Re: Forward to the past: Fallout preps are a thing again
I agree that a nuclear attack is more survivable than most people think. It all depends on your location and luck as well as what actions you take. Most targets will be hit with air bursts which produce much less fallout. If it's an old soviet union style attack on IBM fields where each silo is targ...

Re: Happy Birthday "The Masfiff"
Hey, you got an extra "f" for your birthday! Cool! Have a good one, friend. Spyderco gave you a nice b-day present with the recent reveal, innit? Thanks ! Yep, I do like more Cruwear and always will. I have enough to not have time to use them all though so I will probably be picking and c...

Re: What do I do with my first endura 4?
My question is, is this normal? It looks pretty normal to me. Will this affect the lifespan and usability of my knife? In no way. How you use, maintain and sharpen is what will matter. Should I ask for a replacement or something like that? Only you can say. If you return it please don't use it or d...

Re: Knives: Don't Make a Fatal Mistake
Not everybody can get a CCW permit to legally carry a gun. And I know the popular thing people say on forums is, "Then move to a state where you can get a CCW permit." But I'm not going to uproot my entire life to move somewhere I don't know anybody, or the area, or if I'd even be happy t...

Re: What was your first knife?
My first knife was a broken blade Imperial Jackmaster single blade fishing knife with a scalier on the back of the blade. It had been mangled on a grinder, had no scales and then just thrown away at a construction site where I found it on the ground around age 7 or 8. It was treasure to me and sure ...

Re: Native Chief Lightweight!!!
I'd sure like one in a tool steel. 4V or Cruwear. The only stainless I'd currently buy is Magnacut. I have to say BD1N is a good stainless and super fun to get sharp but I already have a lot of knives like that.

What the **** is happening to me. I kept waiting for the "I live my life Boring" to start taking her top off. I guess my words of wisdom are that too much time on a computer can do things to your mind. Take some reality and turn the internet off . :)

Re: New Endura back lock super stiff
How experienced are you with back locks? They are made to be harder to open than liner and framelocks with a noticeable bias to close until you get past a certain point.

Re: backlock endurance
Backlocks that haven't seen abuse have unlimited lifespans as I see it. I have backlocks from the 60's and 70's that are still in use. My Spydercos go back to the early 90's and the only one that is loose enough to be concerning is a 80's era police I took in on a trade that had been pounded/batoned...

Endura in my pocket since 1993. I'm still going to buy and use other knives so I'm unsure what this thread "once and for all" accomplished.

Re: Exotic Animals Invading USA Wilderness Areas
No real way to get rid of carp once they are there. I lived on a nice reservoir in Michigan that was filled with carp. They drained it one year and poisoned the river. They filled it and restocked with native fish and the carp out grew and out bred the natives and that whole thing just made it worse...

Re: Is the Native chief supposed to be hard to open?
James hits the nail on the head with this: Flickability and "drop-shuttiness" is not a determination of level of quality. A back lock has the backspring, which creates greater closing bias and retention. It's not really designed for flicking. It's not going to fly open as smoothly as, say,...
