Gaucho/Patagonian/Argentinian knives.
I was reading about the famous Gauchos of Argentina and Patagonia; the cowboys of these places, and their history is a rich and fascinating one. They carry traditionally-distinctive fixed blade knives. Here are some websites I found with these: https://www.piecesofargentina.com/shop-knives http://ww...

I was watching a movie about the British Navy sailors back in the 19th century and one of the captains began to "go overboard" in his treatment of the crew, and it seems began to have severe mental problems and was unfit for duty. In real history, both antiquated and modern, under what gro...

"Most Durable" available Spyderco Knife?
I know this can get a little subjective at times but in a general sense, based on what you all know, and you can include discontinued models from the past, as well as available models from the current lineup, folding and fixed, which Spyderco knives are, in your opinion, the toughest and most durabl...
