roundoff, Can you tell what type of wood yours is? I've been looking at those enasco sticks, but, cannot find any info on the wood type.

Thanks, Guillermo. Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. I'm very busy this past couple of months and seldom have time to come here anymore. Take care, Mike U.

What's the price tag on that Nitecore D10? They don't list the price on the site.

Here's one of my Old Hickory's. The blade is 12" of Carbon Steel goodness!:D Here's a close up of the blade marking. Good ol' timey knives.

Kinda makes one wish the old days would return again in some aspects of our lives, huh? Did y'all ever see the advertising poster of a rancher toting a .45 ACP Thompson with a group of outlaws riding in on his house? The poster was singing the praises of having a Thompson sub-machine gun handy...

Ahhh, back in the day. Can you imagine JC Penney selling shotguns or any firearm today?

PGO 12 gauge? I recommend reduced recoil buck and slugs. It's an up close and personal set-up. Might as well use the shells that work best up close and personal. Better control of the gun would make this option a viable one. Kinda like icing on the cake.:D FWIW, my PG resides in the gun...

One fine day while visiting, I went out on my mom's porch and touched off a round out of my Russian M-44 and the phone immediately rang. Her next door neighbor said she was reading the paper and the BOOM! scared her so bad she wet herself.:what::evil: She lives about 1/5th of a mile away...

Don't know if this has been shown yet, and I really don't wanna slog through 6 pages, soooo, FWIW, As many times as I've been cut, I fear being on the wrong side of ANY edged weapon.

I'm with Arfin! Those cutlass' were popular for a reason.:D

Yeah, Benchmade used a Teflon type coating and CS uses an epoxy. Lotta difference in toughness between those two from my experience. CS wins hands down. jahwarrior, Be sure to make up your mind what you want to do with the Kraton handle before you do the paint stripper thing. I have several CS...

Meh. Griptilian never appealed to me. So, I hereby pronounce the Kershaw Junk Yard Dog II composite blade the perfect modern locking folder under $100.00!:neener: And, then the Kershaw Tyrade, the Groove, the Leek, the Shallot, the Cyclone, the Spyderco Endura 4 with ZDP-189 blade and...

They do?:confused: Why didn't I get the memo on this?:cuss::neener: Mustard patinas are a very good way to "season" straight Carbon Steel blades. If I can remember to make it back here later today I'll post a couple of my experiments. I was looking for a way to force age a couple of blades...

LMAO, cuz it's so true. I bought some 2 3/4", 9 pellet S&B and couldn't believe the spread I was getting at 5-7 yards. Who needs a squashed pipe?

You might want to ask Remington. I believe they just recently bought Marlin, which owns H&R and NEF and apparently Remington is now selling the crap outta the Pardner Pumps imported by NEF.
