Yes, I know there is a sub for knives but I see cool shit posted here in GD by people who aren't in the sub then forget what the title of the thread was and then get bored trying to search through every random knife related thread in GD.
This is what I usually carry for long bike rides: 
 A waved Spyderco Delica and a Kwaiken by Dynamik Blades aka Smithy

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By olds442tyguy: I’m going to do it in fashion of the first 0393 model where only the blade flat is coated and the grinds are not. I only like bare steel on flashy knives typically. Not as bad but still not a fan of blade coatings in general. Personal preference only. If that's what you like/want, them go for it! And come back to post pics. Even if it's not what I'd want on my own knife, I can still appreciate how it looks/works. And it sounds like it will look pretty good. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rbb2: He has, verbally. We'll see shortly for sure. He was bitching about my refusing to subpoena/habeas a witness that is in federal custody on meth manufacturing charges to testify for him. Because that guy would be a great witness, right? Three felony burglary/theft counts, plead to one misdemeanor criminal mischief, 30 days, no probation. I had gotten him a deal for no jail with probation but, apparently showing some self awareness, he would rather do some jail than be on probation. ETA Hearing concluded, all done. Good deal. Now I have to go to the jail to meet a couple new court appointed defendants, then work up a seven figure real estate closing for tomorrow morning.

The double-standard that is more and more apparent for the federal "elite" absolutely sickens me. I agree completely with the parts in red. The legal system works best when all parts do their job properly. The last few years have shown quite clearly that prosecutors are not infallible and in some cases hostile to the rule of law. You are 100% correct about law's applying to everyone or no one, (paraphrased a bit). As a Marine I've been to places where there was no law, it was brute force and anarchy. That is the result when there is no law. If defending people who are pieces of shit and doing it so well that they are acquitted is the price we pay, oh well then. The cops and the prosecutors need to up their game so they can get better results in court. Any Judge that rubber stamps things, (on either side) should be recalled/impeached, IMO. The system works best when it's fair. Period. Sorry for the thread hijack....just my thoughts from my little corner of the world. |

I like to keep things fresh. Maybe you should try that too and your wife might even come around to liking you.
For instance. I have a beard in winter and none in summer for reasons. Wife says she likes it because she has a summer boyfriend and a winter boyfriend (but apparently she likes the winter boyfriend more). Going from winter to summer I usually take a day to do a partial shave. This year I went with the horseshoe mustache. She likes that. She calls me her "side piece". I am also forbidden from telling her other boyfriends. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SecretSquirell: What's the context behind it? Just high school girl drama? Brian Kim (Transparent Knives) posted a low hardness test of a Hinderer a couple weeks ago, and expressed his opinion that the heat treat they use on 20CV (or it may have been M390) is lower than it should be to get optimal performance. He specifically said on his video that the margin of error could get it up to Hinderer specs for the heat treat, and that other blades he'd tested were within their specs, but he doesn't like the spec. I believe he also said that based on what he's seen from others, Hinderer's S45VN is treated and performs very well, and would be a better choice. Hinderer jumped his shit, there was a bunch of drama from Hinderer fans, and now this. Edit: IMO Hinderer was the one doing the defaming in the whole thing. Brian was stating his opinion, which anyone is free to agree or disagree with. Hinderer, rather than explain why they choose that spec, said he was wrong, said his test was invalid, and that he doesn't know what he was talking about. Hinderer's whole argument is an appeal to authority, basically saying "I've been doing this for 35 years so I know better than this kid" but he's never backed that up with a WHY his way is better. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rbb2: Brian Kim (Transparent Knives) posted a low hardness test of a Hinderer a couple weeks ago, and expressed his opinion that the heat treat they use on 20CV (or it may have been M390) is lower than it should be to get optimal performance. He specifically said on his video that the margin of error could get it up to Hinderer specs for the heat treat, and that other blades he'd tested were within their specs, but he doesn't like the spec. I believe he also said that based on what he's seen from others, Hinderer's S45VN is treated and performs very well, and would be a better choice. Hinderer jumped his shit, there was a bunch of drama from Hinderer fans, and now this. Edit: IMO Hinderer was the one doing the defaming in the whole thing. Brian was stating his opinion, which anyone is free to agree or disagree with. Hinderer, rather than explain why they choose that spec, said he was wrong, said his test was invalid, and that he doesn't know what he was talking about. Hinderer's whole argument is an appeal to authority, basically saying "I've been doing this for 35 years so I know better than this kid" but he's never backed that up with a WHY his way is better.

I swear some knife makers have the maturity of an 8 year old. |
