You might be interested in researching the diet of our American forefathers. Haha, I've been subscribed to Jas Townsend's Youtube channel since its start. I'd argue it's about the best thing out there on this exact topic, as he actually makes the recipes and visits the sites of the American forefat...

Jeez Ferris, I just watched youtube, and I think I have a new calling as a safecracker. That was a whole bunch of real-world that I wasn't ready for. It's like when I found out what I can write off as business expenses on taxes. Thanks for saving me a lot of false security... and money! Edited to in...

Did you ever end up pulling the trigger on a purchase?

I ended up out at the Albany range trying guns, and I ended up with a Marlin 336BL. It's a fun little gun.

Maker has their reasons for pinned.

Blade can be adjusted and taken out though. All good.

I think what tends to happen with many foreign cuisines is they try to cater to the generally bland western palate and consequently lose their authenticity and flavour. :eek: And sometimes, like in the case of legit Mandarin Chinese food, the other cultures don't eat those parts of the animal - the...

Here's hoping Sal brings the kitchen knife he tried it on to the OKCA like he did with the Hap-40 santoku I got from him a few years ago. That still may be the best knife deal I've ever gotten.

Also, I'm in.

And both models being Eric Glesser designs at that. It's not coincidence that Eric's designs take a bit to catch on. His designs are frequently ergonomics and function over aesthetics, and so he frequently deviates from convention with what people expect from knives. People, and more specifically m...

That Sako sure is a looker, but she's priced like a looker for sure.

Mushroom wrote:an Urban Lightweight Wharncliffe sprint run. I always wanted to try the g10 model, but just never pulled the trigger, so I think a lightweight model in wharncliffe would be cool.

I'm in this boat.

I think that a lot of the knives that don't look like a conventional straight-bladed knife don't get recognized. People label them as a gimmick, or as "tacticool" without holding or using them. Ultimately, I end up trying to pick many of the models like that up when they go on clearance be...

Last buy: Jess Horn

Next buy: Caly 3 in Hap-40

There are plenty of self-inflicted problems here. A generation ago, my dad fought a war to keep communist markets and capitalist markets separate. Heck, a half-generation before that, his uncles were fighting the same fight in a different country. Then Nixon comes along, and opens capitalist market...

Remnar wins the thread!

The Poliwog changed my view of knives in general. I thought it was butt ugly when I first saw it in A.G. Russell. Years later, I was scouring shows for them. It's a great knife.

Educational systems have failed over the last forty years in the west, and those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it.

Same here, happy Birthday Sequimite.

I too am a Glock fan, my 19 or 43 is always near. Guns and knives just seem to go together. ;) If you have a 43, and an Introvert, overlay the two and take a look at how ergonomics end up how they end up independent of the researcher and bada$$ company making the thing. I love my 43. I've had a few...

Do you carry your Lil Lum? I was gifted one a while back, nice knife. I carried it a little while, then cut myself with it. I put it down for a while. It seems it may not fit my hand very well.(I have a small hand) I do have the 3" Chinese and the Large Chinese which I like a lot. This has bee...

Generally, I look at their knife. I don't say much other than "nice knife." Frequently, I will investigate sharpness. If they ask if it is sharp, I will answer them honestly. Generally, I don't offer to do anything other than look. Sometimes, someone shows me something really great. Then, ...

That will work. You will want to clean the blade with alcohol and keep all fingerprints off of the surface before the dunk, otherwise your fingerprints will be etched in there.
