Having locked and deleted 6 threads this morning before i went to work, yeah. The best thing to do is just to hit the report button and let us deal with it. Thanks for the vigilance, guys! -
Hi Marlowe/ Arn / Other admin (are there any other admins?) Cannot access the regulars forum. No idea when it started but i can't even see it on the main forum page. Any ideas?

That gerber will hold an edge because of the steel its made from, not because its a gerber. Sadly i can't see any specs of it, other than 'high carbon stainless steel'. Glad to see that other people are liking the leathermans though, i think its going on my christmas list...

Ok guys, tine for the most tacticool knife suggestions you'll ever make: I need a new knife to cut my fruit up at lunchtimes. Hardcore, yes, i know, So far, i'm looking towards an opinel slimline, they're reasonably affordable, stainless steel, and a decent length and quite a narrow blade, which would really help. So, what folding knife with a blade of around 8 or 10cm or so, stainless blade?

I've seen a bigger spyderco collection than that. Had a few of the mule team fixed blades and everything, inc a full set of insect slipits (ladbug, grasshopper, etc etc) Dont get me wrong, they appear to be nice enough knives, but i wouldnt want that many...

I've got 'normal' disposable cartridge razors (king of shaves Azor, as cheapest cartridges and i like it), a 'safety' razor that takes traditional double edged razor blades (cheap £5 plastic wilkinson sword one from boots) and also a 1800 something german made straight razor (cut throat to you heathens! . The straight gives the closest shave, the cartridge razor is the easiest/quickest, and the safety razor is a happy medium. a much closer shave than a cartridge (like your gillete mach 9 100 blade vibrating POWAH razor), stupidly cheap blades, and takes much less time and technique than a

Hang on. I'm getting myself confused between the SOG EOD and the leatherman MUT. Damn.
-
Yeah, i've been looking at the MUT and its available in the uk for about £100 odd, or from teh states for about £60. might just save up and get one for christmas.
-
Ohhhh shmook. i think i might need to burgle your house... I've been hankering after one of those Higo's for a while. £12, you say? tempting. And the cardsharp has always appealed to me. Not sure if it would count as a concealed/disguised knife though, and never wanted to be the one that found out! Shame to hear its pants. Again with the MUT! gah, you're all making me want to rape my credit card even harder :< Where did you get your's from?

Ok, blades that are only bevelled on one side are commonly known as a 'chisel' ground blade. funnily enough after chisels, which have a flat base, and a sharp edge meeting the bottom of that base, instead of coming to a point somewhere above the base and creating a 'normal' knife edge. there are various advantages and disadvantages to chisel ground blades, most of which i dont know and wouldn't go into even if i did, but usually chisel ground blades are better for marking, accurate cuts (most scalpels, AFAIK are chisel ground) and easier to sharpen. With regards to the serrations, t

I've got a bayonet. I take it to skirmishes. whats wrong with that? i dont put it on a rifle or anything, but its fun to open bottles with at the end of the day if you've got people running around with bayo's fixed, thats your sites problem for 1: allowing it, and 2: letting a knife like that onto the field.
-
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeh. Kind of. The legal exemption for carrying a knife in public is as follows: you do not need any reason to carry a knife with a blade (or cutting edge, the difference has never been contested in court) of 3" or under, that does not lock when opened, and can be closed without any other input from the user apart from folding the blade. This rules out any type of lock, including but not limited to, frame lock, liner lock, ram lock, viro lock (opinel style) etc etc etc. MOST swiss army knives (either victorinox or wenger) are fine, however, SOME do have a locking blad

I havent got a problem with the rep system. in fact, i quite like it. Just my 2 pence.

I recently received two production samples from a batch of airbrake piston heads from LPE - Lees Precision Engineering. Packaging: the packaging on the piston heads (I received both a metal and a plastic one) are perfect. They came in individual ziplock/resealable bags, which are just the right size for keeping fiddly things like tappet springs, bushings etc in! And in a jiffy bag. This is perfectly adequate protection for almost any internal gearbox part, so no qualms there. Piston heads: These piston heads are CNC milled from 2014 T6 aicraft grade aluminium billet (for the metal on
