I have been a fan of blowguns ever since I was a kid and I read those ads in the back of Boy's Life and Soldier of Fortune magazines for "House of Weapons" in Provo, Utah that had a picture of a guy holding up an anteater supposedly killed by the blowgun. I eventually bought one, and I had a...

As I am finally back up in Alaska, and things are starting to go well again in my life (horrible experiences going to Wyoming for a couple of years, life fell apart - don't ask) I am trying to get things back to a semblance of normality and comfort. One of the things I miss is having a nice ulu...

In another thread I posted a picture of a McCurdy kukri I got back recently from having a sheath made for it. It's a guaranteed monster in size, seems like it in toughness for the little I've used it, too. However, Summer's half over and I have a whole class I need to design before school's...

I got a Kukri some time ago, I came across it again in a box as I was packing some stuff up recently. The spine is almost 3/8 inch thick, the edge is a smoothly done convex, and it feels very solid. On one side of the blade it says "McCURDY NEPAL 064" and on the other side are some characters...

Does anyone know about the composition and performance of SK5 steel? Is it similar to 1095 in application? I've noticed it's being used on quite a few more knives these days, CKRT is using it in their Elishewitz FTWS knife. Cold Steel has glommed onto it as their replacement for Carbon V when...

I have recently come into a Case 1836 Bowie missing a handle. It's not in great shape, the steel doesn't seem particularly spectacular, but it's a neat knife and I'd like to get a handle on it. Does anyone here have experience working with Case on customer service? Are they good to deal with...

I didn't want to derail el Godfather's Five Seven topic any more than it already was, so I'll start a new thread. What were/are your expectations of the Kel-Tec PMR-30? For those of you who have held or shot one, what are your impressions? I'll admit to having quite an interest in the...

Here's the short version: I have a Cold Steel Slim Stick, when I found out that it was hollow rather than solid I decided to "fix" that little oversight. I got a piece of 1/4 inch T5 titanium rod I'm going to epoxy it in place the full length of it. Here's the full version: I am...

I have a few new toys I thought I'd share here: My newest is one I've been waiting for over 5 years to arrive, a Randall model 25 with a carbon blade and standard model 25 handle: One I've been waiting forEVER to find available, a Flight of the Intruder Cold Steel knife. I finally...

Since the local Walmart has a perfectly serviceable knife for $15.00, why would I spend the kind of money it takes to get these? Obviously the one on top is the least expensive and the most used, but I believe I still paid close to $300 for it. Why?

I just got a Cold Steel Pocket Bushman because it was under $10 and it seemed like a good buy. Boy, talk about a strong locking mechanism, this thing is beastly. The knife seems quite robust and sturdy but I do have one complaint: The handle. While it definitely adds to the low cost of the...

As a 20+ year Glock man, and an enthusiastic USP Tactical owner, I wondered if I'd ever own a 1911. It almost seemed sacrilege, having been attached to poly-framed pistols for over 2 decades. I finally gave in and bit the bullet, so to speak. I am now the owner of a Springfield 1911...

While I have several caliber handguns, I've become more comfortable trusting my safety to carrying a .45 Auto since I've been living in the Alaska outback. When I'm in full Winter gear it's no problem to put my full sized USP Tactical or my Glock 21SF in a holster on my belt. (For that matter...

One of the recurring topics here is the constant shortage of ammunition today. Some of it is hoarding, which is probably a response to the obamination recently foisted upon us. The results have spread panic which has emptied a lot of shelves in gun stores. Being the naive boy I am, I ask...

I have a Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker which I like, but I'm looking to change to something else just because I feel like it. I'd like to try one of the sharpening systems that hold the angle constant and was wondering if there was any real difference between the three that I'm aware of...

From the outset, let me acknowledge one thing: The 1911 is the King of the .45 Auto. I'm enough of a fan of the writings of Col. Jeff Cooper to know better than to try to argue with this most definite of pronouncements. That said, I'm not a king. I'm not a court jester either, but I'm not a...

The first time I saw this I thought it HAD to be a parody of how screwed up anti-gunners are. A little research and I find it's real? This is the kind of stuff that brings revolutions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRyw1JnAstg

I just picked up a really good deal, I found a Kershaw D2 Outcast on eBay for $55.00. With shipping included I paid $63.00 for this great knife, I'd say I got a real bargain. As of right now the seller lists that he has 3 left for this price. This knife comes new with the kydex sheath but...

While I'm always wary of products that seem to be too good to be true, I'm also interested in the never-ending jumps in legitimate technology today. This flashlight seems to be more of the latter than the former, but I was wondering if any of you had any experience with it. The light in...

I'm getting ready to move a few of my guns out, I was wondering if some of you could give me any idea about their approximate value. The first is a Grendel P30, the 30 round .22 Mag pistol that has two magazines and the original box. Condition is around 95%. The second is a...
