    Spyderco Sharpmaker Question

    Thanks for the replies. It's good to know I'm not the only one with this issue. I did follow the four step process described in the manual with the medium stones first and then the white stones. It should be noted that my gray stones have no marks, only the white ones. Two of the knives...

    Spyderco Sharpmaker Question

    I've noticed some people here on CPF have the 204 and I have a question about it that I hope someone can answer. I've had my sharpmaker for about a week now and have sharpened maybe 6 knives with it so far. Results are very good, but the corners of the white stones have started to develop...

    What makes you proud to be an American?

    Aren't Surefire, Arc and Sreamlight U.S. companies? Did I miss something?

    should pot be legal?

    I think so, yes. Decriminalizing Marijuana to some extent could free up crucial law enforcement tools that might be used in other areas such as anti-terrorism, and billions wasted in a drug war that can't be won if the people don't support it. Yes there will still be cocaine, heroine, meth...

    Canoe buying advice?

    Does Old Town still make the Discovery 158? Maybe I've missed it, but I don't see it on their site anymore. I might be looking for a used one soon. Can they get "ruined" in any way that I should look out for? Thanks - Sean

    is this. for.. real..? the soldier and the sign?

    Well he's not a US soldier bud because we don't have lance corporals in the US Army. The point was he's probably an IRAQI. That's why I was slick and put the "SOLDIER" and "MARINE" in quotes -- get it? As for the woodland vest with the desert BDU's, there was an article in the Army Times...

    is this. for.. real..? the soldier and the sign?

    I agree with Rothrandir. I didn't blow up the picture but I see no name, no rank and that "soldier" is wearing almost no gear and what he has on is mismatched. He also looks like it is possible he is an arab himself. EDIT: sorry "Marine"

    Army Medics

    Okay, I'm not a forum member but my husband is and he pointed out this thread to me. I just got out of the Army Medical Corps less than a month ago and I thought I could add my $0.02. So here goes. First of all, the old addage that recruiters are liars is pretty much true. They won't give...

    Truck repair? Scrap? advice

    just pry the head up enough to scrape off the old gasket and slide a new one in place and bolt it back up. Worst case scenario you're out the cost of a gasket and some silicone. Heck of a lot better than the $700-$1000 your mechanic wants to charge you. if the gasket blew because of another...

    Idea: How to deal with vicious criminals in prison

    I understand the prevention aspect, but I think there's more there. Our society accepts killing under certain circumstances, but not others. I don't see a gluttony for death. I see an open society of approaching 300 million people, and amongst all of those people some will be murderous. It's...

    Idea: How to deal with vicious criminals in prison

    I don't like the death penalty, but I'm not convinced by the argument that says the dp is more expensive than a life sentence or that it actually raises violent crime. Not because I don't believe the studies, but because of what's NOT IN the studies. If these criminals thought they wouldn't be...

    Idea: How to deal with vicious criminals in prison

    Well, some prisoners in an Az facility just took two tower guards hostage, so I guess for now the vicious criminals in prison are deciding for themselves...

    Supreme court gone south.

    I'd say Godwin's law killed far fewer threads than Internet Warrior Syndrome has. Some people, rather than use a forum for the exchange of ideas, would rather take a swing at whoever comes near them. Straw arguments and accusations, combined with selective hearing and creative editing can make...

    **Is the Inova X5T bright enough?**

    The X5T is one of my favorite lights. It's super tough, waterproof and doesn't have any sharp stuff to snag on anything. And they can be had for such a reasonable price right now that they make super daypack lights, or even an EDC. I have the L4's, the LS's and such but the cost ratio on the...
