What a joke. That was a style popular in WW2 because they were so quick and easy to stamp out. There was not a lot of labor involved in them. They used them for a paratrooper knife because they could be opened with one hand if they were hung up in a tree. The German paratrooper knives were just...

They look a lot like Browning knives. I picked up a Browning knife at a flea market once for 10 bucks and it turned out to be one of my best knives. That was back when I could get case knife seconds for ten bucks, when Jim Parker owned the company and was experiencing around with some different...

Cold Steel hired an attorney and forced Camillus to remove the Cold Steel knives from the auction and send them to Cold Steel to fill their final order. There were hundreds of hand operations that went into making those knives. It was just to much work for this younger generation. Some of the...

The best workmanship is Case VS Boker as it has been for 50 years. Boker is by far the more modern company today. Case keeps putting out what they have been doing all these years. Otherwise it depends on what the production runs are on the knife your looking for.

You could check with Blue Ridge to see what they may have. I think there was a company in Mansfield that licensed the S&W name to put on a few knives. But they were never in the Taylor Catalog. If there is a difference some of the Upper state NY steel, along with German and Philippine steel has...

Older model what? 1980 Pakistan? For me a true vintage knife would come out of the collection of a WW2 vet. For them a modern repo of a Pakistan knife would be funny. Japan gets their iron from the Philippines and they usually do not use brass bolsters. Brass tends to tarnish and anything...

Maybe this book will help. The science of influence and persuasion is very well established. Funny thing is even the Amish with their horse and buggy have cell phones.

My first wife had a grandfather that sold prepaid pkgs. They say it is all paid for, but it's very basic. When the family comes in to make arrangements they try to upgrade and sell them a better quality whatever. The would do it for the prepaid price but usually the family is happy to pay extra...

In Anchorage if a bear is getting into the garbage the police have to go in and shoot them. My son was camping out and left some hot dogs laying around and a little two or three hundred pound bear made a mess out of his tent and camp site.

They are strong, I saw a video on YouTube where the Raccoon was strong enough to pop the garage door and get out. I had one living in my attic for years. It cost me $500 for the repair work to secure the house so that raccoon could not force his way back in.

I have a Primos 35 that was easy to set up and does not cause me any problems. Although the sensor does not pick up everything. I do not know why because I have a driveway alert system that was only $20 and it picks up everyone. I bought three trail cameras on Ebay and the price was very good on...
