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...
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.
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,...
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...
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 know I can't be the only music nut or musician on the forum, so...
In the car this week:
Alice In Chains - Disc two from Music Bank
Snapcase: Progression Through Unlearning
John Mellencamp: Words and Music
Train: Self Titled
The Police: Live!...
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...
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...
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...
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....
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...
if you let me start
used cameras: nikon d3100, d3200, d80, n90(f90)
lenses: micro nikkor af-s 40mm f2.8g(main); nikkor 18-55; 18-55vr; 55-300vr; af-50 f1.8d; mc helios-81n
p.s. sorry about compressed quality
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...
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....
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...
When i first read about it i really thought it was all just nonsense.
Then i tried it (the cheapskate way: by sleeping on a small piece of copper weave cloth attached to a bit of copper wire which is itself attached to a sanded bare section of our...
Some say these are fake conditions made up to make money for pharma and head shrinkers. Others say its the vaccines and chemicals in the food water and enviroment. What is the cause? Genes?
Here’s three work in process pics that’s he’s sent to me. Looks like he’s ahead of his scheduled promise date. This guy has been super to work with, if this knife is half as good as he’s been to work with I’m gonna be very pleased!
While it is said that hindsight is 20/20 my question for you all is this:
1 Why did the Allied forces like America and the Europeans and British not destroy Hitler and his Nazis before they became a powerful mechanized army, say in his early days?...
Where is Gernot? Wartstein has been missing for a while. I messaged him and got no reply. I hope all is well and he is just climbing a mountain, or something.
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,...
I have a simple harbor freight 1”x30” belt grinder currently. I’m wondering what knife jig those of you with experience would recommend to someone gradually working their way into making their own fixed blade knives. Any advice would be appreciated. Well...
Each of us has our own journey and path in life. It can be said our path at times overlaps with those of others. Regarding knives where are you at in your's and what future knives and aquirements in knives do you want to see?
I have drove by this place in the country and finally took a shot of this thing in backyard. Appears to be some type of military hardware . Owner has it mounted on a pedestal so revolves in the wind . Almost make me think it was used as a pull behind...
Having gone through the archives and seeing a lot of interest in sci-fi shows, but no thread for sci-fi movies I decided to make one. By far my favorite genre it was hard enough to get it down to this top 10 just for the 20th century. Comments on each...
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...
