Hey, everyone:
Recently I've seen several threads in Off-Topic that have made me do a double-take. We try to give you a considerable amount of latitude in the Off-Topic section and we try to keep our rules as simple as possible. Our community is filled...
A small black ceramic backlock folder without any markings (Böker ?) i did in 2013.
This well made knife had practically no edge and no point to speak of when i received it, and even opening mail with it was difficult.
I used the Tormek Blackstone graded...
I know I can't be the only music nut or musician on the forum, so...

One of my interests are Air Ships such as dirigibles and the zeppelins. About 200 years before the Wright Brothers with their heavier than air planes, the French Montgolfier brothers and others were using air filled balloons to lift people and objects and...
My question is related to the pressure or force ot takes to cause the firearm trigger to cause the gun to shoot. Can they go off by mere dropping or does it have to be pulled/pressed? One statistic I read: In the United States, approximately 500 people...
A person posted a video on Youtube with some title like If Knife Reviews Were Honest. If I can locate it Ill repost it here for you. The poster shows a wide range of knives from dirt cheap to great ones, I think even a Spyderco, and his premise is that...

Esp if Spyderco related or wherever you are/were with your Spyderco...
My first Spyderbite...
I discovered that my Native 5 Magnacut blade WOULD drop all the way shut... The lock is just so far down the back that my index finger is not strong enough to...
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...
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...
Well after seeing a lot of vegetable/knife posts on the “What Spyderco is in your Pocket Today” thread, I think it’s about time to see how many of you Spyderco forum members have green thumbs…plus there are some here that tend to talk too much (namely...
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.
I know I'm not the only one on this forum that likes to fish. Whether you fish in freshwater or...
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....
The “edge state” of electrons is a special situation where electrons move along the boundaries or edges of certain materials, rather than through the middle.
“In this rare ‘edge state,’ electrons can flow without...
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...
I'll start it off....
Glock 17 Gen 5 - just came in today.
Feels fantastic in hand, best outta the box trigger that I've felt on a Glock. I really like it so far....
Yep… a social media advert was promoting a titanium chopping board “developed by Japanese engineers” for kitchen use. It inhibits bacteria growth and releases no plastic fragments.
It's close to the time of year where I bust out my machetes, choppers and small fixed blades. Almost the season for hikes, camping trips and working on my trails.
Figured I'd make my own thread instead of clogging up the thread for what others are in...
I love a good grilled cheese sandwich. I like to use real butter and either white bread or wheat. I love Rye bread the most, but I can't get it over here, sadly.
For cheese, I love them all, as long as it is good cheese. It is hard to find good cheese...
Ray Kurzweil and other Singularity advocates claim if we can stay alive by keeping ourselves in good health until the 2030s to 2040s, nano robots will be made that can inexpensively clean the body and brain of viruses, bad bacteria, plaques, parasites,...
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.
Does anyone else here unconsciously say their S's like SH?
I was completely unaware that I do this, and only became aware of it when I studied screen acting back from 2012 to 2014. At the end of every acting class, the screen would come down, and they...
Recently acquired these two fixed blades made by Swedish manufacturer Pontus Holmberg.
According to this website the model was once used as a survival knife for the Swedish Air Force:
I'm in the process of giving each one a bit of TLC, and will post...
