Trump will win, but it will be no time to let up on the Left. These fools have done more damage in 8 years than the Hippies ever did during the 20 years of the "Beat"/Hippie movements ever did.

The Kephart is made from the 7" Butcher Knife. One needs to use a Dremel with a metal-cutting saw blade. Then employ a belt sander to reshape the blade (I saw it done on you tube). After it's been reshaped to the desired form the handle needs to be sanded down to a slimmer profile. It's quite a bit ...

I have the 7 5/8" version and it is button open/close.

Very impressive. I like it.

I think that the pull unit on the base of the knife is how it's cocked. How it's fired I don't know.

Belay this post.

It's a lockback I presume? Sweet knife. Love the swedge blade. I'd like to see Paul Panak try his hand at making something like that.

The METIS is a single edge knife. The DADLEY seems more like the "Sticker". At $9.97 + shipping, how could I go wrong? Dad always liked the Old Hickory "Skinner" knife. (I'll confess that I like it too). I am considering an 8" "Slicer" as well as a "Skinner" for kitchen use.

I bought one of their Picklocks an am very happy with it. Their 1095 steel is very good. I just wish that I could have had it in a Standard blade. Aside from that, the knife is perfect. Roadside imports does a great job. I bought a custom automatic Queen #1L swing guard from Roadside Imports and hav...

In that second photograph, the (w)itch looks as if she hasn't taken a dump in a month! (This just illustrates how full of s#i# she really is).

She has more chins than the San Francisco Phone Directory! (Do they still print those)?

Dear Dave: You are quite brilliant in your approach. My hat is off to you! Do you remember the old "button on the bolster" knives of the 1040's-1950's? I though this may had what you were attempting to achieve. The entire project is absolutely fascinating. The blade length is marvelous, and I think ...

Sweet looking Honey Horn 11" Bayonet Picklock. You may be right about the "vintage". It may be earlier, but I'm not an authority. Bill DeShivs may be able to "pin it down". Unfortunately, after the 1958 Switchblade Act, the Switchblade knife manufacturers of Maniago, Italy began making more and more...

These are just some thoughts that I have wanted to see resurrected. Schrade-Walden had some marvelous knife designs that date back to 1910. The "Hunter's Pride" was discontinued in 1957. This is truly regrettable because it was a useful pattern that, if brought back today, could be held together by ...

Go to http://www.fastech.com and look carefully for the Ganzo. Buy one, then tell me what you think. Bill DeShivs thought enough to buy one for Debbie's heavy use. This knife is built to both "dish it out" and "take it" as well.

Beat that for the price.

That picture is a perfect example of what I have been saying for the past 7 1/2 years.

I didn't mean to be either abrupt or presumptuous. If you look at the Due Bois forged automatic video on You Tube you'll get an idea of what I meant about making the liner and bolster in one piece. If you also take a look at the 1950's Schrade-Walden "Hunter's Pride" you'll get a very good idea of w...
