Wow! I've been waiting and waiting for this little guy to hit the market. I wonder what is causing all the delays. To me it would have been just as good to re-release
the Gen 1 but with a wire clip.

End Fight in 3 Seconds I REALLY like this video. What he says is very true. There is a world of difference between FIGHTING and SELF-DEFENSE, and a difference between self-defense and self-OFFENSE.

So about the Kahr Delica type/shape?

If Kahr is done with the model, and by all accounts they are per Mike Janich- what could be made of the modality? Could we get an FFG with the same blade shape in a non Kahr color? They seemed to sell well but Kahr didn’t see the margins as equitable for a gun company. Is there any way to get some a...

Re: Gotta rethink my hunting/gutting knife…S110V FAIL!

I use spyderco pocket knifes for skinning ,quartering, and breaking down my deer to pack out of the woods. The last 2 I used were the siren in S90, and the Ayoob SE in cruwear. Both knifes were still shaving sharp afterwards. This includes splitting the ribs. https://i.ibb.co/1QRJMyB/20230218-12062...

Re: Ernie Emerson is doing another KNIFE Auction

WOW. Well, if there are people who really want those handmade knives of his, and are willing to pay that amount of $$$ for them, then more power to him. If I were a (good) knife maker, and people were willing to have bidding wars at such high prices for my custom pieces, I’d charge those kinds of p...

Re: Buck 110 question

I had a bunch of 110's and 112's over the years, starting in the 1970's. The design is for the most part outdated these days, more of a brick if you really think about it. I did like the 110 Lite though. The Cold Steel Voyager was a much better design IMO, I am talking about the old ones, excellent...

Re: New UKPK imminent?

I just can't get my head around all these multiple choices of what's really the exact same knife, rather than giving potential / repeat buyers something new - like a Wharncliffe, or whatever new. This seems to be the way of Spyderco recently. The exact same knife repeated with different steels and ...

Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread

I have mentioned before having a son who is a high school (year round with club) wrestler and watching them drill certain things like a snap down-go behind and knowing very few wrestlers snap their opponent onto all fours, bothers me when it’s allowed by coaches. Gable Steveson is one of the very f...

Re: Anybody know if there is a Yojimbo 1 re release on the horizon?

I think I paid $85 for my old smurf. If I could buy back some of the spydies I sold off over the years, I think that and my old lil temp s60v leaf would be my first two picks. I found a NOS Lil Temp Leaf S60V and passed it to a forum member here. The pocket clip was just bad. I want a Yo 1 worse th...

I’m sorry but all those flow FMA drills look like the same TMA stuff that goes out the window when it is for real.
