• Possible Downtime Alert

    I am working to migrate THR from the current cluster to a new one. I would like to get this done before the weekend, but it's unclear what the timeframe will be, as testing is still ongoing. As I am writing this the new (rebuilt) host is doing a burn-in to ensure that everything will keep running under load.

    When the migration happens users will see a Cloudflare message indicatating it cannot connect to the server. This is expected, and depending on how the migration goes this may last from 30 minutes to 3 hours - I won't know more until testing the various migration options is complete and I have finalized the plan.

    More information is available in this thread.

    As always, thanks so much for your patience.

    A most beautiful knife from the Bitterroot

    Keep working! All knifemakers started somewhere and if you didn't have a mentor it's pretty much trial and error. I had a bucket for screwed up blades and it filled up and then some. At about knife #20 they started to be acceptable but of course that more you make the better they'll get. There's...

    Knife Rights Ultimate Steel

    Is going on NOW! https://kniferights.org/ultimatesteel/2025-ultimate-steel/ Give early, give often lol. I donated just $20 last year and won a $500 custom, so this year I bumped it to $100 which gets you a free SOG knife too!

    Destructive Test of a Knife

    Bob, THAT POS would fail the second it really tried to cut something. Kind of like the first knife I made,, it is ugly, horribly made and good for nothing.

    Worksharp Precision Adjust Elite Sharpener

    That's exactly what I meant, most factory knives I've sharpened have two different bevels.

    Painted safe... durability?

    The stock paint on my National Security safe is as good as new and it's about 20 years old. But of the wife gave me OK to get the upgraded finish I'd be all over it!

    Worksharp Precision Adjust Elite Sharpener

    Most of the knives I've sharpened on my Wicked Edge don't even have the same bevel angles on both sides so I have to even them up. I start each knife by using a black marker on the edge and adjusting the angle until it takes the black off the edge, then I go to sharpening/re-beveling. Some...

    Couple of holster making attempts

    Y-T71 - All I can say is WOW to the leather work you are doing! I have done some myself but nothing that good. As to the drinking, I was a lush and quit cold turkey 8/10/89 when I found out I had liver failure. Nothing I have done since would've been possible had I not quit - life is much...

    John Lloyd Custom Slipjoint

    It's a hefty knife, the blade is about 3". I did not think I could get Mammoth scales for $450 but I got a deal on this.

    John Lloyd Custom Slipjoint

    I love slipjoints and have many, mostly Case. But this custom is something else!

    John Lloyd Custom Slipjoint

    You might remember that I won a $500 fixed blade from Knife Rights. I sold that knife for $450 and found this for sale on FB for the same price. Lanny's Clip, beautiful Mammoth covers and great walk and talk. Enjoy! There's a few light scratches on the blade, but that's fine as it'll be a...

    Carry Guns Over the Years

    I got my first CCW near Sacramento CA in the 90's and carried either a Star Firestar (heavy!), or a Makarov in .380. I moved to LV in 2003, got my CCW again and this time carried a Kimber CDP in .45 auto for many years. Now I have bought 2 9mm's, a Sig P365 Macro TacOps and a Springfield Armory...
