Joneb, I really like Scandinavian knives, and scandi grinds in particular. However for a "Bush Whacker"? Not so much. I prefer a more robust edge, such as a convex. This thread has got looking at Parangs again. May just have to order a couple Bidor Parangs, for my son and myself. Put them...

I know what you mean by a bush whacker. I've looked at the same type item. For me it's something between a Mora and a machete. Only in my part of the world I don't need a machete. I eventually went with a Kukri, made to my specs. Sort of a large knife/hatchet stand in. As much as I like...

I always have a SAK Tourist in my EDC wallet. In addition ... While working or other wise being busy. I carry a Spyderco Salt 1 with a serrated blade. I cut a lot of cardboard and paper/plastic air bags. This is the first Spyderco knife I've owned. I never really understood the big funny hole...

Ruger 10/22 with 16" carbon fiber tension barrel, Blackhawk! adjustable stock, red dot optic and a bag full of 25rd mags. My wife is 4'-11", I'm 6'-2" and the kids are, at any given point, somewhere in between. This gun fits us all, is reliable, light weight and fun to shoot. I make 'em load...

Ok, this is pretty cool. Make it a 8-9 shot .22lr and I'm getting one. I'd also really like a 3" LCR (not X) with fixed sights, in .357 mag (even though I'd only run .38spl through it). I suspect I'll like this grip a lot better. This is a great all around gun. IF you want small and light...

I've consolidated 4 calibers down to 2. 9mm for carry and .357/.38 for recreational shooting and "woods" carry (for my wife and I). I could easily make .357/.38 work for everything. My primary reason is reloading. It's nice to only have to stock for 3 different loads for 2 cartridges. If I was...

I love 10mm. I have no use for it in a wheel gun. The only reason I could justify it would be IF I only loaded for one cartridge but, wanted both platforms. I like rimmed in a revolver and rimless in an auto. I know people compare 10mm to .41 mag. I think it's closer to .357 mag loaded to its...

I know they're not as fancy as many mentioned here. But, I like Remoras for day to day IWB. They just work and they're cheap. For anything else? Stephen over at RKBA gets all my business. He's great to work with, his prices are great and he makes great stuff.

Thanks for the review. I'm considering their 2.0 version. It's made with neoprene instead of leather.

I kind of like the TDI. Washington doesn't have preemption, as regards knife laws, In many places I go, fixed blades are not legal.

I doubt I could get as much forward cant as I prefer. It's the new Alien Gear "Cloak 2.0" I'm thinking about. It's got a neoprene backer, instead of leather. I'd really like the Stealth Gear Onyx. However, $100+ is a lot to spend on an experiment.

I really like the remora. It's comfortable, at least for little guns. But you know how it is. Always looking for something new. I'm 6'-2" and around 240#. About 20# I could stand to loose. I wear a 36" to accommodate the IWB. I might even be slightly forward of 0300? Because of the strong...

I'd like to try the hybrid because of the large backer. In the theory that it avoids pressure points. I've had quality all leather IWB'S in the past. Ultimately don't like what heavy sweating, 16-18 hours a day, 6-7 days a week, does to leather. Now that there are synthetic backed hybrids...

I've been using Remora's for a couple years now. I like them, they're comfortable and affordable. I EDC a little single stack nine. I've found I like a VERY STRONG forward cant. With the pistol around 3 o'clock (the rear of the slide closer to 2:30 and the muzzle around 3:30). I like this...

A 9 shot LCRX in .22lr with a 3" barrel and adjustable sights. Now that would be a dandy kit gun.
