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...
What do you see as the good use vs bad, crossing the line of genetic engineering? Examples. Some labs have actually used viruses harnless to humans and animals such as a tobacco virus to grow molecular electronic circuits from metals and...
To be clear I know the Earth is round and space is real and planets are real as are stars. However, I have spoken with Flat Earth believers and they have a whole battery of claims they use to say NASA and the govt and media all lie. One of them would send...
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 know I can't be the only music nut or musician on the forum, so...

Since I've been reading the Wall Street Journal regularly, I'm concerned that China has its finger hovering over a giant OFF button that controls the United States (and possibly other Western democracies). If China decides to flip the switch...what would...
Over the decades, I've liked a wide variety of movies from almost all genres. Back in the 1970s and 80s, I was a connoisseur of kung fu and modern-day action movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan, which played in local grindhouse theaters dubbed in English,...
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....
I was not into the Dungeons and Dragons or the occult sorcery parts but when I was younger I loved scifi and fantasy role playing games until personal choices led to me getting rid of them. I like the technology and action part and wanted to be an action...
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 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...
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...

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?
In online comments, especially on YouTube, it’s common for people to say (for example): “I miss the ‘70s (or the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘80s, ‘90s, you name it). If I had a time machine, I’d go back to then and never come back.”
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.
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 always remembered this cartoon from the early 1970s. It wasn't among my favorites, and it used to air in late afternoons on weekdays, IIRC. I watched it now and then. I think the last time I ever saw it was back in...
This Puma 3587 Jagdnicker (designed by German Chief Gamewarden Walter Frevert) from 1969 was my entry into quality knives, and i still have it.
The knife was meant for performing a mercy kill for deer and the like (German: abnicken) and the price around...

Specs:
Length open: 22,0 cm
Length closed: 13,0 cm
Blade length: 8,9 cm...
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.
Do you all think this would be a good class for high schools and universities to teach students? A class on the basic safe use, purchase and identification of high vs low quality, cleaning, sharpening and maintenance of such things as knives of all main...
I've been looking around at tools that can be used for defense if need be, are easy to EDC, and don't have sharpened edges. One of the things I've been interested for a while is a marlin spike, like this one from Toor.
Hi! New member here, and I was wondering what everyone uses to clean and maintain their pocketknives? I use a Sharpmaker for sharpening, but was also wondering how you clean out the flug from the pivot and inside between the scales, oiling the pivot,...
