I currently have a Boker Nano Decade edition BNIB in the mail. I just received my wood scaled Kershaw Skyline and Leatherman wave late last week.

Our lawnmower recently broke down and my wife kept bugging me to get it fixed. However other things just kept cropping up that needed my attention like cleaning out the garage, fixing the car, going fishing with my buddies, and all those kinds of things....

Another favorite was on last...

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’ve wanted to get an Opinel No 08 with a stainless blade for a while. A local brick & mortar store got a bunch of the 08’s in with the premium woods, oak, walnut, and olive. The salesman let me look them over and pick the one I wanted.

I usually...

There was some guy bragging on BF about how he will buy knives that he intends to return to the place where he bought it. When people buy knives with the intention of returning them it puts a financial strain on the business that relies upon the sale of...

Hello all, new to the forums but not new to Spyderco (own just shy of a couple dozen) nor new to the fascination with steel. I posted this on another board but wanted to come hear to post as well as talk about Spydies!

Some years back I became very...

I had a company laser cut a new blade for a Spin I have that was snapped in half. I went with 440c so costs wouldn't get to high because I was already having other things cut out it. I need to get the bevels ground and have it heat treated. I don't have a...

In the spring and fall we get what meteorologists call mountain wave clouds. The first picture was out of season from last Sunday’s sunset. The second picture was from last fall. What are your sunsets like?

Cedric & Ada Gear and Outdoors just posted a video with a ceramic knife that lacks one of the big drawbacks of ceramic knives. It's elastic. Sounds quite interesting in my opinion.

Hello,

The subject says it all. I am looking for a recommendation for someone who can regrind some knives for me. I've reached out to a few people whose work I've seen online, but they were either unavailable or did not respond. I'm looking for someone...

I have suffered lower back pain since I injured it during a move my wife and I were making years ago. It has gotten worse after my accident and sometimes I hurt so bad I cannot get out of bed. I went to see an acupuncturist that we know. She did the usual...

Anyone, here, cook with a pressure cooker? We have a Philips Pressure Cooker. I've made tuna casserole, spaghetti sauce, and just yesterday, pork rice. It is so easy to cook with. Very little clean up, at all.

It will bake cakes, too, but I am not much...

Just curious if any members here ride motorcycles! Weekend warrior? Daily commute?

The last time that I was involved in martial arts full-time was 15 years ago. I study far more martial arts now than I ever did. I review tape (DVDs) and buy books on subject matter that cover the arts, combatives, and mindset.

Am I happy about this?...

Hi forum folks. I haven’t been as active on this forum as of late because I’ve been busy trying to learn how to make my own knives. I’ve made 3 so far and I thought I would share them here for anyone interested. Honestly, it is a very fun hobby that I...

Tom Brady doesn't want to resign with the Patriots... Is this a ploy or is he really done with NE? Where do you think he will sign? I am thinking Chargers.

My criteria is pretty much 1) Green Canvas Micarta...

I recently started buying some GEC models but I have real difficulty finding a version of any model that I want that isn't sold out instantly. It's like wanting a Spyderco sprint or exclusive but not knowing where to look. Do you all have a go to place...

(Hope this interests ANYONE :eek: ;) )

I'm almost 47 years old. I've seen a good share of TV shows. For me personally, Game Of Thrones was/is the best show of all time. Hard to imagine it will ever be superseded.
