I have a few USA Kershaws that are great. Im not sure they HRC their steel to the best numbers, but they have good fit and finish.
Hardening is the absolute most important thing for a quality blade. D2 steel hardened to 61-62 HRC can hang with the best. Heck, 10 years ago D2 was considered a...
Sheepsfoot, reverse Tanto, Wharncliff....whatever they are called, I love utility blades. For most of my edc knife needs, I need that point that can slice. Here's one of my favorites.
QSP Penguin
14c28N steel
Button lock
G10 scales
Deep carry reversible pocket clip
Ceramic berrings
Milled steel...
I keep finding Civivis laying around. I need to get stuff together. :)
Civivi Qubit
Aluminum scales
14c28N steel...the best of the budget steel IMO.
Button lock
Ball berring pivot
And of course a bottle opener.
I picture them as very high end hunting knives. Im pretty picky about hunting knives. They must work great, and be CHEAP-ish.
Buck 119 and a couple PKS knives...which are absolutely fantastic....in my opinion.

There are videos of him walking stiff legged onto campus with the rifle down his pants leg.
Also video of him jumping off roof, and running towards the woods where the rifle was found. Officials say there is more video from the surrounding area that has not been released. Its another "wait and...
As far as ive seen with people being fired for celebrating Kirks death have nothing to do with free speech. The owners of these companies choose to not have people like this work for them. The bosses aren't required to allow "free speech" in their business. If you tell your boss they are an ugly...
There are a bunch of Chinese knife companies putting out seriously great knives. The absolute best budget knives ever made. That's not just my opinion, its well known in the knife collecting world. There are of course those that believe any knife under $250 is garbage. In my experience with the...
This has bad idea written all over it. Its just a matter of time before ALL groups are considered mentally ill.
How about this.......
You can be involuntary committed to a looney bin if you're a danger to yourself or others.
I believe chopping your dick or tits off puts you in the "danger to...
Ive lived here my entire life.
Its no worse than any other small town in NYS.
Southern Tier Brewery is ok, but expensive.
There are bars with the same beer, better food, and much cheaper.
There is a dive bar on Jones & Gifford where I spent way too much time at in my younger days. Its called the...
You need to watch more videos on youtube.
I understand the whole don't go stupid places and do stupid shit, but.......
There are a lot of videos of police disarming, unloading and running the serial of law abiding citizens doing lawful things.
Most are at protests or 2nd amendment audit...
THIS is why I hunt turkeys with my $80 NEF single shot 12 gauge. It's easy to clean and....well......I don't care too much.
That said, even though it's 30 years old and the wood and bluing is messed up, the bore and action looks literally brand new.
Exactly why @Bustedknees wants rifles for turkeys, and I agree.
I do like the shorter distance hunting, but sometimes it can get frustrating. Once a Tom is spooked, he's very difficult to bring in for days. At 300 yards, he's dunzo. :)
I do 18-24 hour intermittent fasting a couple times a week. I drink water but I don't miss food for that amount of time. :)
I easily go longer than 9 hours without water literally every night.
Unrelated but I wish ICE would come clean out the dairy farm near us. You may remember my story of when the 2 illegals from Columbia doped a bunch of cows, ruined $200,000 worth of equipment, stole and crashed 2 cars from the dairy, then ended up in our ditch. Then walked up our driveway before...
My wife was the local HR manager for the local Sears and Kmart until they closed in 2019. They used Quickbooks there too. I guess if it works, it works.
I know poverty can "cause" crime, but I don't believe this is a huge cause of gun crime.
There are far more impoverished areas than the inner cities. Places in coal country and the rural South aren't only poor, there is no hope. The Dollar General is fully staffed. That's it, the only employer...
That was my point in my other post, they call all auto loader handguns glock.
But, there are videos on youtube that show 99% of the thugs have actual glocks......with 33 round magazines.
The point @jimc makes below is valid I believe. Being that glocks are so popular with gun owners, they are...
I honestly believe the inner city thugs don't put this much thought into their gun of choice. They have no clue what cops use, they have no clue how reliable glocks are, no clue about military......... Back in the 1980s NWA mentioned glock in almost every song.....the rest is history.
It's more than glocks being cheap, or they would all have HI Points.
Glock is the "thang" and the only strap a gangsta can have.
There are guys in their late teens and 20s that honestly believe that ANY black auto loading handgun is called a glock. Even if they do have a HI Point, they call it a...
Glocks are popular in the criminal world for the same reason that 9mm is so popular with criminals......rap music and young black culture.
If you had a nickel for every time glock or 9mm is mentioned in a rap song, you could comfortably retire.
I'm getting really sick of not being allowed to...
And back in 2017 Trump put Don Jr in charge of a 2a task force. Literally more anti gun laws were created.
If needed I can put together a montage of all the times Trump said he was making a task force and protecting the 2a.
Sinse then.....expanded Red Flag laws, bump stock ban, CCIA, multiple...
Yep, heard about this in Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, March....and now April.
So far, Mel Gibson gets his guns back?
Unless something meaningful happens in NYS, I'm pretty much done with caring.
But they were voted on.
Just not out in the open like the national votes. There was even time for citizen comments before both.
My asking that they vote NO obviously went unheard. :)
Of course they both did pass a Senate and Assembly vote. You just don't remember because it happens fast here in NY. :)
It only takes a few hours. Here is the CCIA.
The president cannot make laws, neither can a governor. But the president can do exactly what Hochul is doing and Cuomo did, like I mentioned above.
He can present the law he wants to the House and Senate and they vote on it. If it passes, the courts rule on any shenanigans from the other side...
I'm not saying that Trump should make laws. But he has a lot of power to push people to demand their congress people to demand action. If he were to wholeheartedly suggest people demand the law makers to protect the 2a, people would listen.
He is by far the most powerful tool to get these laws...
Make federal laws protecting the 2a. Real laws with real protection.
Federal law Trumps state law where constitutional rights are concerned...pun intended.
Make laws that any infringement on the 2a will be heavily punished with fines and loss of federal aid.
When a gun law is overturned by...
According to the people who follow this crap, gen Z is the most conservative in years.
I recently saw a "study" done by.....some group. :)
They polled thousands of gen Alpha kids age 13-17. They were asked who they would have voted for in 2024. 61% said they would have voted for Trump.
I'll...
And THIS is the biggest problem with our courts. I really wish the founders realized this would become an issue. I wish they would have included the right to a speedy trial in ALL court proceedings.
These state and local courts can drag a case out for literally a decade.
All this GVR back to...
"Gun crimes" went down that much nationwide after they went WAY up during Covid. These obvious and devious statistics to FOOL NYers SHOULD alarm any NY voter.
She is as vile an abomination as any politician I've ever heard of.
I would much prefer a pervert to a gaslighting swindler any day.
What can someone expect from such a law? Are they just added to a list? Does the NYSP show up at your house? Are you investigated?
This does not affect me due to reasons, but....
Just my wife and I can go through 500 rounds in a sitting. We sometimes shoot several times a week. Where I buy ammo...
There was no record, no court room.
I was weeks away from leaving for college, and after that a scholarship to Cornell.
I met with the judge in his chambers, just him and I. He told me that if brought to trial, this could affect my future if convicted. And it wasn't a felony. It was a class A...
