I guess I'm opposed to idea that this isn't a good knife. it's been in my pocket at least 5 of the 7 days in the past however many weeks I've had it. It bumped the Lum Tanto out, which i had been carrying for 3 months straight, with very little change. The slim handle tapers smaller toward the oppos...

Cold Steel Kobun. large and small Ti-lite. Great edge geometry, but it doesn't make up for the complete and utter uselessness of the rest of the package. The kobun has lost its finish because of the sheath, and the ti-lite's are very good looking, but handle terribly. no most cold steel for me.

I am a very big Volkswagen fan. But also anything European: Audi, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lotus, Volvo, and a few others. I'm driving an 03 Golf right now. i really want to get a Passat wagon, with V6 4motion, and twincharge it. But that's far in the ...

For me, it's anything from the "golden age" of spyderco: Zowoda, Chinook, Herbst, Ayoob, Gunting, Khalsa, Lums, Shabaria and Spydercard. These have been some of the best collaborations in the long line of Spydercos. Plus the Temperance and Lil Temp, Vesuvius, and Spyderench designed in hou...

Prime Rib! Au Jus! Cooked just past rare! With a mound of mashed potatoes! And brown gravy! I make some heavy demands for my last meal. A second choice would be a basic meat lasagna with breadsticks. But cooked fresh (or is baked the proper term?) and served right away. Not that "sits in a pan ...

i have one. too big. don't use it, don't carry it. for AUS 8 it did come incredibly sharp. the 4 inch version also sees no use.

and unfortunately, i tried to sell them, planning on turning the money into a new spyderco purchase, and nobody was interested. not even a pawn shop.

One Microtech trodoon, and a few other possible Microtechs. Plus a bunch of kitchen knives.

Just saw it for the second time last night. Still as good the second time around!

I'm not really much of a beer drinker, but New Belgium is the only thing i drink, mostly Fat Tire, occasionally Sunshine Wheat. The only other beers we can call our own are Coors, and Budweiser. Neither of which i like, although Bud is better. Sorry I couldn't help more, but the Total Bev sixpack is...

Being an Alpine nut, i have heard them, a few times. The Type R speakers are built to be used with or without a sub, and get very good sound, both high and low end, and are fantastic alone when amped properly. The Type S speakers are built to be used more with some bass help, and get good clarity in...

Cayman or cayenne, probably cayenne. i would be surprised though that they didn't fabricate a brand new cover that fits better. Also, since Audi is owned by VW, and VW and Porsche have worked together in the past, it wouldn't be as strange for an Audi to be present as it would be for a Mercedes comm...

My guess would be a mercedes. i haven't seen a volkswagen or an audi with that shape. it looks very similar to the car they designed for chrysler. but a coupe with a big engine wouldn't get that kind of mileage. very strange

Pawn Shop? not the best plan, but still more money than no money.

But really, life is tough sometimes. I'm finding that out, financially at least. Hope it all works out well for you.
