Re: Compressor Explosion

Zoiks!

I don't have one of those, and don't think I'll be getting one.

Re: Respectful feedback and ideas regarding 15V sprint runs

AZCK better known as Arizona Custom Knives is an excellent place to get a NEW or like new knife from. Yes, it may cost you a few bucks more, but if you have to have a knife that is where I go.

Re: Respectful feedback and ideas regarding 15V sprint runs

It's just another opinion in this forum, but I think they could double the size of sprints and still sell out. If they are selling out in 15 minutes to 2 days on most of these sprints they can certainly sell more, maybe double the amount of knives. But do they have the capacity to produce double the...

Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread

Sorry to hear about your ailments. I think around 10 to 15 years ago I walked 5 to 10 miles per day, 3 to 4 days a week, no problem. But then I put on all of this weight. I weighed 180 for the longest time and then I ballooned to 235! My brother(ex cop) had a hernia, they fixed it, and within 9 mont...

Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread

Great video James! I will be getting moving soon. Will be going out to see if I can walk 1 to 2 miles soon. Spring is almost here and I'm either going to walk 1 to 2 miles every other day with no problems or I'm going to ask my Dr for a rehab class(es) for my back. Spinal stenosis was my problem mor...

Re: Anyone a fan of Emerson Knives

@RustyIron

YEP! Emerson liner locks often stick. I've owned a few, but a lock that sticks open is not a problem for me for self defense. A knife that refuses to open or a lock that closes when I want it open I'd throw out. Ain't nobody got time for that!

Re: Anyone a fan of Emerson Knives

I have 2 Emerson knives. They are good knives. I like the grips they never disappoint.

- Emerson Karambit 3.2 inch fixed blade
- Emerson Tactical Kwaiken

There might be 2 others that I'd like to purchase in the future if I have the funds when they are available.

Re: What you don't like about spyderco knives?

What don't I like about Spyderco Knives? I'm very easy to please. All that I demand from anyone or any corporation is not to hurt me, rip me off or backstab me. That's pretty much it. If you don't do that to me, and you deliver what you promise in writing, verbally on a handshake, you are gold to me...

Re: African Safari?

When I was younger these adventures would have interested me. - African safari - Alaskan hunting trip - Canadian fishing trip in a remote area And while I love firearms and support 2nd Amendment organizations, I've mellowed on taking down these great beasts. Nonetheless I'd love to go with a hunting...

Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread

"Are you a Conscious Response or an Unconscious, Compulsive Reaction?" This both is and isn't martial arts-related. I've seen a muscle guy a lot like the P'd-off bodybuilder in the video go off on someone just like that and then get decked. Maybe the bodybuilder in the video had 'roid rag...

Re: March 2023 Blade Magazine

Thanks all! It's great to be part of the Forum and have a few Spydercos I can call my own. I guess that I should have typed out the letter to the editor where the guy was complaining about Spyderco winning an award at Blade's Knife Show. In the primary letter to the editor the was bashing Spyderco a...

I like Massad Ayoob. I collect his books and videos.

I don't have a knife by him yet, that would be cool.
