I'm an admirer of Spyderco's designs. Using them is like immersing yourself in music or studying a painting in a museum. I buy some "fine" art but my preference is for usable art.

:spyder: It's this kind of sectarian pancake fundamentalism that causes so much suffering. Next I'll hear that I mustn't use my cast iron griddle (ok, I'm a traditionalist but not a fundamentalist) and should use new fangled teflon instead. (I only use non-stick for eggs.)
Oh yeah, don't take a trainer to a knife fight. :spyder:

the way I see it, your best bet is to avoid any kind of fight if possible. Losing some cash and your watch is a lot less bad than having to fight someone potentially to the death. I would only pull my knife if i or my firends or family were directly attacked. The best sd tactic is to avoid the fight altogether IMO

Anyone who makes waffles in anything but a cast iron maker has forgotten the face of their father... DEATH TO TEFLON!!
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

So I guess they do things a bit different in Ohio than the rest of the country...which do you fry? :confused:markg wrote:Not really... one is fried the other is baked (and add more egg).
Do French fries and baked potatoes taste different? Yes they do...
And pancakes need to be limited to stacks of only 3...
Follow the mushin, but pay it no heed.
Well, you cook pancakes in a pan... hence the frying part. Where waffles are baked in a waffle iron.zenheretic wrote:So I guess they do things a bit different in Ohio than the rest of the country...which do you fry? :confused:
Then again, I am not a chef, and under no circumstances should you defend yourself against an attack with a waffle iron!
To get back on track, a steel trainer may well be legally a weapon.
Several years ago, I was showing a very accomplished martial artist trap and roll. I was using a trainer cut out of heavy aluminum bar stock, carefully rounded, with the "point" heavily radiused. His style tends to block hands, instead of wrists, and he caught the tip of my trainer in the web of his hand. I felt nothing. He needed three stitches.
While improvised weapons are useful if you have the skill to use them, it's worth remembering that if you are holding that pen or rolled up magazine, you give up the ability to grasp, which is something you know how to do because you do it every day. You also limit your ability to hit with your fist and you lose the ability to hit with your palm. If you don't have training, you may only have the illusion of being armed, and you may be worse off than you would be empty handed.
And, if you pull a knife you may find yourself facing a gun in the hands of someone who isn't going to check to see if it's a trainer.
