Re: NCAA Football 2023

Mercy, what a game! Ohio State defeats Notre Dame as time expires! The Irish defense played absolute lights out all night.....just a shame they lost this game. If they had put 11 players on the field, the defense might have pulled it out at the end. Are you serious Tom? You mean they only had 10?!?...

Re: NCAA Football 2023

It's interesting that when Colorado went 1-11 in 2022, they actually did _better_ against Oregon. 2022 score: 49-10. (Oregon by 39 points) (https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/401404030) 2023 score: 42-6. (Oregon by 36 points) (https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/4015...

Re: NCAA Football 2023

I'm also feeling for Doc Dan after last weekend. I'm holding my breath because it looks like it's going to be a rough season for the SEC. Hopefully the Tide recover and Saban pulls them back together for the rest of the season.

I read up on the Tez Walker thing. That's some weapons grade stupidity. The NCAA needs to to be either eliminated or totally reformed.

Re: Can anyone recommend good fabric shears?

We do quite a lot of sewing (and cutting fabric) at work. I've gone through many pairs of fabric cutting scissors over the years. Best advice for 'great value, pretty darn good': https://www.amazon.com/Fabric-Scissors-Tailor-Sewing-Shears/dp/B089SKLNN4/ref=sr_1_4_sspa?crid=8DL5ZV8C4ADU&keywords=...

Re: Sold Out Dates for Mules?

With all the praise showered on 10V & K390, I'm gobsmacked on how MT26 in A11 took over 4 years to sell out. Same issue with PD#1...everybody loves Cru-wear...but over 3 years to sell out? I was also very surprised that they were available for so long. I laid in a supply of both the A11 and the...

Very nice. Looks like a great trip. And congratulations to your daughter. “Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go.” ― Truman Capote How crowded was it? I've been to Venice a couple times, and I've encountered everything from 'not too many people' to 'wall to wall people'...

Re: To heck with Ceramic Coating

I've never done ceramic on a car. I think I just don't care enough. We treat our cars as tools, so while we maintain them and take care of them, we never go in for waxing and polishing, or detailing. Maybe that's just my excuse for being lazy, though. :)

Re: Why carry two?

I always carry a 'beater' knife that I can loan to someone who asks 'do you have a knife?' My primary knife is generally one that I'm not willing to hand to anyone who asks that question.

Re: Am I missing out on S110V?

I've been able to put rust on s90v, but never on s110v. In my mind, the advantage of s110v is for people who require additional stain resistance over what s90v offers.

Re: Griptilian

I sold my Grips and only use the Doug Ritter variant sold through Knifeworks. I prefer the blade shape of it. I also have had better luck with the Hogue ones (I own three) than the old Benchmade version.

Re: Knife trends you just don't understand?

I agree on most flippers, and especially front flippers. I just can't get into the front flippers, and some flippers are fun, but mostly I end up using them just for that fun factor. And I also agree on the deep carry clips. On some knives I definitely like them, but a lot of work and EDC I want the...
