Sharp1....i actually edited my post to include verbal assaults. Just one more thing.... If possible, try to install a security sytem or alarm. If you can't afford one, put a fake one up (especially one with a flashing lights) or buy a guard dog.....studies have found that these 2 measures drasticall...

Provoking intruders verbally would be construed as provocation on your part...which means that you would be at fault as well if the intruder attacks you. Instead, try to use non lethal alternatives such as sticks or blunt weapons whenever possible. Always remember that in law, preservation of life i...

Mike, do you know of any MBC style classes that are organised by reputable individuals or organisations in the Australasian or Asian region? The problem is that many of us living on the other side of the world would find it difficult to fly halfway around the globe to attend MBC training at Colorado...

Mike and Clay, thanks for all the constructive comments. Mike, out of curiosity, are your MOD Tempests plain edged, serrated or partially serrated? It's just that i've found that a 50/50 or 60/40 edge works best for my style of cutting as I tend to do a lot of slicing cuts starting with the back par...

Golem....Sorry if i didn't express myself properly. I've also lifted weights since was a teenager.I'm also chinese myself and most of the chinese people I know, especially in my family and those in Malaysia where i'm from, think that its weird.Just my personal observation. No need to get upset. The ...

Clay, it really doesn't take infinite wisdom and piercing insight to see that i'm weird, just a good dose of common sense...<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>.....every time i see a thread about the chinese folder, i can't resist jumping in....just like a lemming<img src...

Hi Clay, I know you addressed the question to Mike but just throwing my 2 cents in due to an abundance of spare time...<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>...hope you don't mind. i think IWB would be best when you know that you aren't going to be using the knife for a whil...

I don't know why but the temperance jr reminds me of the chinese folder. The strange thing is that i love the look of the lil'temperance and the temperance fb (as seen in the 2002 catalogue)....but totally dislike the chinese folder.....Like my girlfriend always says, i'm weird....... A lawyer with ...

Spin and yzhai, I'm chinese as well and that's very true....well, look on the bright side.....it just means that you get to keep most of the knives you buy<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Mr Barr, could you please post a pic of the other knife you made with the blue G-10 scales and titanium bolsters? in addition, how much would it cost? Thanks.

I would prefer a 50/50 edge for defence.....both my chinooks have that configuration. I find that with my cutting style (mainly slicing cuts as opposed to push cuts), serrations work much better for me.

The chinook is my favourite knife due to its toughness and the solid feel. In addition,i dont think there's any evidence that the backlock will get loose, especially the one on the chinook. Go ahead and get one!!!!

In Australia, you can carry a folder in most of the states as long as you have a plausible reason for carrying it. I'm in Sydney at the moment and i find that after 9/11, most people are less concerned when they see a knife as compared to before....i use a serrated native to sharpen pencils in my ma...

Any updates on this knife???

Spyderholic, that's kind of mean, considering that i used up my 100th post on itas well<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>.....i think i figured it out now but too late<img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Edited by - hy on 11/26/2001 5:53:07 PM
