I remember reading an article by/about Fred Perrin once where he stated that he often carried an unsharpened drone/trainer for defense. He made the point that it would be difficult to portray himself as having acted in self-defense when his attacker had multiple cuts/stab wounds. "Fred often us...

Delica for defense

I know there are more "purpose built" defensive knives than the Delica, but in terms of being inconspicuous, readily available, etc. I was wondering 2 things: 1. Are there any resources (videos, books, articles, etc.) focused on the delica for self-defense carry? and 2. What are other folk...

Worker...rarity?

So I just received a C01 Worker off Ebay. The seller did not know what it was and just listed it as an old, good condition Spyderco ATS-55. I spend about $20 and was really happy as I have always wanted a worker but they were always so pricey. I rarely see workers under $75-100 and am unsure on just...

I am on my 4th Toyota and will buy again. I literally tried to kill a little Corolla in college (10 yrs ago) and I saw it on the road the other day. For comparison, I gave Ford a chance about 7 years ago and spent literally 1 weekend a month getting a particular recall fixed for 4 months. Same probl...

The actual short story of Quantum of Solace is about a dinner party at which Bond listens to a story, no actual action from Bond. Still a really interesting story about human relationships and how we treat each other. Definitely worth tracking down and reading. Just my $.02 but it seems the Craig mo...

I'm probably the only knife carrier in an office of about 70. Most others are not NKP though so never much of a hassle. I usually just go with my copilot and a Leatherman Micra with a photon attached. Fridays is jeans day and my SS Delica usually just comes along because it is already clipped to my ...

I get it...now I get it

I was never big on hawkbills, just never took the time to try them. However, I was Christmas shopping for a knife friend and found a great deal on a Harpy (a second from the SFO) via KnifeBST [thanks Jim!]. I could not believe what I was missing out on. Upon opening up the Harpy and playing with it ...

As someone who does Child Protective Services for a living, I can tell you this is unfortunately not an exception to the norm. In fact when dealing with kids left alone cases, we often cite examples like this to try to make a point. Hopefully law enforcement and CPS were called in and at least justi...

1st Byrd - wow!

So my niece was looking for a knife for her boyfriend and didn't have a lot of $$. I suggested we look at Byrds. After a bit online, she really liked the SS Byrd Cara Cara in CE. So we ordered and got it for less than $20, shipping included. It arrived yesterday and I have to say that the word is......
