Thought maybe I'd offer a little something different. A few Swedish pieces.

In the Buck RedPoint thread, I mentioned that, while I didn't have a RedPoint, I do have a FlashPoint LE (Buck 770). Unhappily, I don't have access to my photos just now (phone died and is charging), but I'm pretty sure I can do a decent verbal description with the photos posted later. Stock...

Is it just me, or has no one opened a thread wishing the USMC, the jarheads, and the leathernecks a hearty and hale happy birthday? If a thread like that already exists, just point me to it and I'll merge this in. However, if not ... Happy Birthday, Marines. It is proof once again...

I find myself shopping for a decent, serviceable .22 mag lever rifle. I lean mostly toward the Marlin and Henry patterns (make that the OLDER Marlin patterns) because both of those eject to the side allowing for a scope, but the local shops don't seem to have any Marlin .22 mag levers just...

Many of us grew up with guns. Many of us grew up shooting from an early age. Many of us find guns to be a natural extension of their lives, as common a tool as a hammer and saw. Some of us here, however either didn't grow up with guns, or spent so many years away from them that they forgot...

Today is apparently not just the birthday of Sam Colt, but also Gaston Glock. Brief mention here. So, celebrate in whatever fashion you wish: take your wheelgun to the range, or grab your Tactical Tupperware. Send a few rounds downrange in honor of a pair of equalizer icons. That...

I'm starting this thread here as a place for Colorado folks to coordinate the safe transport and storage of their firearms under evacuation conditions. If you live near the Springs and have a need or can help someone with a need, this would be the place to discuss that. Evacuation for...

It's tempting to resurrect one of the older sodbuster threads, but this one is to celebrate an increasingly rare yellow-handled, large Case Sob Buster in CV steel, and its adoption into a new home. I've posted pictures of this one before, for example in this thread...

This thread is spun off from the "Inexpensive Valuable Knives" thread. This is the place to offer suggestions for knives you consider to be a bargain, modestly priced, yet providing good value, but which don't make the $25 cutoff in the other thread. So, just to establish the framing for...

I am, as of yesterday, in receipt of my first Fire Knife. I got the green one. Scored for $25, shipped, at auction. The blade is almost the classic Mora. There's a secondary grind near the tip, kind of along the lines of the Mora 2000 secondary grind, but less pronounced...

In 1964, my dad presented my mom with a Gerber French kitchen knife that he purchased at the Aerojet General company store. Previous Mother's Day gifts had been things like Corning Ware pan sets. Practical man, my dad. Recently, I managed to score a like-new Gerber French knife exactly...

For those of you who will be in St. Louis for the April 14th NRA event, there's an additional bit of news. My wife has received the following advisory from Zack Starikov, the marketing directory working with Madison Rising, a strongly pro-Second Amendment band. Wife has been working with...

Nem, have you considered something like the Buck Hoodlum? It's something like 15 or 16 inches total, with a good 10 inches of blade. Light, tough, versatile. There are, of course, other large knife (almost-a-sword) solutions out there, but the Hoodlum stands out as being unusually light...

If that thread title gives you the willies, then you know what I felt when I stopped by BladeForums this evening and saw this thread. At about 9:00 AM this morning, CJ Buck (pres, CEO) posted this: Just after lunchtime, Chuck's wife wrote this: This evening, shortly before 8:00...

Has anyone seen one of these close up? If you haven't seen one before, here are a couple of places: GearUpCenter and CrovelFoldingShovel. Anyone planning on getting one? Here's the Tactical Crovel. Here's the newer Crovel Extreme tool. -- Here's the evolution of the tool...

Madison Rising has just released a new video, and sent my wife a link to it. She forwarded it to me and, after viewing it, I think it's worth sharing. It's new enough that the wife and I were in the first 100 views. Here's the video itself, and just below it are the lyrics, which I've...

I did a quick search, didn't see this yet. KETK (Texas), reports Gun sales skyrocket on 'Black Friday' USA Today: Guns are a big seller on Black Friday From RawStory: Black Friday gun sales hit all-time high WOFL (Fox 35) in Florida: Gun sales jump on Black Friday...

County Comm is at it again. They have come out with a titanium version of the Embassy Pen. It's selling for about $90 (somewhat more than double the aluminum one I have). As some of you already know, this is a seriously sturdy writing instrument, which uses the pressurised Fisher Space...

For any of you who live in North Idaho or East Washington (or West Montana, for that matter), it's that time again. Buck Knives is hosting its week-long factory sale at its factory premises in Post Falls, Idaho, all this week. Hours are 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. Prices are 50% of whatever...

When Don Llewellyn put up his tools a while back, it looked like my chances for getting a DLKnives custom were over. For no particular reason beyond personal selfishness, I took it personally. I can't really feel bad "on behalf of the knife owning community," as I don't recall being voted...
