"Fact: bears beats Battlestar Galactica." --Jim Halpert Battlestar Galactica. Either the new or old! I love them both. Excellent list! But it's definitely missing Battlestar Galactica! Not sure how I have missed this series but it's definitely on my radar now. @chuck_roxas45, also if you ...

Re: The Last Gun You Bought

Re: German Made Stuff: Quality Superb

Knipex. Anything else just disappoints. Whaaaaat?! I had never even heard of Knipex until two months ago. A buddy whipped out what looked like newfangled ChannelLock. He had them because they were spec'ed for use on a particular project. I was BLOWN AWAY at how nice these pliers were. Regular Chann...

Re: Manix 2 LW needs an update badly.

Added to my post above: My take on the Manix 2 ergos: Yes, it is indeed a great knife (quoting you) "for people who need to cut a lot of material a lot of the time"! But for me that is true for frequent use (so doing a lot of shorter tasks), but not so much extended/prolongued use. When u...

Re: What knives are you buying with your stimulus $$?

I may have lied. I got my stimulus, and I want a Becker bk9. Too bad smoky mountain knife works is out, they have them for $80. I may have to wait...
