James Cole commented on William Cutting's group 'The Modern Survivalist'
@Clint, I think you and I could have an interesting discussion about space aliens, but that's for another time. There are things in this world that are far more dangerous than guns, knives, and baseball bats.  Perhaps one should consider…

Steve, I think they do.  The minis won't take anything away from the full size and they are sooo "cute." JC

Gary, There are a lot of pockets in these vests so you could load it up with enough gear to turn yourself into an anchor.   I would recommend a couple of items not yet on your list; (1) an Altoid tin, (2)  if you can find it, a razor…

Wow guys, sure are a lot of “ifs” and “buts” in here. GEC Great Eastern Cutlery for the gentleman who asked. I'm only interested in fit and finish. So here's my “if”, if it walks and talks and is shiny…

James Cole replied to Terry Waldele's discussion 'Stuck at the Bottom of a Steep, Slick River Bank and Out of Cell Phone Range' in the group The Modern Survivalist
Terry, we old guys (I'm 71) have to use our minds to solve problems such as this.  As a 17 year old farmboy I'm sure I could have about floated out of that position, however more than a half century later I no longer have that…

First, your life is worth more than the gear you are carrying, so leave it or rope it up with your fishing line so that you can pull it up after you are safely at the top. Second, cut two sticks, 3 to 4 feet long (I did read there was brush, right?)…

Uhm, messed up friend request. Anyway, depending on your catering work (if It's Asian then there is much more performance and depth to get).

 

So I suppose my question is, do you perform cosmetic cutting as in making a rose out of 1mm thick shavings of vegetables or do you mainly work with meat and heavy action?

 

If It's the first option then I can help you make your job a breeze (atleast cutting wise, I'm a polisher and strong fanatic of HRC 66 kitchen knives).

While saying that though, the one knife I treasure the most comes from Randy, even more than my swords that cost so much that I don't want to think about it.

Thanks Jim, I guess I can't just lurk! I just think there are so many things to talk about with knives. I mean there is history, design, production, color blade types etc etc The other thing is things constantly change! All kinds of new styles, brands, colors, manufacturing locations etc. Look that book I just read, Kinfolks Knives was just written and it about a company that was popular 50-60 years ago.

I can say that in the trapper and stockman pattern alone you have the two most popular knife styles!

Anyway just glad to have you in iKC and TheStockman Group in particular and whenever you get time to post, well just post away. Steve"Hog" Hanner
