I like both G10 and Micarta. I have a slight preference for micarta but I am ambivalent about the burlap micarta coming out of China. Both Micarta and G10 are good products. In my hand, micarta has a more organic quality to it whereas the G10 seems to less affected by high humidity or oils...

In the event that we are actually talking about the actual UK MOD golok style machete, the fakes have pushed actual selling values down quite a bit in the USA. I am not referring to copies, like the Condor, but outright fakers, including the markings. Since the fakes appear genuine and have the...

I'm confused? It's now OK to buy Russian gas? What about the massive supply of UK owned gas in the North Sea Oil Field north of Scotland?

This is, in fact, a fiction and it must be stated as untrue. You have a right to your opinion but you don't have a right to others buying into this insane line of thought. The United States is a diverse place, with many differing points of view. Arguing that American political leaders should...

I'm not sure what American blood thinner you guys are referring to but warfarin is like two or three generations back in technology. There is actually quite good reasons to look at the more sophisticated blood thinners. As we age we are prone to internal bleeding from the esophagus, stomach...

Like a machete, a hatchet and a large knife had a child. Did you get the wonderful leather sheath that they offer for sale?

Agreed. The fact that it has two grinds and two positions on the handle is remarkable for me.

That is unfortunate, still, I can wish. I do thank you for enquiring on my behalf.

That is absolutely shocking.

President Trump now runs the UK? Companies now have citizenship?
