  1. I got my first couple sets of custom 3D printed SAK scales in and confirmed they fit well, so I just put them up for sale on Shapeways. I'll see about making them available in stainless and bronze, but I don't want to do it until I get a pair in my hands and on a knife. Metal doesn't really give if the fit is tight, so I'd hate for someone to spend the money for them not to fit on the studs.

  2. It still looks like new because it's silver. These colored ones are annodized, so after a few weeks of bumping into this flashlight there's a good deal of silver starting to show through as the anno wears off the raised parts. This photo was taken when it was new.

  3. New from Blade, Emerson CQC-5

    A little late, but I went to the Blade show here in Atlanta as well. I picked up a D25A Ti and a Swiss Bianco Alox Rambler SAK, which was the last one of their small batch in this color. I also picked up a DMT sharpening stone. I'll come better prepared to buy a fancy new knife next year. Soooo many beautiful knives at that show. bladegasm.

  4. I just ordered the first record I've bought in like 3 years because the guy didn't release it in any other format. That would explain why I missed the release last month.

    Also picked up some 320s. I'm surprised by this XI release because I haven't been that into his stuff. Now he just needs to do more like this at 135bpm instead of 120.

  5. I had this grinder for 4 years before i got my baratza virtuoso. I loved it and it worked perfectly every time, it's now in use in the secret cafe of SELA being used on a daily basis. Amazing that people buy hand grinders for as much as they do and not just buy the Breville burr grinder instead.

    Can I ask why you switched? Do you consider the Virtuoso an upgrade? They both cost the same price and the Smart Grinder has more features. I've read that the grind quality really isn't much different between them, so all that's really left is build quality. I was also under the impression from reading a number of reviews that the smart grinder is new on the scene, but you say you've had it for over 4 years. I can't find anyone talking about it before late 2010.

    I'm interested in buying a grinder at this price level.

  6. I can appreciate good kung-fu as well. Like I said, a number of my favs. have already been mentioned in the thread. The bad dubbing, crappy effects and bad quality was what was entertaining to me. Like MST3K without the commentary. Like in the last one I mentioned, for one fight scene they wanted to add in a slow motion thing, but didn't have the ability to do the effect, so they just told the actors to just try to move in slow motion. Ridiculous. That movie is pure comedy. I recommend it for that reason alone.

  7. Nice resurrected thread. Most of my Kung-Fu is Wu-Tang Collection VHS tapes that I was special ordering when I worked at Hastings like 10 years ago. Even then most of what I found in the computer system was unavailable. These are some of my favs that haven't been mentioned already.

    That last one is probably the most ridiculous kung-fu movie I've seen, as far as really bad effects go. The guy on the front of the box isn't even in the movie.

    I also like people like Gordon Liu, Adam Chang & Sam Seed (goes without saying).

  8. If you're concerned about the color, try a little bit of it on the tongue in an area where it won't be seen. You should get a pretty good sense of whether it's going to change the color or not from that.

    I'm not really concerned about it changing color a little, as much as it blending together. I know it will never look like new, but I imagine some ways would probably work better than others. I don't want to mess up my month old boots more than i already have.

  9. What's the best way to try to fix this ugly scratch on my wolverine 1k boots? I picked up some dark brown Fiebing's creme for a few bucks but I haven't used it yet. Later I read that there is a lot of pigment in it, but creams don't cover scratches as well as more waxy stuff does.

  10. http://soundcloud.com/c-r/cold-rockin-vol-11 Tracklist J Dilla - One Two Mosca - Bunching Salva - Obsession ft. B. Bravo Mosca - Bax Sepalcure - Love Pressure Miguel Migs ft. Meshell Ndegeocello - Close Your Eyes Mosca - Dom Perignon Floating Points - Sais

    Good Stuff.

    I just finished recording a new mix today, but I haven't got it uploaded yet. Probably in the next day or two.

    Also, The new Sepalcure album has a few tracks I really dig.

  11. Peak released a new light a week ago driven by a IMR (LiMN) battery at up to 1.9amps that produces up to 650 lumens in a AAA sized flashlight. Their description states "The OTF lumens of this unit should be double the power of anything close to its size." and comes with a disclaimer stating that if left unattended at full power it could reach temperatures hot enough to ignite surrounding flammable objects. That's just silly.

    :eek:

  12. From my EDC a few pages back it's obvious that I'm not really interested in the tactical looking style at all. I've been looking for a nicer knife to replace my Buck 55. I grew up around my grandfather's Case & similar knife collection, so I was looking for a nice slipjoint like that and have been lurking in the traditional knives section on the bladeforum. Some of the customs that knife makers are posting in there are beautiful. I thought I'd share a few.

    Way too rich for my blood, but you can get similar production knives for under $100. I don't feel like I need a tactical locking blade for what I use a knife for and the classical styling and natural materials appeal to me.
