    If I have the parts to assemble a model 66-2 smith but I don't have the frame itself, where would one begin to look? Numrich isn't helpful as well as ebay and GunBroker.

    James Yeager has Died

    I know he was controversial to alot of people but he was instrumental in how I trained and practiced and got alot of "tactical" knowledge about. I watched him for over 10 years when the only guns I had were a single shot 12ga, a .243 Winchester 70 and Ruger Blackhawk. I hope he went to the other...

    Walking stick for canids

    I am working across the street from my neighborhood, needless to say walking is better than wasting gas. I work from 6am to two so I leave the house at 530 before the sun is up and we have foxes and coyotes around the area. I carry a pistol and knife like most of you but I don't want to shoot in...

    "I didn't carry my gun because you are"

    Mods please move or delete if not relevant or against the rules... Have you ever had this happen to you ? A friend/family goes with you to say lunch or something, they are gun people like you, but ask if you brought a gun and then they leave theirs behind since you are carrying yours? Edit...

    Custom Bowie on its way

    A little while ago I posted about the knife maker Mike Kahil and his company 310 Forge and one of his handmade little knives called the mini scalper. Well in that thread I mentioned he was building me a custom Bowie reminiscent of the Bart Moore design. The blade is now complete and should be on...

    Custom Case Bowie

    Well I wanted an IWB sheath akin to the old Cold Steel Laredo and Natchez bowie sheaths with the "southern comfort" style of carrying. I had my local leather worker make this thing up for me and it is darn sweet. I carried it while grocery shopping and it was very comfortable. Now I don't...

    Warm memories and Cold Steel

    We all have a favorite knife brand, yeah they're nothing but Steel and whatever Grip material but some brands transcend just being a knife, for me that brand is Cold Steel much more to do with my father than Lynn Thompson and crazy marketing videos (though they did have a part). My father...

    Starting a knife production company

    Would it make sense in general to start a new knife production company given that the market already has established players ? With the Cold Steel news going around it makes me think if theres any profit to be made to continue to make niche large folders and especially if the triad lock or other...
