  1. George Zimmerman deserves nothing more than what he already got.  If he didn't want the backlash from all of this, he should have thought about that when he chose not to follow instructions from the 911 operators and to continue following the kid.   While George Zimmerman may have been found not guilty of the crimes he was charged with, he was guilty of being an idiot and PUTTING HIMSELF IN A BAD SITUATION. 
  2. I say Blur as well.  Great knife. 
  3. Burch is top notch. And a great guy to boot. I'll be entering every lottery I can until I score one. Maybe I can get on his books next go round. Plus he has a run of mid techs coming soon.
  4. The 777 is a grail for me.  I'll likely never luck up on one but I've been lucky enough to fondle one.   Its truly an incredible piece.  
  5. I have loved this knife since it was announced last year.  Unfortunately, with G5 coming up, I'm not in a place to get one right now so I'm going to miss the boat on it.  Its a shame too because I'm missing on every ZT that I want.  
  6. Dave is top notch! 
  7. The Phantom is a great can.  I have the stainless version which is a little on the heavy side but I shoot it from a bench.  POI shift is negligible and repeatable and I didn't pay a grand for it.  Suppression is great.     I wouldn't bother with the silencerresearch site personally, as they are out of date on most stuff and you can get the same or better information for free from other places. 
  8. I'm gonna say don't do that.  A 9mm can will most likely block the sights of a 22 and it will be really front heavy.  
  9. I love my phantom but the mite has gotten on my last nerve.  I'm fine with the suppression but after having to make my own tool and use a vise to take it down, I lost it.  I'm going to be sending it in for a retrofit.  K baffles here I come. 
  10. I need to remake this video with better lighting and camera work but its really not that hard.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHVOnNS0_Y8
  11. So there is either insult or compliment?  No middle ground for you?  I'm being dead serious right now.  I wasn't trying to insult you.  I was using your post to explain my position.  No worries though.  If you are offended, thats on you.  
  12. Thanks man. I was hoping to grab a couple folders while there but I missed out on the ones that I really wanted so I went fixie crazy. I know for sure ill be picking up one folder at the gathering though and I'm aiming for two. No more fixed blades this year.
  13. So I've posted a couple of Dylan's knives before. One of them was the Operator 575 that I picked up from him at Blade Show 2012. Well I was an idiot and broke the tip off when cutting some ivy off one of my trees. I sent it back and Dylan made me a new one. He reground the old one into a new shape and I told him it was his to do whatever with. Well I was supposed to pick up the new one at Blade this year and instead, I traded it back to him for a new version that is all blacked out. You can see it here. Its the top knife. The other knife that I posted before was the little survival knife, PSK Bones! I still love this little guy. The other knife I got from Dylan this year is a new model for him. He is calling it the Esteban. Its just a great little either EDC or small bushcraft knife. Like the new Operator, it has black canvas micarta handles over black then red liners. And it came in a great little piece of kydex with teklok. Dylan's work has definitely improved over the last year and I love his designs. They are definitely more bushcraft oriented but I wouldn't hesitate to carry and use one every day.
  14. Mike, I'm sorry I didn't get by the ZT booth for you but there were some issues I had that prevented me from seeing most of the show.  If I get another chance, I'll definitely check one out for you.  And also, go ahead and add the 801 to your list.  Its going to be an incredible knife.      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY3woOE8YaI
  15. I wish I could remember who made it and what they called it but something cool I saw at Blade was a IWB setup.  Granted it was for a smaller blade but it ties to your belt and then you just tuck it into your waistband.  On the draw, the short tie will stop the sheath and the knife will be drawn.  It was great for smaller blades and allows you to resheath and tuck without fear of stabbing yourself.  
  16. Decide for yourself. The top picture is from Poltergiest Works back in 2009. The second pic is Jason Brous' Division Flipper during the design phase. I don't know what the third pic is for.
  17.   1.  I don't recall singling out you and your church.  Like you said, I don't know them and couldn't make a fair assessment.     2.  I wasn't trying to insult.  I was simply trying to make a point.   If I was trying to insult you, I would have called you a big headed meanie face and thrown poo in your direction. 
  18. Do you think that there is some sort of Homosexual Illuminati that meets regularly and plans the gay take over of the world?  I find that first paragraph of yours to be hilarious! 
  19.   I'm sorry, do you know me?  How do you know that its just that one post and not me in general?   I have very different views on Christianity from pretty much every Christian I've ever met.  I believe in God and I believe that Jesus died for my sins.  But I also recognize the Bible as a flawed document written and interpreted by men.  Of course, this post is going to spark an entirely new debate and conversation and that is why I was hesitant to post it before.  But, the Bible, as we know it, is an amalgamation of different translations and interpretations from men.  Christians have long held that the Bible was written by men but guided by God's hand.  Where was God's hand when King James was having his own translation written?  How about the earlier translations into English?  Or the later translations.  I can get behind the story that God wrote the Bible through people.  I can't get behind a theory that God then used a bunch of other people to translate the Bible into different versions that can be interpreted differently.  And to take that a step farther, I will NEVER get behind getting my lessons from someone else.  I have been able to read since I was 3 years old.  I can see the words on the paper and determine what they mean for myself.   I'm passionate about reading the Bible for myself because I have attended a great number of churches through the years.  I have seen numerous preachers use the pulpit to preach their own agenda.  It was once told to me that Sermons are for a preacher to tell his stance and Bible Study and Sunday School are for us to question and debate every aspect of the Sermon.  I believe that to be true.  Preachers are fallible men just like us.  Even they can get things wrong.   As for the Scouts, I've always been proud to be an Eagle Scout.  And I still am.  I will never differentiate between pre and post gay whatever.  I'm sure there were some gay scouts active when I was and I'm even more sure that there were some gay leaders.  None of them ever bothered me or anyone else.  Scouting teaches that one should be morally straight, but wouldn't that include not judging your fellow men?  When it did it become morally okay for me to exclude you from anything based on hatred and fear mongering.  Part of scouting and a huge part at that, is uniform.  the uniform represents more than just some clothing.  Its about taking away differences.  Showing that we are all just boys learning to be young men.  Showing that we are all the same.  And whether you into dong or redheads, you are still a boy and still welcome in the scouts.  To all of the scouts that are fearful or showing hatred towards gay scouts, I have to ask, just what exactly were you taught in scouts?  
  20. Try a really fine scotch brite pad and then follow that up with a light coat of frog lube
  21. Have you tried a scotch brite pad?  Really fine one?
  22. I love that you let other people tell you how to think and how to interpret the Bible.  Do you check with your pastor before you post anything to make sure you are getting it right. 
  23.   He was a machinist before he started making knives.  He knows his way around a mill for sure.  And all of his stuff is done on a manual mill.  No CNC for Jason! 
  24. I hate to talk bad about someone but Brous is known for copying other people's work.
  25. Who said it was tacticool? It isn't black and doesn't have any picatinny rails. Anyways, I can sell this right now for more than I paid. And to me, that is never a waste of money. You'll learn about investments when you get passed grade school. Haha
