Re: Tips On Quitting Smoking
It's all willpower period. I quit, end of MAY this year after my Heart Attack. I just stopped cold turkey, just smoke your last one the night before going to bed. Then just don't pick another one up. It helps to keep busy however. Ankerson my friend, you don't know how happy I was to read this, tha...

Re: Ways to "Thief Proof" cars?
Learn to drive a vehicle that has a manual transmission (I believe you folks call it stick shift?). It won’t stop the buggers getting in but will likely stop them taking off in it. Don’t advertise your belongings in your vehicle, hide it or take them out when unattended. A thin sheet of glass is th...

If one has a car worth stealing nothing will stop a pro from getting it if they want it.

Re: Stable edge steels (NOT TOUGHNESS)
Personally, I'd like to see 14C28N in some knives. It is tough like AEB-L/13C26, but is a stainless nitrogen steel. I agree 100 percent Doc. I"ve seen 14C28N in other company"s knives and I'm confident Spyderco can do well with it. Works very well in Kitchen Knives. Ankerson it is good to...

Re: Stable edge steels (NOT TOUGHNESS)
So I know this is an old thread but it still seems it has not been totally answered. I don’t know all the knife makers that would know best but I’m hoping to revive this in order to learn more. I thought I understood this subject but soon learned that edge retention/hardness didn’t dictate better e...

Re: EMP Proof Mechanical Only Devices?
With all the talk about electromagnetic pulse attack dangers what are ways that society can block or minimize these? Use shielded electronics or mechanical only devices with no electronic circuits? Hasn't really ever been a topic of discussion other than when talking about nuclear war. And at that ...

Re: Generational Classifications: Do You Identify?
I think it's fun to look at but, I don't put any stock in any of it. Generational bias/superiority has been goin on at least since Plato's time 😃 All that being said, I'm Gen X, both my parents are Silent Genration - my Grandfather (paternal) was The Lost Generation the rest of my Grandparents were...

Re: Social networks vs. forums - possible return of content to the forums?
OK, in simplest terms my instructors got banned for posting gunsmithing videos. This was either intentional or totally arbitrary. Either way it happened, and I'm sure anyone here can infer what they will from that. Or you can assume I'm making it up, which is up to each person's discretion of cours...

Re: Social networks vs. forums - possible return of content to the forums?
And that doesn't mean my instructors didn't get banned. Watching tanks blow stuff up doesn't teach people how to maintain the tools that we use for defence. Being able to do your own work on firearms to keep them in working order does. They don't care if you are watching useless content. All kinds ...

Re: Social networks vs. forums - possible return of content to the forums?
My gunsmithing instructors had their content banned from youtube, so stuff like this is nothing new to me. And no it is not because they were promoting violent or stupid behavior, they are some of the best instructors in the world. It is really just a continued effort at an anti-weapon agenda, that...

Re: Victorinox going bladeless
Woke is going to make them broke. Victorinox is caving and will start making their Swiss Army Knives without knife blades. They will still make current models with blades, they say. Here is one of the articles I read on the subject: https://gizmodo.com/swiss-army-knife-victorinox-no-blade-185146194...

Re: Social networks vs. forums - possible return of content to the forums?
Well, I've had my posts censored for just being knives on Instagram. I can't say for everyone, but it's happened to me. As to the trash posted on Instagram by the Onlyfans crowd, it's there and it's never censored. I'm not trying to be argumentative, but it's happened to me and several friends. I a...

Re: Social networks vs. forums - possible return of content to the forums?
I agree 💯. It's to the degree that you get censored for showing a Swisstool, but the Onlyfans girls posts flow by the thousands. I'm amazed millions haven't left because of the censorship, let alone the fees they're beginning to charge. I have bad news. The death of social media cannot happen soon ...
