"how many people get mowed down..." in NYC, scads. Cell phones are a leading cause of death, no matter where you are. There is nothing so important on your phone that it worth your or another's life. Coming out of a parking lane at a local mall, lady crossing, pushing the cart with one hand...

- Several years ago, I had a Cane Master "weaponized" cane, subsequently gave it to somebody that needed it, but I carried, not walked with, that cane past throngs of cops, not so much as a glance. Carrying that stick, prefaced by, not being derisive or judgmental, but if you gave 5 people...

And combining a few different threads, no matter what else your carrying EDC, the cane, stick, staff or "functional" flashlight you have in your hand, depending on the situation, may be what you need to use, until you can access better. And as repeatedly stated, the tool in your hand, apposed...

I too use the corkscrew for its intended purpose. I carry a ranger. My perfect SAK would be a ranger, with Alox scales, with the awl placed like on the farmer and US knife, and a bail like on an US knife. Or an US knife so equipped. Like the old song, I can dream, can't I? Regards, Jim ETA: I...

Bought a new 5 D cell from Amazon, and the other evening, I noticed the rubber switch cover had gone missing. So I contact Maglite warranty, and I get this condescending e-mail back, that they will send a replacement FREE this time. I ain't looking for free, or favors, but I am looking for...

Like I said, I didn't know where to put it, or if you even wanted this content on your forum, but thought it important enough to post. But hunters and gun owners are first humans that are susceptible to environmental hypothermia. The stories of hikers, campers and hunters, specifically day...

Still waiting on my Wooden Swords.com (Purple Heart Armory) extra heavy cane and the rest of the order. The rubber blunts they put on the end, looks slimmer then crutch tips ;)

For me, the perfect slippy, would be the Farmer with a bail, or an US knife with a saw. Commonalities include metal scales, and the awl at the end where it's useful. The lanyard connection on SAC's have been known to break, causing loss of the knife, and as much as I love the US knife, I use the...

I don't know where to put this, but think it important enough to post. If misplaced or deemed inappropriate, please relocate or remove. One of my mentors, doesn't even get out of his vehicle to pee, without shouldering his ruck. We, mostly without exception, go about our day to day, in our...

It's not flexible with my hands.

I don't carry weapons, I have a flashlight in the car, to illuminate the darkness and I have a walking stick, to aid in ambulation. My knees have torn cartilage, that gets sore sometimes, MRI if you want. The way I heard the story, short versions = weapons. Schools of use existed, as did...

Purple Heart Armory, has practice sticks for Bata.

I have the Svord farmers knife, and I like it. The one I have has an almost full tang, to within 1/4" of the butt. Usual Svord quality with the visible harmon line. It came sharp, and I sharpened it further. The handle is lacquered, with some hard edges. I took off the lacquer, sanded the edges...

I find that at least in my most used flashlight, the batteries die before they have a chance to corrode. I've yet to have a problem if I'm using lithium. I have a Pelican AA Stealth light in my glove compartment, for God only knows how long, lithium batteries, GTG. In my "emergency" lights...
