I’ll check out the Big Week: The Biggest Air Battle of World War II book as well. It feels like it would make a great movie.

Read the great Oppenheimer biography last year. Great Christopher Nolan movie as well. Very smart, conflicted and complex character.

Good narrative Coastal. You should be very proud of your Dad. When I said air superiority in Spring 1944 I meant over France not Germany. The German 88mm Flak guns were formidable with a muzzle velocity of 2,690 feet/second. Fortunately, the Germans did not have our proximity fuses which was one of ...

The upcoming Charisma folder kind of reminds me of the Victorinox Swiss Classic Picnic knives which are liner lock folders weighing 1.5 ounces (42g). Blade steel is the German 1.4116 56 RC stainless steel (close in composition to 420HC steel), plain or fully serrated edge, blade length of 4.3" ...

The upcoming Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run also has a very thin blade of 0.07" (1.8mm).

It wasn’t until mid-December 1943 when P-51D Mustang fighters with the Merlin engine provided the US Army Air Forces with the high-performance, high-altitude, long range fighters which could escort B-17 bomber formations all the way to Berlin and back. Massive losses between June 1943 and December 1...

Wonder how many episodes in series, saw 8 now anther preview. Thought series was only EIGHT. Nine episodes in all with the series finale airing next Friday, March 15th along with a one hour documentary about the 100th Bomb Group called “The Bloody Hundredth”. https://youtu.be/ZkYOtyp3hKU?si=X381Lpj...

The March 2024 Spyderco byte newsletter features the Manix 2 and especially Manix 2 Salt MagnaCut.

Looking at the prices of U.S. made folders with CTS-BD1N blade steel and FRN scales (Para3 & Native Chief) I’m guessing a street price of around $130-$140 for the Charisma. Ouch! Big money for a such a knife - I’d expect to be paying no more than $80. The Golden made Ukpk in the same steel with...

$200 in November 2016 dollars. Today, that’d be $275. Well they wanted it to be around $100 because "It's only a Delica". So maybe that was 1960 dollars. Spyderco folders made in Japan with liners and G-10 are too pricey which is why so few are made today. — Stretch2 XL with Satin Cru-Wea...

The Charisma with the thin blade, 3” blade length, light weight and slim & thin package is right up my alley. Nice!

Edge Retention of 15V is up there along with Z-Max, Maxamet and Rex-121 (coming in Sage 5). TCC is Total Cardstock Cut in millimeters in Larrin’s tests.

The one that got away. https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/product-images/spyderco-delica-exclusive/MD-26943_20161116173018_7fdc177ce0ba2025.png?auto=format&fm=jpg&fit=fill&w=820&h=547&bg=f0f0f0&dpr=2&chromasub=444&q=35 Cancelled since people felt $200 was too expensive fo...

Looking forward to Reveal Volume 15.

Well done Mr. Blonde! The three upcoming 15V folders you posted about (Military2/G-10, Manix2/FRCP, MicroJimbo/G-10) will all be Regular Production or Sprint Runs? I asked again at the IWA Show and I got back that the 15V knives were planned as regular production. I'm sure the next Reveal will sett...

Do these have full liners or nested?

Nested stainless steel liners.

Watched Dune: Part Two (2024) in an IMAX theater a few days ago. Top notch for action and story. The visuals and sound were great in the theater.
