it has been discussed many times why the military handle and blade are the lengths they are. obviously more blade could be fit into the handle, but to maximize cutting power this is what they came up with. there are a lot of big blades with "better" blade to handle ratio, almost none of th...

yeah, that video renewed my conviction that the military is ridiculously tough.

most notable thing I've cut with mine is my index finger.

patina is essentially just mild corrosion. just about anything mildly acidic is good for getting that light patina color. there are many techniques and acids used, there's no real right way to do it. you could stick it in a potato over night, cut up a bunch of fruit and let it sit for fifteen minute...

was really about to cancel my pre order when it shipped out of the blue. then was contemplating selling it. as soon as I saw it I knew I couldn't give it up. went straight into my pocket last night. kc did first class shipping. http://imageshack.us/a/img41/5173/f4z9.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img109...

kc just shipped my pre order, not sure if they have more in stock, worth a check. Delica btw

I don't see how it takes away from those who like their sprint models. does it change what you have? not at all. I can only imagine it taking away from sprint flippers, but they can all rot anyways IMO. and I can sort of understand it affecting people with hard core collections, but it's once again ...

just fly to golden, Co.

oh, and last time I checked you can get two Delicas and a six pack of craft beer for the same price as a "custom" grip.

bm does a custom shop with their grips. choose handle color, three blade profiles, combo or plain edge, clip style/finish, etc...

sometimes those spots creep up on you no matter how careful you are. no big deal.

personally I don't believe in oiling the blade of a user, unless it will be sitting unused for some time. those in more humid areas might need to, though.

a little too much for ultra light backpacking. a decent size, if a bit too thick, for average camping/hiking/backpacking.

I think the last one of these I saw on Ebay went for twice as much as the original price. ($400+)

just pulled it out of my work pants to snap a picture

interesting stuff. I think one thing to note is not just one's perception of "sharp" but also one's perception of "dull". I feel the average working man has a much more relaxed interpretation of both of these words compared to people who have mastered the art of sharpening. for i...

that new Jason statham movie a bad guy repeatedly uses a police.

they are not rust proof just rust resistant be sure to rince with fresh water they are rust proof unless you are in an environment which would melt your lungs and boil your blood. obviously you should rinse anyways, but that's because the salt and grime can grit it up, or become difficult to clean....

no email on my pre order yet...

speaking of 2mm thick Centofantes and sharpening away the shoulder...



I use it as hard as anything else.
