Scared Straight! - Prison (1978) I remember watching this when it originally aired. Mainly because they were allowing raw language that had never been allowed on TV. It was an eye-opener, that's for sure, even though I wasn't a bad kid. Younger people today have to understand that in 1978, airing t...

Admittedly, I did once have a back lock close on my finger. It was a Cold Steel Code 4 with Triad Lock. Which if we're being honest, the Triad Lock is a modified back lock. And it wasn't the lock's fault; it was 100% operator error on my part. I stupidly tried to one-hand close it after loosening up...

If you don't like back locks and liner locks, you don't have to buy them.

It's not just the blade steel either, it's also the internals. Salts are do everything knives, and virtually maintenance free. How can you not love that? ^This.^ With linered knives, I'm always far more concerned about the liners and other hardware than the blade itself. Some people say you don't n...

Just heard this sad news. RIP.

About H1 and edge retention:

I haven’t noticed any problems at all in SE H1’s edge retention at all. In fact, SE H1 holds an edge very well in my uses. And IIRC, vivi knows how to get the best out of PE H1 with his method of sharpening.

It's really funny this subject would come up. I just heard the old Blue Oyster Cult song entitled "GODZILLA" on the radio yesterday and I hadn't heard it in quite some time. Some of the older Japan made GODZILLA movies where the lips of the people are not in sync with what is supposedly b...

You're exactly right, Doc. However, as I remember it, all of the human characters in Shin Godzilla all looked and acted generic, and none of them stood out. Unlike the old school Godzilla movies, where the actors all had unique facial appearances and personalities. The actors in Shin Godzilla looked...

Chloe Bruce Chloe Bruce is a famous kicking and extreme flexibility specialist from the UK. She does an XMA style of Tae Kwon Do, but her kicking basics are rock-solid, especially her side thrust kick. And her balance and focus are impeccable. Which is something you don't often see in young martial ...

Shin Godzilla (2016) IMO, Shin Godzilla was a mixed bag. The monster itself is an interesting take on Godzilla (growing and evolving from a slithering thing). And they used the old soundtrack music by Akira Ifukube from the 1954 movie. But much of Shin Godzilla is a bunch of bland humans with no dis...

Godzilla with Broderick was actually not bad. The monster had motivations and was a monster in human eyes. The other American films made him a big protecting animal. IMO, the Broderick film shouldn't have been called Godzilla, but given another name. It didn't strike me as Godzilla; it looked like ...

Many years ago (pre-2005), I bought on average about 2 knives per month. Occasionally more. Now, even if I wasn't on a self-(and circumstances)-imposed stop on buying knives, I would be hard-pressed to actually pull the trigger and purchase any more knives, even ones I think I really want. I still o...

Shin Godzilla (2016) was an attempt to return to the ‘scary’ Godzilla. WAY better than the American versions, but still nowhere as good as the original 1954 version. But Shin Godzilla introduced a somewhat “creepy” version of Godzilla. As a kid, I did enjoy the 1960s Godzilla movies that had him fig...

Maybe they should just do away with pricing altogether and give everything away. I'm sure that won't hurt them at all. Seriously, you're blaming MAP for inflation. Get a grip. Not sure if this was directed at me or not, but I personally have no stake in this MAP issue. Just bringing a little levity...

I've got just over 5 months left until I turn 60. I don't feel almost 60. Anyway, isn't 'senior citizen' 65 and over? Hey, Junior. You can get your senior discount off your Grand Slam Breakfast for $1.99 all day at Denny's. The downside is that if you eat that slop, you might not make it to 65 when...

How about making the MAP price the same as the MSRP,
but initiate a Senior Citizen Discount?
(I turn 60 in two months)

Not a landscape photo, but one I took under the gigantic pine tree just around the corner from my house. This is only a partial view of this massive tree; the photo doesn't give the full scope of its size.
