Re: S90V Love ~

I love and EDC my S90V knives more than any other knives. Would be a great steel for a Street Beat!

Re: Corona Virus, Chinese Origin, Now In the USA

Spyderco might have shortages eventually. If you've been looking at a specific knife, and know it is made in China, then buy now!

Re: Corona Virus, Chinese Origin, Now In the USA

Did you two freak out over Y2K as well?? I try to never be in the position of "freaking out" by planning ahead. I'm not freaked out now, but of course if things get out of control maybe I would. For Y2K I was a systems analyst, and my job was to go out and make sure systems were up to dat...

Re: Corona Virus, Chinese Origin, Now In the USA

Pandemic's do not come along that often. I understand why people are apprehensive about spending anything on this. In the US less than 1,000 are under observation and what? 50 in quarantine? But pandemics have shaped the history of the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemic It doesn't really...

Re: Corona Virus, Chinese Origin, Now In the USA

I started following Jim Cramer (stocks program) on YouTube. He has talked about the coronavirus quite a few times recently. I need more hours in the day to watch all of the business news. The US Senate had a meeting where they discussed this event and how the pharma industry is in bad shape in the U...

Re: Corona Virus, Chinese Origin, Now In the USA

Yes Walmart is going to have problems if this persists.

I "get" having a global economy, but having everything in China or India for pharma alone makes no sense. If China does not recover quickly, they say that they could end up shutting down hospitals.

I scrape as many news stories as I can and watch YouTube videos all day. I follow all of the major business channels through YouTube. The fallout is going to be in the hundreds of billions.

Prepping is a mindset. A lifestyle. Grown ups do it. If you are ready for a little setback or toss in the ocean, you're ready to run with the big boys.

Re: Corona Virus, Chinese Origin, Now In the USA

NOTE: I'm NOT saying that it is going to break out in the US. I've been prepping since 2017, and now I'm concentrating my efforts on this specific disease, COVID-19. Everything that I am buying will leave me prepared for 5 to 25 years. The goods do not spoil for 5 to 25 years minimum. It's just an ...

Re: Corona Virus, Chinese Origin, Now In the USA

My thoughts exactly Nick. Thanks for being another voice of reason here. Yes, it's something worth monitoring...but nothing to go into full survivor mode over here in the US. IF the US gets to say 10,000 cases with an increase of 500-1,000 cases per day or every few days...that's when I may begin t...

Re: Toughness Rankings for Low Alloy Carbon Steels

Glad to see 80CrV2 and 52100 up above 1095. I have several fixed blades in 80CrV2 and 52100 and now I like them even more.

I do not wish to intrude, it is my first comment, please excuse me. My eyes are popping out of their sockets! I have thirty or forty edges (also by Spyderco) and I have given hard work to many of them. It's time to give a Bowie a job. I see in disbelief that the Providence, my next acquisition, is ...
