I've been kind of drooling over the L'Epicurien knife by Robert David. It's nice and also kind of stealthy, take a look: It looks like a pen when closed. I was wondering if any of you could suggest other knives that are "stealthy" or that blend in?

I just bought a bubinga handled Opinel and it is really nice. I used it today and noticed it was sticking to the fork a little.I ran a compass near it and it went beserk. So I have a magnetized blade on my new knife. Is this a potential problem? How do I get rid of it?

So I've been checking mouseguns recently and I have a caliber question. Which do you all think would be better, relatively many small rounds, say 5x.22 in a NAA revolver, or a few larger rounds, like 2x45acp in a bonds arms derringer. I'm just wondering pros and cons. The situation is for self...

I was looking at pictures of the new model 94 take down and I was impressed. It looks good. I was wondering how easy it is to put a scope on it. They say it ejects to the side. Thanks

A while ago I read Roosevelt's Africa hunting book. I think it was in there that he talked about the coloring of African animals not being good camouflage. I was wondering if any of you experts have any comments about the subject and animal colors/camo being effective. Here are two stories of...

Ok, so about 15min after I passed through the area this happened: http://www.japantoday.com/category/crime/view/man-arrested-for-stabbing-passerby-in-front-of-ueno-station-in-tokyo And seeing as these nutcases often fixate their chitty lives on foreigners it got me to thinking on what I could...

I like reading books about expeditions and explorers. A lot of these guys lived off or partially off the land. They did a lot of hunting. I was wondering what gauge and shotgun you folks would recommend for a modern day expedition in say the North or the Himalayas or wherever. This would be for...

I have a pair of Panasonic FB-10 binoculars. The focusing knob is a little sticky when focusing in and I'd like to lube it. The knob is plastic tho. Any suggestions as to what I should use and how I should lube them? I like them because they are very compact. They are old tho and if I mess up...

I have a couple of blades with scratches on them from sharpening with a diamond sharpener.(and other reasons) I've polished a few of them out with simichrome polish and it works but it is a lot of work by hand. Anybody have any suggestions about how to polish out scratches on a blade with a...

I've heard a lot of people say that 10w30 is a great all purpose gun oil; cheap and available. Anybody have any suggestions for an equivalent grease? I'm thinking cheap and available here. Thanks all.

I asked a similar question a while ago about what features to look for on a piece of property that would attract game. Now I'm interested in what you could plant on your property to attract game. I'm talking garden and field crops. I'm not asking about any specific game but game in general. The...

So the major manufacturers have all come out with budget rifles. (Savage Axis, Ruger American, Remington 770) I'm wondering which of them is proving to be the best. Any suggestions? You can suggest other makers of budget rifles as well if you see fit. I'm especially curious about accuracy, but...

What is a rook gun? I am reading "News From Tartary" by Peter Feming. It's the story of a trip to western China overland that the author took in 1935. Its a great read. In the book he talks a lot about a .22 rook gun that he used to put food in the pot. It seemed effective. I've managed to look...

Which 10/22 magazines last the longest? I mean long life and round count here. Are there any makers of good quality metal mags for the 10/22? Thanks.

Has anyone gotten their hands on one of these? If so I have a few questions. How is the accuracy? Especially the .22. I read that the plastic extractor was a prototype. Did they put a metal extractor on it? If not how tough is the plastic one? Is it easy to take down? I know that it is less than...

I'm not interested so much in the best caliber/rifle for Africa cause I know it depends but I was wondering, for those of you who hunt Africa, what calibers/rifles do you personally like for the hunts that you like to do? If you want to add some good stories of your hunts feel free, I ain't...

I remember someone doing a thread along these lines but I don't think it was taken too seriously. (Ok I can understand why, but still) I was at the Nature and Science Museum with the kids today and I couldn't help but wonder how you would actually hunt a dinosaur or mammoth: meaning caliber...
