Yup, I ordered a couple spare clips (SFO) and they sent them with screws and a little tube of blue Loctite also. In a store, the Loctite costs as much as the clips did. :D

Ok, I have downloaded it and fully enjoy it, but my opinion still stands. Anything other than the Traditional version is fine for someone's own concerts/performances etc. But, I still believe the full on standard Traditional version is the only version to be played at ballgames, services, etc. Basic...

Rocky boots are the only ones I've found that stay waterproof until they are too worn out to wear. I'm on my third pair (6" steeltoe) of the same identical model for work, and have 2 other ones for other stuff (8" steeltoe and Wellington). I have a pair of Redwings I tried for 10 years now...

Ok, I'm torn. I am fully against anyone that taking our National Anthem and making it their own, namely at sporting events and the like. It is OUR Anthem not yours, don't mess with it. But in this case, this is different, they did not make it about themselves, it is very obvious it is about the Anth...

Well it is kinda interesting. I was in a place I could afford to get some new ones about 1 year ago and decided that I needed something to replace my G-10 E4 I've carried for 4 years, and and Endura of some sort for 7. Well, I tried 5-6 that I thought I really liked, including a Sebenza. All great k...

We were swimming with about 15-20 others at the lake last summer and had killed two other Water Moccasin as we were about that day. Around 2:30 one swam by not 18"' from my 6 y.o. on a raft. He was about 8' from me and the WM was well passed before I could get to him, but needless to say, after...

Honestly, any quality lube that works for you. I like QuickRelease at the moment, but have used Militec-1, Rem Oil, Ballistol, even Mineral Oil, generic slickum, Silicon spray, SLP 2000, others? I do like CorrosionX for protection though. It works well in a pinch for an all-in-one to carry traveling...

I consider Queen to be a step above Case in quality, the Mountain Man will be plenty stout enough to break down boxes and such.

Frost knives are low quality, import, somewhat bread and butter of SMKW. I doubt they would sell well on a knife forum. Fleamarket booth would be the best place to unload them.

Frosts MORA of Sweden however are excellent users, but still not much as a collectable.
