Actually these are my first two purchases after joining in 2011, the Manix was first.

Sorry, don’t own a Shaman. Bought this Superleaf in 2011 right when I joined here.

Re: Spydercos & Guns

No offense Wartstein, I pray daily that this Country never turns into a Germany, I’m worried! There are good things and bad things about every place on earth. The trick is to find a place where you love the good things, and you can tolerate the bad things. There are many good things about Germany (...

Re: Spydercos & Guns

I love guns, I love knives, and honestly the banner just looked normal to me. But...because of this thread I really like it a lot more now!

The way I feel about my Knipex pliers is the same way I feel about Snap-On screwdrivers, the best!

Still have a Sims Superlight and Tony Alva board under a bed somewhere in my house? Both are from 1978 or 79?

Re: Laid my love to rest today

So sorry to hear Naperville, losing a dog like this is no different than losing a family member, cause that's exactly what they are! My last lost was an almost 15 year old German Wirehaired Pointer. I took my younger son with me to the Vet to have her put down, to this day I'm so glad my son went wi...

Re: C-60 Ayoob Campaign: No I Won't Shut Up

Starting to worry I won't be able to buy one. I've been looking for a Zwear Shaman and the only source at this point is EBAY, which I refuse to support the flipping. If the C-60 is going to be in a fancy steel, I'm concerned there will be another sellout spree. It's a backlock. Doubtful it will be ...

Re: Spydercos for steak knives?

I have a serrated Z-Cut that I bought at SMKW, it's an excellent food-prep knife, tomato slicing doesn't get any better! I've honestly never used mine as a steak knife but I have to doubt it would work great. As mentioned earlier it does flex quite a bit, it struggles a little with slicing a fresh h...

Re: Street Beat Sprint - Let's Get Serious!

Yep, great poll and great timing as I’ve been looking at a Forge & Foundry Patch, both are small, similar length fixed blades. The Patch has 80crv2 carbon steel. A high-viz toxic green (something like the new Salts) with G10 scales, and I’d like to try out 80crv2. It would make a great camping, ...

Re: Wharncliffe Para Military 2 CUTLERY SHOPPE EXCLUSIVE

I swear this is like Deja Vu, having just recently bought both a 204P and a M390 PM2, this one is probably a pass for me but I swear I was going to start a post yesterday at work about possibly making a Wharncliffe PM2 but just never got around to posting it. I agree with bearfacedkiller, I bet it’s...

Years of carrying a Military have taught me to just dedicate my right front pocket to my knife and if I do carry anything else in that pocket it's not something I need to pull out often.
This here! My right front pocket is dedicated to carrying a knife only.
