    Actually, we've flown back from Newark once and you are correct, they could not be bothered to look at us either.

    JFK is a whole different ball park, there you are guilty until proven innocent. Interesting post script to that is that since we had Tommy I have found that Airport security staff are much nicer to us everywhere else we have been (Singapore, Tokyo, Kyoto, UAE, Qatar, Germany, Spain), everywhere except JFK.

            I found that once I started wearing a business suit on trips I stopped getting searched.

                Took delivery of a sharpmaker today, amazing bit of kit. It got my abused, never sharpened 20+ year old buck 110

                  yea, those are awesome.  Unfortunately, when we moved this last time, that was the only damn thing that got lost in transit.  None of my wife's shoes or other excess bullshit failed to make it.  Just my sharpmaker 😢

                    I've got three good Japanese stones, I've watched tons of YouTube sharpening videos, and I'm still scared I'm going to feck them up.

                        I find it ironic that they claim these knives are "hand crafted" but are stamped out a dozen at a time

                        I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                          Yeah, they should say, "hand crafted from blanks stamped 12 at a time." What impact does stamping the blanks have on long term quality? It would be cool if they had a "heritage" line that was all hand done, or better yet Damascus.  I'm just such a sucker for that beautiful leather grip…

                            Stamping can cause stress fractures in the steel

                            Also, I'm not sure that high end steels can be stamped. Ka Bar uses cheap steel

                            Most high end knives are hand cut, laser or water jet cut

                            Bark River Knives makes nice stacked leather handles. I've heard there are issues with their warranty service though

                                got it wrong >:(, its a buck 112,
                                still love this knife, even though I've added a few modern folders recently. Shame the british law is so blinkered (imo!)

                                edit, the edge looks pretty ragged there, more work ahead… ??? 😢

                                  my pick ups from the weekend, more a old knife guy then modern


                                  not a switch blade (god i wish it was) but still a pretty slick little italian made number
                                  really dig the lock on it


                                  don't you know there ain't no devil? only god when he's drunk!
