Re: Linerless Spydercos
The original FRN-handled Spydercos (Endyra, Selica, etc.), were all linerless. The difference between those and the current linerless models is that the insides of the handle scales weren't ribbed like the current FRN Salts are now. The liners were added to the FRN-handled backlocks with the Endura...

Re: VG XEOS
It looks sort of close to the 440A that used to be so popular for knives. Tungsten can be in there simply because the batch of steel that the numbers came from was made using recycled steel. That would be my guess as those levels it won't really do much. When recycled steel is used you can find thin...

Re: Micromelt PD#1
I'm glad you are finally getting the Endura! I know you have been wanting this for a long time!! Thanks! It's true. I tried talking Sal into it for a while. Decades maybe. I even sent Sal a small sheet of ingot Cruwear to entice him but it turns out he was already well aware of the steel and alread...

Re: Micromelt PD#1
I don't notice any differences in the steels during use. I've been waiting for a Cruwear Endura for years and this will be it for me. I can tell the difference in Cruwear/PD#1 and the old ingot Vascowear when I'm sharpening but I can't tell between Cruwear, PD#1 and Zapp's Z wear. They are all the s...

Re: The evolution of a car kit
I keep a small shovel, tarp and large bolt cutters for cutting pad locks off in emergencies along with the other more usual stuff . I'd tailor the load to where I'm going and what time of year it is and what weather I expect to meet.

Re: EMP Proof Mechanical Only Devices?
On the subject I was taught the only time we are in danger from the blast itself and it's actual physical effects is if you are close enough ( remember these are in space not close to the ground) to to the blast and near a metal fence line or power line or something similar. During that bad solar st...

Re: EMP Proof Mechanical Only Devices?
Excellent way of putting it IMO.I guess when millions of rads are pumped into the biosystem the problem of fried electronics is minor.
It's good to see you back BTW.

Re: The Last Gun You Bought
I like the HK a bunch . If I was going to spend more than I wanted it would be for that. There really isn't much HK stuff I don't like. I fell in love with the HK G3 when In Germany training with the German army and bought an HK91 when I got home. It's clunky but has never failed me and I do like ha...

Re: The Last Gun You Bought
Thanks. I admit I haven't held either in my hand but I like the weight, capacity, design etc. I'll find them to see how they feel. The grip and low bore is what I have always liked about the Glocks so anything I buy will have to point naturally like the Glocks do. I've had full size Beretta , Variou...

Re: The Last Gun You Bought
I'd like a recommendation for a 3.5 to 4.5 inch 9mm. It must have a real safety ( I already have Glocks and don't consider this a real safety) . 10 round minimum with 15 preferred.
Under $600.

Re: Anyone else have rusting issues on their H2 knives?
If you are able send it in. They have the capability to figure things out and if there is a problem solve it not only with you but anything that has to do with manufacturing or materials. I'm sure they would like to know what is going on.

Re: NFL 2023-2024 Season
This might be where Brett Veach is showing his genius. However I am still baffled by the move overall. There has been other acquisitions I also questioned in the past that worked out. I guess we'll see how it all shakes out. I don't know if it's genius or just a prudent move to have a vet that can ...

Re: NFL 2023-2024 Season
Wentz can still be a decent back up for if whatizface gets dinged for a game or two. Wentz has a lot of experience and knowing he is a back up and not a franchise with all that stress can do a lot of the stuff on the sideline and in the film room to help carry the burden.

Re: CRUWEAR Is now my Favorite SE blade steel
I'm glad you like it Joe. I haven't tried a serrated version yet but Cruwear especially the way Spyderco heat treats it is definitely a favorite of mine. I like the all around pretty good at everything nature it provides and especially I like the sharpening response. I can adapt to most steels havin...
