Exactly. There a lot of people out there that can do a lot of damage with just their hands.

Those are very nice! What sold me on the Shun was how amazingly well they were balanced. But yeah, Tojiro are also extremely well made.

I have a full set of Shun knives and they are fantastic. They were a gift from my parents when we bought our first house. 17 years and going strong. I've never had to take them in to be sharpened. I sharpen them myself before and after use on a sharpening rod and clean them immediately after...

Thank you all for the insightful responses! Much appreciated.

First off, this isn't a political commentary about the NRA. It really has nothing necessarily to do with them, so it would be great if this thread does not devolve into a discussion about that. First, are ranges that offer both memberships and are also available to non-members considered...

I think I may have misspoke or answered in a more tongue in cheek way then necessary. Yes, there are companies I don't support that are blatant. Especially in the realm of certain things that are very personal to me. And yes, that includes the 2nd Amendment. That being said, life is about...

I really don't know. Are there? If you do this for every single company out there, you will find things they do that you may not morally agree with. So a company is Pro 2nd Amendment. But employs child labor in China to make their products. Or they support terrorism because they fund certain...

If you take a hard look at this list, you wouldn't get any medical care, listen to any music, watch any movies and basically live in your zombie apocalypse bunker with food you grew and killed on your own. Good luck with that.

Dude, I SPECIFICALLY mentioned in my post that is has more to do with the heating and crafting process than the actual STEEL ITSELF. And now you are asking me the exact question I was pointing out about? What point are you arguing exactly? Forget it. You're the guru. I think you guys need some...

I didn't see your post until after I finished my edits. You know, you Mods need to seriously chill out. For real guys. Calm down. If you want to start nit picking about nothing, have at it, but sheesh.

Unfortunately, most of the people that begin these encounters are not in a proper state of mind due to alcohol, drugs or they are in the midst of rage. This is why it's so important to know how to protect yourself and end these encounters quickly.

"Surgical steel" is actually terrible. That catch phrase was used to impress. It gets dull quickly and breaks under only mild pressure. And it can rust quite easily.

I wrote my statement very specifically. If you think I implied something, then that is your understanding. Not my words. I would say that the average person has no idea what steel a knife is made of and buys it mostly because it looks cool. And even if they know what steel the blade is made of...

What kind of final performance are you looking for? If the blade doesn't break or bend under regular stress and holds it's edge very well, I would say you have a workable knife. What are people doing with their knives? Yes, I realize many hunt with knives on them to field dress and even crack...

It's not a matter of "belted martial arts expert". An 8 year old black belt means very little and this young person is hardly an "expert". It's a matter of thousands of repetitions in a simulated real world environment. That's the difference between surviving and either not, or being badly...

The government can do whatever they want. Unless The People make their voices heard. And here we are.

The area around there is really quite nice. Real estate there is not crazy and the land and homes can be quite beautiful. I used to work in that area. Robust hunting culture in and around your area. Shotgun, muzzle load, bow, rifle, you name it. Some really nice gun shops not too far, either...

Not a bad price at all. Just paid $41 for a box of 50.

I think it's more a matter of geography. Even though I live in suburbia, there are a few very large plots of land that are privately owned near me, and the landowners both hunt and shoot on their properties. I don't know these people personally, but I know they exist. Truly, if you have a bunch...

Our home security system works exceptionally well. If anything fishy happens, I get an e-mail, a text, and phone call. I have to answer immediately, or the police is dispatched and in my community, they are very fast at responding.
