Re: Reveal 15 - Live!

How can I increase my odds of getting a 1 or 2 of these Plain edge Cru-Wear Temperance Sprint Run knives? The blade profile looks less tall, and has less belly....a much better self defense option in my opinion.

I like the Temperance and Enuff 2 in K390! These look like excellent carry knives.

Re: Ways to "Thief Proof" cars?

My brother and his son have cars that are frequently stolen and I suggested the Ravelco Device.

Re: My thoughts on the Native Chief LW

Good article! You have inspired me and I have to do a lengthy write up on the Spyderco Native Chief. It may take me a while... I'll start from scratch, take some photos, etc. I will not be taking any knives apart, that is something that I will leave to you guys/gals. I never took any folders apart a...

Re: Native Chief M390 sprint run

Was the S90V/CF available at all retailers? Someone mentioned blades Canada (I'm in the States) The M390 looks awesome, currently budgeting to get one I contacted Blades Canada and they must have had at least one S90V Native Chief in stock, but before I could make the purchase somebody bought the l...

Re: Does sunscreen or sunblock help?

I have no idea. Melanoma is a reality. I take Vit D and stay out of the Sun. Between leisure and work in construction, I have had all of the Sun that I plan to get. At 64, I try to stay away from further exposure. I miss getting a tan once in a while, but that's OK. I wear hats, jeans and long sleev...

Re: Native Chief M390 sprint run

Nice buy. I really enjoy the Native Chief as well. It’s a large knife with a very slim carry. I also have the M390 version, the REX45, and the S90V which I find the handle a little too slick. I am still holding out hope for a 52100 version. I was going to snag an S90V and at least one M390. I inqui...

Re: Native Chief M390 sprint run

Not sure how many of these Sprint Run knives are left but I just bought another Spyderco Native Chief in M390, Satin direct from Spyderco. I may buy another one or two over the next 60 days if they are still for sale. M390 is a great steel! :party-face https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C244GD...

Re: Be safe over Memorial Day

Back in the 90's my then wife and I went down for our yearly trek to Indianapolis for the Indy 500. I think that we attended 6 or 7 times in a row at least. I was driving, and of course we did not know where we were going, and managed to get into an accident. A woman in her early 20's driving 40MPH ...

Re: Martial Arts Experiences Discussion Thread

zuludelta, I never thought about a steel water bottle as a weapon before. Good idea for places where 'weapons' may be forbidden but water bottles are not. I may be wrong, but I imagine that with a partially-filled water bottle, the water inside could potentially increase the centrifugal (?) force o...
