Thank you for this. I just received my first quality knife (Survive! Knives GSO 5.1) and have been researching the most trusted ways of sharpening blades. This helps a lot.

Still a pull-through design, bad idea.

I was fortunate enough to have several of my more expensive knives sharpened by Bill Moran himself. He did it in his shop freehand on a small belt sander using finer grits until he polished them back to mirror finish with a felt wheel. Two the of knives see limited use and to this day can still shave the hairs from my…

So sick of giant phones. Seriously. If Giz, The Verge, Engadget and all the other Gadget blogs could do the world a favor and relentlessly mock these big ass phones, maybe, just maybe the manufacturers will pay attention and make some decent hand sized phones again.

And that's no accident!

The Pripyat tour gets Glowing reviews.

Serrations are for tacticool mall ninjas. If your knife is sharp, you don't need them to cut cord.

Looks like a pain in the ass.

When I was a fish cutter, we aimed for a 12° angle to keep our blades at. Required more frequent sharpening, but man, I kept my knives ridiculously sharp. Bring out the steel every 30 minutes, and re-sharpen at the end of the day.

So, The new Lagonda, is what the new Lincoln Continental would look like if it were around today?

I chose the .257 because it is in the "quarter inch" family of bullets, and this one in particular, the Weatherby .257 Magnum has the highest velocity of any comparable quarter inch bullet. Higher velocity means a flatter trajectory and also more energy in to the target.

I grew up camping, so scouting was a good fit. Scouting didn't give me an appreciation, but did give me the ability to understand and fit into the outdoors. Something that most campers and hikers don't do. They go through the wilderness, outsiders, observers. Scouting helped be be a apart of the wilderness, a far…

Hah I have a 15 minute window between "tired enough to fall asleep in a reasonable amount of time" and the second wind "well shit looks like Ill be laying here for another 5 hours." 930 bed time or not. (Im at the gym by 430am)

... need more ultra light gear to offset the 10lb skillet while backpacking.

The awesome skills you learn in Boy Scouts (Eagle Scout here).

I have a Colt 1911, Beretta 92a1, Mossberg 590a1, and a Colt M4. I have never once felt the need to kill anyone. My firearms have never once hopped up on their own to kill people. I'm pretty sure guns don't kill people ... and responsible people know who how to sight their scope won't all of a sudden feel the urge to…

I sight my rifle the way I was taught in boy scouts and the army. 3 round groups. With a proper target you can be fine in 9 or fewer rounds, even without a rifle stand. Most of my sighting is done from sitting or prone. I'm not the greatest shot, but I can shoot clay pigeons in a stand at 50 meters standing with my…

Pretty sure everyone still thinks I'm a nut.

I see where the rear design influence came from
