Re: CONN SCHOOL SHOOTING

PLEASE READ THIS ... I blame the murderer first THEN I blame electronic media !! Crazy people have been on earth longer than recorded history. I have no doubt being fed violence on screen (TV, movies, video games) is the main contributing factor why these nut-job a**holes go on killing sprees. This ...

Re: Pinball and a Switchblade

Thanks for the kind words guys. - It’s a very fun hobby. I had a feeling some of you guys were familiar with these things. Most people have no idea they exist. The outside was easy for me - being a cabinetmaker. Scary thing is I’ve learned how to repair them - It’s basically a mechanical computer in...

Pinball and a Switchblade

I don’t know if this slideshow (in story form) qualifies for this site as it’s about the restoration of a vintage bingo pinball machine. BUT it since it has one photo with a stiletto (that I used often during the project) I think it barely makes it on the knife side on the line. Many of you guys see...

Re: Other Cool Stuff ?

RC planes – way cool. I went to watch a friend fly his with his club. One of the members had a jet fighter. It was close to six feet long and had a real turbine engine. --- Wicked fast. Carried enough fuel for 10 minuets of flight time but he’d fly for 8 in case he needed a second landing approach.

Other Cool Stuff ?

Switchblades are cool – this is a fact. I’ll bet most owners are cool too, which means we’re likely into other cool stuff as well. Here’s are a few cool things I like (and recommend). PINBALL - Normal flipper type and especially the (now outlawed) Bingo Pinball type that were gambling machines. FIRE...

Re: The "Nattering Nabobs" are brimming with execrement!

My son is also a cop and said he's never see a switchblade in the wild but he did pick up a thug with a butterfly knife one time. I think my 8cm Hubbie staghorn is a gentelman's poket kinfe that's "cool" without trying to be. It has that classic pocket kinfe look - well made and not flashy. The smal...

Re: Hubertus 8cm Staghorn Needs Help

Thanks for the quick responses. I DID replace the kickspring - though it never felt as snug as I thought it should. The factory had sent me a couple free replacements – both are this way. Are there any tips for tightening this? Unskilled – yes sir you are correct … with total respect due ... please ...

Hubertus 8cm Staghorn Needs Help

I have a Hubertus 8cm Staghorn that has blade wobble and now the stupid thing won’t open all the way most of the time. The blade had slight wobble when it came new out of the box. I tried to tighten it by peening the pin but it’s like it made it worse and I think THAT helped start the “won’t lock-up...
