out of the way. Then, I use the fingers just removed to close the blade all the way. I'm having trouble understanding what is going on with your l...

I initially doubted the Constitutionality of the Act. I've changed sides on that subject. Here's a link to (written) testimony by a Constitutional Law professor. I found the arguments persuasive enough to change my mind,...

you know Obama will veto it........ Really, what are you basing this on? Facts or propaganda? The fact that he signed a law granting right to carry in Nat'l Parks? Or, maybe, the fact that he signed a law expanding the category of persons who can carry Nationally as LEOs and retired LEOs? Perhaps y...

After my extensive research and rationalizations I ended up with a gun I hadn't even considered, a .380 Sig P232. It is ergonomically perfect for my hand and I believe I can deliver effective fire more quickly with this pistol than any other. So kindly disregard everything I said in that other thre...

Country Knives in Lancaster has probably the largest selection of Spydercos anywhere--very pricey, but they have 'em.

My uncle was a bombardier/navigator in an F-15 out of Seymour Johnson. He used to tell me stories about pulling so many Gs that the blood vessels in his feet would pop and full up his boots with blood.

By all statistical measures, violent crime has been in a steep downtrend for years, since the early 90's,... I do agree with your sentiments regarding preparedness though.

Innovation with design and materials. Risk taking with design and materials. Variety. Finger choils. Spyderhole. Attention to ergos. "If you build it (correctly) they will come" attitude of the company.

My wife doesn't like knives but she deals with mine. Other people opening knives freak her out. Frankly I agree, unknown people with sharp tools are only slightly less scary than behind the wheel of a car. :) Gross statistics, roughly 15x more likely to die in a car crash than by a knife (and about...

The way I read it, it only says the two should be treated equally, which I think they should. I don't think either should be illegal. On the other hand, I think the present situation, where a knife that flies open by itself if you touch the blade is legal while one which flies open when you press a...

Why get a compromise/specialty round? If you want big, just get a .45. If you don't plan to carry it daily, why polymer? If I could only have one gun, it would be a Ruger GP 100 in .357. Point and shoot. Rugged. Stainless. They "need" action jobs or a lot of use, but once the action smooth...

It's not just him--he's the fall guy. It's an institutional problem--he may have got the ball rolling but lots of others joined in to push it up the hill. Nobody was willing to do anything that might hurt the football team--just like few were willing to do anything that might hurt the "Church.&...
