Hopefully, you are spending more time reading books than watching the Idiot Box , right ? :D I enjoy reading books on the subject of Greco-Roman history. I'm reading Rubicon by Tom Holland now. I recommend the following historical novels - that is if you...
Well, I got a hunk of leather in the mail a couple of days ago, a double shoulder of 7-9 oz. veg-tan good for making knife sheaths. So that's what I'm doing! Right now I'm working on a sheath for a 3.5 in. Dexter paring knife that I want to be able to use...
I have always loved Swedish made steel and knives since getting into knives. Other than Fallkniven what official issue and private purchase knives do Swedish military members carry? Mora? EKA? Foreign brands?
Can any of you tell me about those dyes that can be used to change the color of FRN? I have a camo colored handle I would like to make NASA White so it looks like an astronaut knife.

Any recommendations on a decent flashlight for outdoor/emergency use? Looking to keep it in my backpack while traveling. Don’t need anything extreme or tactical.
I wanted to start a thread to talk about machetes since I have been thinking about and looking at them a lot lately. Right now I have a super cheap Harbor Freight machete that sucks pretty much in every way, but... it is better than nothing and has helped...

It's 80F to 85F and I'm picking up branches that have fallen so the lawn can be mowed here in N. Central Illinois. I suppose those living in warmer climates have had shorts on for quite a while, but 1st day for me.
My battery-powered Black & Deck mower finally bit the dust after many years. The blade literally sheared off at the screw area as I was mowing some very low grass. I suspect the blade had been out of alignment for awhile, anyway.

Everyone, throw out a pie chart or spreadsheet today in honor of Bolster's Birthday. Or maybe make a pie chart or spreadsheet. It's not in memoriam. I'm not exactly sure how that works up at the statistician's headquarters.
This thread could either generate lots of interesting discussion or die a quick death, depending on the number (or lack) of potential responses. The reason I’m starting it is that, IME, there are LOTS of people who have done at least a little martial arts...
I read that when war like in the Middle East happens oil prices rise. But I also read the USA gets 60 percent of oil from Canada. This makes no sense for US oil price to rise if US only gets fractional oil from there. Explain, please.

Knife Rights has filed a federal lawsuit challenging Minnesota's complete ban on switchblades (automatically opening knives). Despite the Supreme Court's binding Second Amendment precedent, the State of Minnesota virtually completely prohibits the...
I thought I would share our mini-adventure from a couple of weeks ago.
Living on the south coast of England means the ferry ports to France are very near. As SWMBO won’t pillion on anything larger, we took our Vespa, which has the advantage of an...
I know a few of us have been checking out CRKs recently, and others have carried them for years. I wanted to create a centralized thread for folks to show off their CRKs and discuss the brand.
I first encountered CRK knives at the specialty cutlery shop...

this morning i went out to a local park to see the snow on the trees before the wind blows it all down. i didn't manage to get a shot of my pacific salt, but i figured a lot of us probably take photos of just the landscape when we're out photographing our...

The Pontiac GTO is apparently being resurrected for 2025, including the Judge. I have tried to post the link but the people who posted it don't allow it to be shared on other sites.
Anyway, this is Great news for all muscle car lovers.
I’ve had this thread drafted up for months and with a couple recent threads about fishing I figured it would be a good time for a general fishing thread.
