None old Ladybug (generation 1 + 2; except Ladybug CF) with FRN handle has more than one :spyder: on the handle and all have AUS-6 blade steel. You have a regular old red Ladybug with AUS-6 steel; congratulations :) But wait a minute, the specs are all well and good, but if memory serves me proper ...

Wait a minute... NGK hosted on 2 different sites?

So I start surfing around NGK today and suddenly I run into a new site skin... hosted on an entirely different server. Still says New Graham, but there's something about storefront-hosting dot com. Is our favorite pharmacy changing host sites or is this something only I see since I've been tweaking ...

Tech Question: Stable Long-Term Digital Storage

So I went to defrag my computer yesterday and found that each drive on my laptop has less than 10% storage space left (Windows XP defragmenter needs 15% to work properly), and I realized that soon I'll be out of room. I already have a 500GB external hard drive that I can back up everything onto, but...

Thanks uhiforgot. Good to see it worked well for you. I like your adhesive idea even better. Anything to help a fellow southpaw :cool: ;) I learned later on that it's incredibly important to use relatively light pressure when reprofiling not so much for the sake of not taking too much off, but so a...

I am looking to reprofile some of my :spyder: s to 15 degrees per side. I've been working with the the Sharpmaker diamond rods, but it's sloooow going. Does anyone know the grit of the SM diamond rods? I'm wondering if the DMT extra coarse will remove metal significantly faster? I remember someone ...

Whynot, First off, you've done some beautiful photography here ESPECIALLY with the Yosemite shots. Your pictures are not like postcards found at the tourist trap shops; I've seen more than enough of those photoshopped recyclables. The shot of Half Dome is slightly fogged like when I first saw it ove...

Ok, now THIS is good news! Thirty-five bucks is a great deal for this whole package; ****, it's even pretty good at 40. It's sorely tempting to buy one of each so I can say I've got one of each of the originals :cool: It's only a matter of time until this really takes off. Crap, I just tried creatin...

I've handled a cricket several times, but do not own one so it's kinda hard for me to offer up any constructive criticism. Ask yourself this, though: Is there anything about the Cricket you don't like? If people were to come to a general consensus about dislikes in the design then that would be the ...

B.O.B. for Earthquakes

Earlier this week, the ground beneath my feet suddenly decided to violently relocate itself. A 5.4 earthquake centered in Chino Hills (about 5 miles from where I was at the time) scared the living crap out of me not so much because it was an earthquake, but because I realized that my grandpa built t...

Zen, you bring up a good thought, and I think it's worth an extra $5 to $10 easily, but there's a catch. I'd like to see it first on a brand new model, not even a variant, but something that's never been seen. Nobody is going to notice that extra 10 bucks on the price tag, nor might the guy behind t...
