If I recall from another discussion, it's a month/year code. K=11. So it may be that the LU one was finally finished in December. Remember, there aren't 1000 being run in parallel for all production steps, so there are bound to be some that spill over into another month. For the AU code on the s45v...

Here's my take, for what it's worth. I'm 76, unvaxed an unafraid. Three factors entered into that decision. First and foremost, I feel my lifestyle is sufficient protection against the ***** as it has been against other infections for the past 10 years. I'm retired, live alone, don't socialize, and ...

I'd be a lot more tempted to try Kratom if it was sold in drug stores. As things stand, at least here in upstate SC, the only places that seem to carry it are vape shops and gas stations.

I am not a lawyer, but I worked with enough of them to think that, if it's part of the blade, the material does not matter, it will be counted. New scales that extended further forward ahead of the pivot might not.

On larger knives, having a lanyard hole is not important to me. In fact, I normally ask anyone making custom scales for me to omit it. That said, it's not something that would ever stop me from buying and using a knife I otherwise liked. Key ring knives are the exception, as they need either a lanya...

No guarantee it will help but, since the front end of the lockbar sees to be sitting a bit above the handle, there's at least a chance a good cleaning of the lock notch in the blade might resolve the lockup issue. That's easiest to do with the knife closed. If that doesn't help, then SG89's suggesti...

Personally, if given the choice between a small section of dull edge in front of the ricasso and a sharpening choil that can cause material being cut to snag, I'll take the former every day.

Can't answer that, but perhaps whoever is claiming that 9V offers "superior edge retention" at a relatively low hardness is not someone who most steel junkies know and respect.

Micarta, unlined like the original burgundy version.

Thinking it may have already left our country and be in yours. I'd suggest checking the French postal service's website, using the US tracking number.

Does anyone know where I can get red white and blue starburst scales for my PM2? I've seen them on the knives on ebay but can't find just the scales. Thanks Looked at the eBay listings for those scales and they appear to be made by the seller listing them. If you haven't done so already, you might ...

Don’t know if anybody has seen that Savage has come out with a 9mm pistol . Saw an ad for it. Neat looking little gun, but capacity seems a bit low compared to some of the other micro-compact 9mm's being offered these days due to being a single stack design. However I'm sure the slimmer profile and...

Unless you count cordless hole punches, ;) my newest tool is this cabinet hardware jig that I purchased about a month ago to end 10+ years of procrastination. When I purchased my house, the cabinet doors and drawers had no handles on them. Builder claimed that was what was in style. Bought handles, ...

Hard call between these three... Atlantic Salt and Kiwi in Birdseye Maple http://paulberetta.com/images/external/forums/birdseye_maple_pair.JPG Stretch and Kopa in Cocobolo http://paulberetta.com/images/external/forums/cocobolo_pair.JPG Stretch and Kiwi in Lignum Vitae http://paulberetta.com/images/...

My "dream Spyderco" would be a Stretch variant that I'll call the Stretch 3. Handle would have the same physical dimensions as the original stainless with Kraton inlays version, but would have smooth bolsters and wood scales like the knife below. Blade would have the shape of the straight ...

Yes, the buttons on brand new Microtech DA OTFs can be very stiff and take some breaking in.

Artisanal
Bespoke
Tactical

LC200N, because it can be full flat ground.

Way more impressed by his Dremel skills than by the knife.
