This is my favorite time of year. When the leaves turn & the air gets CRISP! Those leaves sizzle and become absolutely beautiful overnight...the crisp air never ever fails to bring back fond memories of football seasons past!
Here's a pic taken a few...
I was never a huge Cold Steel fan but liked what I owned for them. Which, at the time, was a few of their south african made machetes and a pair of large Voyagers I eventually gifted to co-workers at an...
Here is an article from The Economist on the importance of handwriting. This affects memory and improves it and a lot more. It is one of the things I had to teach my university students so they could remember what they were to learn. As wonderful as...
Any recommendations for a budget friendly revolver? The Taurus 856 is around $300 but I don’t know much about their quality. Apparently it’s getting better from what I hear. The LCR and J Frame revolvers are a bit more but are they worth it?
Before we all knew the appeal of spyderco cutlery what was your very first knife? Mine was a victorinox classic sd, and I still have it after all these years, missing the toothpick and tweezers of course but otherwise still fully serviceable.
A recent thrift shop find, and bought for a fart and three marbles (dutch expression, meaning for next to nothing)
From research i learned that J&R Dodge Sheffield didn't manufacture anything themselves, but instead bought high quality cutlery, razors and...
This has been coming up in general discussion lately and I thought rather than let existing threads derail any further we could start a discussion here.
It's kind of mind boggling to me watching folks amass giant collections of 3-4 blade pocket knives. I...
So I nearly forgot about this eclipse, mainly because my plan to go into the annular zone didn't happen. As I was trying to find when it started, it was already going and I had about 40 minutes before it hit max coverage here. We only got about 80% here...
The stone has some mileage and was kept clean using nagura stone. I want to use 90 Sic lapping grit on float glass to refresh F100 side. Is the lapping grit too fine? Would 46grit sic powder be better?
In response to the one Brother who just posted on this section of the forum and informed us that he recently made a belt. It got me to thinking about all the ads I've heard here locally in recent times where I live. There's been a lot of talk recently...
I know that Mr Tueler did not want his research turned into a drill. Nonetheless here we are.
My brother is a retired Chicago Police Officer (25 years ret) now providing armed security for properties. He knows how I feel about this subject, and he knows...
While we were at BLADE Show West last week, attorneys for the Appellants filed their response brief opposing Hawaii’s petition to the Ninth Circuit for a rehearing En Banc in an attempt to overturn the recent 3-0 panel decision in Teter v. Lopez that...
This guy Liquid Cobra has been here over 10 years and has contributed greatly to the forum. Over the years I've always enjoyed reading his timely posts. Well today is his Birthday and we all need to wish this good Brother a very Happy Birthday.

Sometimes i remodel worn out or discarded meat carving knives into very narrow shank-like knives, which i then give away to certain Chefs & butchers.
This old Swibo i did a few years back, and it has quickly become the favorite bird & trout knife of a...
I've thought about this subject for quite a while before I finally got the nerve to put it out there for public consumption. Because I'm more than certain I'm going to have a core group of folks calling me a Conspiracy Theorist ( Whatever in the heck that...
Knife Rights today filed a Motion for Summary Judgment in its federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of portions of the Federal Switchblade Act. A motion for summary judgment asks the court for a judgment on the merits of the case before the...
Led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, 17 Attorneys General have filed an amicus (Friend of the Court) brief supporting Hawaii's petition to the Ninth Circuit for a rehearing En Banc in an attempt to overturn the recent 3-0 panel decision in Teter...
It's that time of year! List your favorite Halloween time movies and recommendations/comndemnations. Anthing goes, as long as it's spooky, scary, or relevant!
For me, I have many, but most recent I watched same pretty good ones:
AI is taking over whether you know it or like it. Soon all forums, social media, and email that you engage with will be AI generated. Will you refuse to participate or will you engage the AI as if it is human?
The answer is…nobody. But, this is just too **** rich to ignore and perfectly illustrates how idiotic is Vermont's switchblade length restriction. For years we have been working with our good friend, Vermont Rep. Pat Brennan, to repeal the state's...
With all the distaste I see on forums for Spydercos unique looks, has anyone ever had someone tell them in person they thought their Spyderco they were using was weird or ugly?
I recently purchased a Magnacut Inkosi Insingo large blade from a Chris Reeve listed Dealer.
When comparing it to the same model in S45Vn they have made allot of changes you can really tell in the way it cuts I have owned many Chris Reeve Sebenza Inkosi...
Not sure if this has been brought up before but, Wicked Wax by DiPrete Forge (Fred DiPrete) is just excellent wax. It's also 100% food safe. Absolutely excellent for both carbon and stainless steels.
I've really enjoyed this wax thus far. Ive got it on...
