Great stuff. Lovely knives.
Picture of Dragon on wall is pretty neat as well.

Yep, we have whitetail spiders here in NZ as well. Got bitten(2x) by spider in sea boot. One bite worse than other, probably first one. Tried every alternative medicine we could possibly think of. Each helped for 24 hrs, then return to ulcerative decomposition. Getting very close to ankle bone. Went...

I thought the Blob fish was just a invention for the Men in Black 2 movie.
Brilliant by the way..

Those look just like my grandfather's Dentures he lost over the side of boat a few years back...

Hi Stuart, have only just seen this.
Will do so as soon as practical.
Cheers, Wayne

Unless of course, you’re Australian. In which case making fun of everyone is your “Patriotic Chore”. Ah, hahaha, ah, hahaha, ah, hahaha! To that end ... How do Kiwi’s find their sheep in long grass? Delightful! :rolleyes: [/quote] Sorry, only just saw this. Have been away, so many blondes, so little...

If anyone is interested in Carnivores and their proclivities, (nasty habits) any of Peter Captstisk's or Corbett's s books will keep you enthralled.
Quite humbling when one is feeling on top of the food chain....

It was the (spoiler alert) Leopard standing so close to the Couple walking blissfully past mere feet away, in a big city that shocked me. It is one thing to consider large Predators in the Wilderness, but it just seemed the Leopard had adapted to the point it is normall environment. When thought abo...

I've just been watching BBC's "Planet Earth 2" Disc 2 episode 6, has a fascinating video using Thermal camera, of pigs and their Predators in a City of India. I won't spoil the surprise, it is awesome.. Well worth a look if you get a chance. I don't think I'll be wandering around Mumbai at...

I had an ESEE 6 and ESEE 4 in 1095 when I was a teen.

Gosh, you are doing well for your age there Emanuel..

Yes, remove as much Kerosene as possible, otherwise it will slow down ultrasonic cleaning. I just rinse items in strong detergent separately. For small batches where you are probably tossing solution out each day it won't make much difference. It is the hot water which does 90℅ of cleaning. Great fo...

South East Queensland, Australia is also being burnt out again.
Family have evacuated 2nd time in 2months.
Their B.O.B sure is becoming familiar..

On the solution subject, don't use any volatile fluids. No kerosene, diesel, etc. They can (will) explode. I do use Kero. for removing larget amounts of Tripoli polishing compound. This is Tallow and Aluminium oxide, which is quite greasy so benefits from a pre soak in kerosene.(separate container) ...

Hi Bloke, in my Trade as Jeweler, we use them constantly. DON'T use it without liquid OR anything in bowl. They need something in bowl to work on, if not, the transducer will eat through the bottom of bowl, pretty quickly (hours). Best used in a sound proof cupboard or use earplugs. Will cause tinni...

When we sold the house we talked to an old estate sale auctioneer. We didn't have enough stuff for him to bother with but he told me that the collectibles market peaked in the 1980s and it would never come back. In his opinion, the collectors were dying out and young people had no interest in colle...

I swear by vitamin B to prevent depression. My Family have issues with this problem and those that take bit. B on a regular basis all agree it helps to the point where if not taken, life can be a drag. Maybe not for everyone, but a lot better than some of the addictive drugs that can and are prescri...

Hi SEF, yep still here. Lurking.
Getting cold. Maybe time to sail away to warmer climate..
Be well. I always enjoy your leading Topics.

Hi, yes I'm here
The Other knife is a Victorinox Skipper, which is used for opening the "eyes" not the body..
The Skipper is a great knife, but NOT up to cracking open coconuts.
cheers, and yes, I definitely been logged in recently... probably to someone's annoyance !

I know of two people who have had great success with getting rid of Kidney stones when apparent, by drink pure (undiluted) orange juice which dissolved the stones to stage they were passed as small smooth crystals like sand. One chap said that if He hadn't been peeing into a small container, he woul...
