I’m sorry but all those flow FMA drills look like the same TMA stuff that goes out the window when it is for real. The prisoner with no weapon just allowing some dude to dive at his groin and slice him up? Try that with knee to the face allowed. Any training that doesn’t include clinch range and li...

Re: Favorite 3” in house spyderco folder?

Sage or the Chap. I know I’m an outlier, but I actually prefer the backlock to the compression lock, so the Chap has a leg up there. It’s also nearly unparalleled in terms of geometry IMO, with that thin stock and grind. And it’s just as good in the pocket. That said, the Sage is no slouch in the g...

How CTE is Destroying Fighters https://youtu.be/hRm9UgZXv_o?si=im-VoyMxrfHGjO8Q I think the narrator has a somewhat limited awareness of what is capable of causing CTE, especially when he mentions that the late WWE wrestler, Chris Benoit, didn't take many blows to the head. Punches and kicks to the...

Re: Any interest in the return of models like the pingo?

Sal said the Pingo designers now operate their own competitive company (Giant Mouse) and so it would not get sprinted again Anso and Voxnaes are both doing collaborations with other companies 🤷‍♂️. I’ve been eyeballing the MKM Isonzo (another Voxnaes design) for way, way too long. I would have like...

Re: Looking for an improvised Yojimbo 'light.' Any suggestions?

https://i.postimg.cc/V65Gj2Fq/IMG-0317.jpg Have you considered the Jandelica or Jandura? They are Mr Janich’s custom made reprofiled versions of the Delica and Endura. The Kahr Arms Delica (above)was a model produced by Spyderco using the same profile. Sadly I missed Kahr Arms Delica at the time......

Re: Salt 2 Wharncliffe: gone for good or CQI incoming?

I don't think it's just the salt wharnies that are taking a hit. Seems a lot of wharnies are going bye bye throughout the product line.....even the new serrated Byrd wharnies which is a real shame. I was just about about typing an reply along that lines, you beat me to it. Yes, looking at the list ...
