I have a Boker ceramic blade folder that I bought at the factory in Solingen, Germany. It is ridiculously sharp and very cool looking. The downside to ceramic blades is that they cannot be used to pry or have much torsional force applied to them or the blade will snap. Just my personal opinion, but I wouldn't want one for an EDC knife.

I'm not sure about the show but Aim Surplus has Nagant revolvers for $95 right now.

Love, love, love my Glock 20. Looking for a Dan Wesson 10mm as we speak...

Another nice one Steve. Hoping Santa will bring me a Sebenza this year. Then I'll start working on the Hinderer...

I've really enjoyed mine so far Mav. I'm also pretty pumped about the new 550 they have coming out. It's a collaboration with Rick Hinderer.

Hey Dan, I use the same handle over there, I just don't post very often.

I really enjoyed the Bourne books. You should also give World War Z by Max Brooks (son of Mel) a try. It's a good read and is supposedly being made into a movie.

Awesome. I love a company with a sense of humor.

Someone mentioned the Field and Stream recommended kit. Here's a link to the article they did on the kit from a couple of years ago. It's pretty good stuff. Make a Survival Kit out of an Altoids Tin | Field & Stream

It is a little large for EDC although I have carried it once or twice. I think for me it will be better suited for hiking where I can throw it in a daypack or as a backup knife when camping.

Hey Steve, Thanks for the info. Too bad about them being made in China. That's unfortunately a deal breaker for me. I'll look into Southern Security.

I'm guessing by his profile info that he's been banned or sent on vacation. Can someone PM me with an email address where I can contact him?

theepicenter.com has Mountain House #10 cans on sale right now for 20% off with free shipping. I have not bought from them before today but they have a good reputation from what I was able to find on the interwebs.

Anyone have any experience with Winchester safes, particularly the Supreme 53? Supreme Series | Winchester

Hey Grays, Have you tried your Sharpmaker yet? I got one recently but haven't had the time to watch the video yet.

I looked at the 70 online but was worried it would be too small. Is it comfortable sizewise?

Nice one. I'm a big fan of Kershaw. Great quality for the price. My out of uniform EDC is a Kershaw Blur.

They are a little high, but very well made. I got this one pre-owned but never used for about half of retail, or else I probably wouldn't have it.

You're welcome to dig around in the East TN meet pictures to see how fat I am. I'm the guy in the yellow t-shirt with the shaved head. I exercise, eat right and generally do the things I need to in order to remain in shape to do my military job. I'm fortunate to not be fat. I'm also fortunate to not be a shallow little wanna-be who gets off on making fun of others.

This is probably the most special knife I have. My wife has her degree in metal design. She can weld, work a forge and is generally pretty damned good at it. This is her first attempt at a knife, completely from scratch (not a kit project).

I got this to use as an EDC while in uniform but just haven't quite figured out how I want to carry it. It's a double-action, out-the-front with a strong spring and great lockup.

I bought this one from the JD forum classifieds. What a tank of a knife. For those not familiar with Zero Tolerance, these knifes are a collaborative effort between Strider Knives and Ken Onion. The blade is S30V.

I bought this one swearing I wasn't going to lock it away and baby it. Now that I have my hands on it it's so nice that I almost hate to use it. I may end up like a lot of others just buying a Blackjack to use and keeping this one in the safe til the Zombie Apocalypse. Randall #16SP with green micarta scales
