RIGHT ON, SLADE! You condensed down all my verbage to a very eloquent statement of the REAL problem. You are a true patriot and a very wise American. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Bob, your lesson in economics is interesting, but it doesn't make me feel any better about buying knives made in China, Pakistan or other countries with inhumane civil rights policies, and at the sam…

This is a late entry into the February discussion of some of our members' favorite U.S. Navy ships, but I came across some of your photos of ships, one of my passions, and couldn't resist adding a photo that has special meaning to me. One of my favo…

- Thomas Jefferson
We have met the enemy and it is the deluded belief that American capitalism is sacred and self-regulating. We also suffer from our deluded trust in the goodness of our fellow Americans which leads us to belief that politicians, elected officials and appointed public officials need not have any substantive minimum education or other minimum qualifications to be elected or appointed, nor do they need any limits on campaign donations, any age limits, any restrictions on serving as lobbyists after public service, or any limits on multiple terms in office.

I thought I'd jump in here and "end" this thread:
I did send the knife into Case Repair fellowing the instructions on the website. I intentionally tried to forget about the knife so I wouldn't drive myself crazy haunting the mailbox every morning i…
I suppose it all depends on the 'defendant's" political leanings. Seems to me that the enlightened left can get away with murder (or switch-blades), while the conservative folks get in trouble for saying 'dang-it' after something heavy lands on thei…
One has to be careful with WD-40 use, Only 10% of its ingredients are non-hazardous, the rest can be considered hazardous to varying degrees. The following is from the WD-40 Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS):

Thanks for the positive comment,The leather stamps are made from nails.
Man that sure is a beauty,hard core all the way! Gotta love that sheath ,all that leather stacked !!
wow! yeah that's a fantastic list.
I think you need to add WD-40 or a similar product to help remove dirty oil from the pivots of folders or any moving parts and to help loosen stuck screws.
another item would be lok-tite or a similar product to s…
Add a can of Ren Wax to keep them nice and purdy and I also use a little bag of Silica gel to keep the moisture out !
You sure did a good list though! One doesn't even think of all the stuff that you use and accumulate.
