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...
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...
This speech by Alan Watts (1915 - 1973) was probably recorded sometime in the early 1970s (since he mentioned a coming energy crisis), which would have been not too long before his death. What he said is still as relevant today as it was back then. I will...
What components is your sound system composed of? How do you listen to music?
My father worked for IBM and he and some of his buddies got together and bought Knight Stereo Systems kits back in the 60's and assembled them. So when I grew up, I listened to...
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....
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....
Anyone have any interest in a thread to post deals on knives by other manufactures? I think Bladeforums has a no deal spotting rule, and Slickdeals rarely cares about anything other than a Kershaw. Let me know if you think this is in bad taste.
Sorry if there is already a thread for this. I’m getting back into serrated knives and I am wondering if anyone has had good experiences with serrations or serration styles outside of Spyderco. I’ve spent most of my serration using time with Spyderco...
Knife Rights Director of Legislative Affairs, Todd Rathner, was in Olympia, Washington, on Wednesday to lobby for SB 5534 , the the bipartisan “Spring Blade” Ban Repeal bill, which went on to pass the Senate by a vote of 46-2. It’s now off to the House....
I keep coming back to this design. I like the look and the blade shape and overall size. How is Case quality nowadays? I hear multiple opinions. DLT has a nice Micarta handle single blade one
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...
Same as others on here, I've found myself gravitating away from Spyderco in the last years, the main culprit in my case being the oversized choil they've decided to use on almost everything - don't get me wrong, I fully enjoy a similar choil on my T-Mag...
I finally broke down and bought one. It's the black G10 with black Nitro-V blade. I think I like it so far, mostly. I just wish that it had a lighter spring on the super lock. Does anyone make an aftermarket lighter spring for these yet ?
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 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!...
there are a lot of neat little gadgets that's i carry in my backpack or shoulder bag in case they might be useful, but every once in a while, something simple makes itself really useful and turns into a learning experience.
Back during the Black Friday sales I purchased an item and had it shipped via the USPS. Prior to it arriving I used their Informed Delivery app to give the a package a cute nickname with instructions to hold it at the local Post Office and to let me know...
Which do you belong to, and do you feel that you fit the stereotypes? It seems to me that the birth years that are used to define each generation were arbitrarily chosen:
I'd like to hear what everybody's favorite custom knife makers are, whether you own a knife from them or just appreciate their work. Pictures encouraged! This might not be a problem for many, but my computer does not display external images, so I would...
I have some knife sketches I have been working on in preparation for hand filing a knife from bar stock, and I thought I would share here. This can also be a place for anyone else to share their designs if they are not concerned about them being revealed...
After over a decade of Knife Rights’ efforts, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed HB 1418 that enacts Knife Rights’ signature Knife Law Preemption in the state, becoming Act 161. The bill adds “Knives” and “Knife-making components” to the...
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...
