MANS CHAT must continue on a daily basis, if we hope to keep up with the dribble that spews out of the ladies forum. Gents?

Does anyone else here love cruising hardware stores checking out the latest drills, routers and BBQ'S? I love Hardware stores, sure beats the bejeesus out of shoe shopping

It sure does. I have the good fortune to have a 2nd hand tool shop nearby....some of the stuff in there, in perfect working condition, could be displayed in a museum. Lovely hand tools, lovingly kept. They knew the value of tools back before power tools.

That's not to say I don't covet the latest power beasts on offer at the hardware store.

When I get rich, I will have the most awesomest toolshed and workshop.

My son is a real tool nut and he sort of got that from me, but he's taken it to a higher level. Because Matthew is a custom cabinet maker by trade, he needs the best quality tools available. He's borrowed all my better tools and added a bunch of new ones. When I visit him we are often checking out the quality tool stores... like Lee Valley.

Me, I'm still a knife nut and keep buying more. I always pick up a few every visit to Thailand. This is only a part of my collection that I carry when camping or hunting...

I'm also a lover of fine, double barreled shotguns...

Yeah, I like knives. I wore out a few jean's pockets on that little red handled Swiss Army knife in the centre of your pic.

My current is a special edition black handle but it never goes anywhere now, too frightened of forgetting it's there and losing it at airports.

I never considered it a weapon, only as a bottle opener, fingernail trimmer and general tool. Then my magnificent kitchen knives, but I lost all them, the family court judge thought my ex wife could cook.

Nice, bit of blood and gore for the thread.

I grew up surrounded by knifes and guns, now i own neither.

My hands are registered as deadly internet weapons tho!

the critters get put to good use...

^ Mmmm, I suspected as such.

I just noted someones voted the thread down. I gave it 5 stars and someone else has given it one or two stars (theres only be two votes).

Some resentment out there, perhaps?

I'm with Ian on good quality knives. Fan of Buck Knives and I think I have the same one as he in the picture. Keep a 1979 " Kalinga " for people who need eduction ie don't invade my home

There used to be a "Bunny" knife made in Australia. A small pocket knife but the blade wasn't stainless steel so you had keep it oiled.

Just about sharp enough to shave with.

I believe a company called Spyderco make the best knives now.

I just got it up to 5,   but some sissy/wimp might bring it down. This is a very manly thread.

I forgot my swiss army knife was in my pocket when I went though the Airport at Chiang Mai on the way back to Australia. The security lady with the magnetic detector found it and asked me to put it in my carry on backpack that had just gone through the x-ray machine before they stuck the security tape over it. I did that and forgot about it until I got back to Oz. There it was passed through without a blip on the machine. Meanwhile with most of my major limbs having bits of titanium and stainless surgical steel bars and screws I lit up the dam_n thing and was thoroughly check over for metal objects.

This time back I will remember to remove the knife from my pocket and leave it home.

I like knives. I take particular pride in honing them. Most of my kitchen knives you can shave with if I've just sharpened them, and stay sharp (not shaving sharp) for quite a while....it's all in the angles and the steeling.

Most people are suprised that my steel is very smooth. The steels you get with knife sets are all like files, and sure will sharpen a knife, but never to razor sharpness. A smooth steel, used properly after honing properly, is what makes the difference.

The whet stone I use for finishing is very fine too.....I'd compare it to 5000 grit garnet paper, if there is such a thing.

Me, I'm still a knife nut and keep buying more. I always pick up a few every visit to Thailand.

I like the Kershaw Ken Onion line too.

I wonder if anyone is selling them in Thailand? I had thought of taking a few over for my brother in laws.

One of my valued travel memories is going through security at Diosdado Macapagal Airport (Clarke) in the PI on a flight to Cebu City. I only had a carry on bag and of course the scanner went "ding" over the little black SAK. I thought I was in trouble but was directed over to a "weapons check-in" counter where I lined up with all these heavy Philipino guys unholstering their 357 magnums and Colt 45s.

When I got to Cebu I picked it up, neatly packaged in a brown paper parcel.
