You had me. I thought it was my browser so I fired up another one to see what was not there yet.

I looked twice and refreshed once before I realized..... :)

I probably should not be using Firefox with so many add-ons, extensions. I probably will change browsers eventually. But there are sites that do not open up for me and I have other browsers on this system just in case. I've been using Firefox ever since I downloaded it in 93/94 and compiled it on my systems.

Wow - 93/94!
I think I started using 'alternative browsers' by 2008, it might have been 2005/06. What sort of system is that?

In 93/94 the systems I used at school were all UNIX, primarily SGI Unix systems for surfing the Internet and I compiled the raw Mozilla source code so that everyone at the university could use a web browser for the first time.

Definitely wasn't firefox back then. I remember when they launched it as phoenix, then renamed to firebird in the 2000's.

The browser started out being called NCSA Mozilla or Mosaic (I think Mosaic is still around as a proprietary browser) and went through a number of name changes after that before they settled on Firefox. They also has email agents, I think one was Thunderbird.

The code that I download and compiled was Mosaic or Mozilla.

We are going way back. I'm lucky I've remembered my name this long.

this is a fun wikipedia article.


so, about the native chief lw... anyone using it in outdoor scenarios such as wood processing/carving, etc.?

Wiki:

NC-LW: now that is an interesting question. That sort of use would tell us more about potential flex, durability, etc.

Although I don't always like combo edges, IMO, that edge configuration would work perfectly for the Chief.

Anyone get a combo edge yet? Wondering what your thoughts on it are.

I’m getting the idea a lot of people, like me, are waiting for the SPY27…. Could this be a wake up call for Eric to order more SPY27?

I am also waiting for the spy27. Nothing wrong with bd1n, but there are several upcoming models I want and don't want to blow the whole knife budget on chiefs. Although it is tempting...

Same here. If there was a pre-order for SE Spy27 I'd already have my order in. I'm tempted to order the SE Salt MC but I've been wanting to try Spy27 for a while now and I don't have a Chief yet. I'm not really interested in BD1N, for whatever reason.

For my uses, 4" blades are mostly outdoors knives, for edc I prefer roughly 2.5" to 3" blades. I've really been looking for a 4" SE in a steel that's relatively high in stain resistance. I already have the PE MC Native 5 Salt (plus the Rex45 N5), they're great knives but I want to scratch that Chief itch.

edit: I did pre-order the SE Mil 2 and I'm expecting a Maxamet Sage 5 LW to be delivered in the next few days (my first Sage and first Maxamet blade), plus I've ordered 3 khukuris from Nepal that should trickle in over the next few months.

I'm waiting on the Spy27 as well. But I'm getting impatient...
