    Ka-Bar fighting knives

    I practice defensive driving and avoid road rage as much as possible. Our gun culture ruined that hobby and privilege. The Fairbarn is now safely retired to my kitchen knife rack next to a yanahiri for sushi. I use it on blue Stilton and other Monty Python Brit cheeses that lack respect for my...

    At this point , I will withdraw from the thread quoting my Godfather in his iconic role’ Has the war started?’ Rising unseen from a loveseat pelted with broken bric a brac. My lunch ale is just about drinking temperature.

    International Men's Day.

    A spanner and lug nuts can put a tyre back on. JP was embraced by Right Wing America and carried aloft in their arms like a sports hero. His dialog is being defined by Them and losing the audience he should be addressing. As a left winger( inartful pigeonhole ) I see plenty of hypocrisy...

    Ka-Bar fighting knives

    The KaBar WAS issued in WWII and primarily, but not exclusively to the USMC. It has not been service issue for many years. But, the history and allure have made it a stock PX item along with zippo lighters for newly minted jarheads And substitute standard. It’s an iconic knife; not as good as...

    I was referring to a debate with the man himself. He is still a compelling voice worth listening to. I think people have been ‘unchivalrous’ to use a old masculine concept Towards him. I emphasize deeply, having been ill subscribed benzodiazepine by an idiot V A doctor too. The attacks by IE...

    Doctor Jordan Peterson is a compelling and articulate speaker Looks down to the side to gather my thoughts. He is well dressed . I would be very hesitant to blunder into a debate ill prepared. I’ve read his books, enjoyed his earlier lectures even in disagreement. BUT, somewhere, the wheels came...

    Polish Lavvu Mod Advice

    These are now rare and dear in value. I watched member Matt Bigmonster’s YouTube tutorial. I came away thinking ‘ all those Poles managed quiet well as issued. I’m lazy, mine is. Works fine

    Hickory timber supplier ?

    There are US companies online that sell Hickory tool handles. If you have a special project in mind one may serve as a blank. My bucksaw, Akka axe, hiking staff and custom knife all use Hickory. It’s not as flashy as others, but incredibly strong and stable. But from a practical perspective Ash...

    Ka-Bar fighting knives

    With the possible exception of a #1 Moras have a not insubstantial handle adding strength and rigidity. KaBars have stacked leather subject to shrinkage and working loose. Users also find cause to hammer the pommel. The larger package promotes a lot of overconfidence.

    Ka-Bar fighting knives

    Those were a different knife ( name escapes me at the moment) primarily a utility knife for opening supply crates etc. they have an even weaker tang. The knives are OK within their limits. It’s repeated AB-use that starts to loosen things up and tang breakage. I saw a new KaBar dropped on...

    Ka-Bar fighting knives

    Dutch Bushcraft Knives did a review not to long ago. They were a popular knife with Australians ‘in the bush’ post WW2. They usually lopped off the top guard and drilled a lanyard hole. The marines would notch the guard making a solar scale for time and direction. KaBar makes the most pleasing...

    Native Americans Russell Means

    Can we distill this thread to some tangible points? OP admired a Prominent member of our First People’s AKA American Indians, the Slurs Redskins and Blanketheads, Lost tribes of Israel et al. The polite address is to ask ‘ which nation are you?’ Then a green comet appeared. I couldn’t view the...

    This is why landowners despair

    Thankyou for the translations. ‘ on the fly’ is a older phrase for a spontaneous or poorly organized activity here. Language is very fluid and constantly changing . I told a friend to ‘hang up the phone and get some sleep.’ HUH?
