Re: The Last Gun You Bought

Thanks. I admit I haven't held either in my hand but I like the weight, capacity, design etc. I'll find them to see how they feel. The grip and low bore is what I have always liked about the Glocks so anything I buy will have to point naturally like the Glocks do. I've had full size Beretta , Variou...

Re: The Last Gun You Bought

I'd like a recommendation for a 3.5 to 4.5 inch 9mm. It must have a real safety ( I already have Glocks and don't consider this a real safety) . 10 round minimum with 15 preferred.

Under $600.

Re: Anyone else have rusting issues on their H2 knives?

If you are able send it in. They have the capability to figure things out and if there is a problem solve it not only with you but anything that has to do with manufacturing or materials. I'm sure they would like to know what is going on.

Re: NFL 2023-2024 Season

This might be where Brett Veach is showing his genius. However I am still baffled by the move overall. There has been other acquisitions I also questioned in the past that worked out. I guess we'll see how it all shakes out. I don't know if it's genius or just a prudent move to have a vet that can ...

Re: NFL 2023-2024 Season

Wentz can still be a decent back up for if whatizface gets dinged for a game or two. Wentz has a lot of experience and knowing he is a back up and not a franchise with all that stress can do a lot of the stuff on the sideline and in the film room to help carry the burden.

Re: CRUWEAR Is now my Favorite SE blade steel

I'm glad you like it Joe. I haven't tried a serrated version yet but Cruwear especially the way Spyderco heat treats it is definitely a favorite of mine. I like the all around pretty good at everything nature it provides and especially I like the sharpening response. I can adapt to most steels havin...

Thanks for the updating Chinstrap. I'll be looking for results as time goes by. Hopefully things will work out the way they should. That last picture is a good one and thanks for including it. If you have any auto type paste wax try giving it a coating. Even a standard candle can do wonders. I've fo...

Re: Any cat lovers?

That's the beauty of cats, they have a mind of their own. Mine will come to me to cuddle. Cats are also very hygienic so where does the smell come from? Besides the litterbox of course 😉 I love dogs but the smell of them especially when wet 🤢 That isn't beauty to me. :) A dog will try to struggle u...

Re: Is there a quintessential Spyderco?

Danke got that one! A veteran #2 with tape holding up parts of it. Perfect!

Oh, I say Enduras or Delicas. I can carry whatever I want but I feel lost without an Endura in my pocket. I have had one with me almost constantly since 1992.

Re: Any cat lovers?

Cats sure are cute but their bad habits and behavior out weigh that for me. Unlike dogs they don't offer anything but demanding behavior and bad smells. Dogs on the other hand will work for the common good of the family pack and if their needs are met and they have a good pack leader (owner) they wi...

Re: Spyderco and hrc

I guess you can't just accept that Spyderco has reasons for doing what they do. If you do enough research here going back in time you will find enough of those reasons to figure out what is going on and the probable reasons for it. The reasons they don't are so obvious to me I don't get why everyone...

Re: My on going salt steel comparison journal

It isn't faulty and it does have some contamination on it. I don't believe plain oxidation rust is possible with that steel. The grooves in the steel are like mountains and valleys to really fine particles and you can't get some off without a paste or wax scrubbing. Mostly that won't matter but you ...

Re: What’s your favourite Jerky recipe?

Be careful with it. It's strong stuff and too much ruins it. It is difficult to get off the smell if it gets on your hands and it can trigger mild skin reactions or allergic reactions in some. I strongly prefer the Calgon over the Old Hickory taste wise. I also make it a bit stronger if using veniso...
