    I also like the flexibility of the kydex sheaths (especially being left handed), but prefer the feel of leather.  If they offered kydex in a dark brown instead of black, I'd jump.    I don't recall exactly how I came across the deal.  Someone posted a different Boker Magnum knife so I googled it and found this.  I saw it listed on several other sites for $50- $60 (with good reviews) so I was pleasantly surprised to find the OEM offering it for much less. :)

I like the look of the AK.  How did you get it to stand up like that?

Call back. It's hard to go wrong for the price. Thanks. If I might inquire from the expert, how might I go about adding some jimping? Is there a special tool of some sort or just a file?

Since you've already got a 19, get the 30. The subcompacts are awful.

With all this fixed blade knife goodness going on here, I ran across what I think is quite a deal. I like the idea of having a modest sized fixed blade I can carry. I'm also somewhat traditional and like wood scales and leather sheaths. Plus I'm cheap. ;) Enter the Boker Magnum Survival.... http://www.boker.de/us/fixed-blade-knife/boker/tactical-knife/02SC310.html $26 to my door. Yep, really. I'm no knife expert, but I fiddled around with it over the weekend. I don't really consider it a true "survival knife", but its a perfectly serviceable camp/utility knife. It was reasonably sharp out of the box, just barely shaving sharp. I assume that'll be the norm since it's a 440 stainless blade as opposed to something like 1095. Probably a better choice for this purpose anyway... less concern for chipping it or corrosion. The notch is listed for cutting cord, rope, etc. I didn't have any rope laying around that I wanted to make shorter so I can't say how well it works for that. I did do a good job shaving little knots off the stick I was whittling on. It's got a little ridge on the spine to act as a thumb stop, but I think it could use a little jimping for a more tactile feel. I may have a go at that myself at some point. The wrong handed sheath is a bit of an expected bummer (I'm left handed), but carrying it on my left side seemed to work fine. For the price, I'm more than satisfied. :)

Indeed. Yes, I own this t-shirt. ;)

    Yep.  Salvage what can be recycled and burn the rest.  Just don't burn anything important.

A friend's spit bottle....  yeah, don't ask.   :ugh:           Indeed.  Had a bad night followed by an even worse day (sweating in the sun while wearing a suit) after being given a bottle of that crap.  *body shiver*    I also had a bad experience with vodka.  Took years before I could even handle it as a mixer.  The smell alone would turn my stomach. 

:rofl:     I don't like painting either.  I've gotta do all my outside trim this year. :yuck:

    I just use the foam Howard Leight type earplugs... they're free at work.  I find the constant drone of wind noise very fatiguing and headache inducing.  I feel like I can hear the important stuff better with earplugs, they drop the background noise to the point that other things are more clear.   I don't understand how people with really loud bikes stand it. 

    Will do, thanks! 

    That's a good answer as far as I'm concerned.  I like cayenne.  "Buffalo" sauce is vile. 

    Yep.   Same reason a 10lb dumbell is easier to carry than an 8lb 2x4.  It's called moment of inertia if you want to be nerdy about it. 

Earplugs.    Two halves....   1.  I don't want to be half deaf like my Dad. 2. Half the point of riding is so I don't have to talk to anyone. 

I'm old fashioned.  Burn them to a CD and send/take it to her.

At some point I'm gonna have to try this stuff.    What kind of heat is it?  Like Hooters wing heat, jalapeno heat, habanero heat, or.... ?

What's wrong with the one that's in it?  Some shops will refurbish one for a modest cost.  They replace the end caps and dunk it in the acid tank to remove the scale. 

    Sounds like a good idea for a raised bed. 

Pick the one you shoot the most accurately while shooting quickly at typical self defense range. 

    If you're on a computer, click on the pics.  They should open in another window in photobucket.  With your cursor on the pic, icons should appear in the top right.  The magnifying glass will reload the full size image in the browser, the gear lets you download the full size image so you can open it in your photo viewer of choice. 

That's what I meant... I can't have a chainsaw?!? :panic: And one could argue that simply installing the bayonet turns a Mosin into a pike. But the ax is pretty cool. A chainsaw is cooler (only if gas powered).

I'll echo the suggestion of SAO revolvers. Those can have pretty light triggers.

Bad news there. Reminds me of the BB guns wars we had when I was a kid. No pellets allowed and only 1 pump on rifles. It's amazing no one got hurt.

No chainsaw?!?!  :panic:

I saw them while flying into Detroit one winter night.  We circled around over Lakes Erie and Huron in a holding pattern to land from the north.  Thankfully the pilot told us to have a look out the right side of the plane as the faint green glow of the borealis was visible on the horizon.  Pretty cool.
