I had quite a time finding a good straight forward review on “The Tube” – the guy gives you a good look at the radio – no smoke and mirrors and bullshit – just a decent look at it – after picking one up – the only question I’m asking me is why did I wait so long? . . .
Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!
A couple of Cold Steel fixed blades to give you a look at – and something different . . .
And YOUR homework assignment in the meantime? What is SK-5 Steel? – this will get you started – A quick reference is to think of it as in the neighborhood of the steel KA-BAR uses in the combat knives – same church different pew . . .
For the next thing – the look at it will take awhile as I want to get it above the roof line so it’s not at a disadvantage to start with -the MLA-30 receiving antenna – for a pretty good review you can go here . . .
Right at this moment the MLA-30 is stuck out the window on a 10 foot pole and it’s more or less “blind” to the west ( metal siding ) so it’s not a fair comparison to the long wire antenna – the Eton makes it easy to switch between the two antennas as the loop is connected to a BNC connector for external antennas and with a click of a switch it is receiving through the internal whip antenna – just clipped the long wire to the whip – simple and easy . . .
Hopefully have a dribble of “stuff” this week – then the over time is “supposed” to end for 30 days . . . Yeah I know – when pigs fly . . .

In case you were thinking about going to look at cars this weekend – trust me there isn’t much out there worth buying . . .
However – The early 60’s? – There are several here I would definitely take home . . .

A little on the “campy” side – Enjoy!

Knife blades are a real form follows function kind of thing – over 100’s of years of usage people have developed some very specific blade patterns to do different tasks more efficiently – something may look strange – but it’s strange for a reason . . .
Enjoy!
What’s in YOUR pocket??

I like Big Knives I Cannot Lie! – with apologies to Sir Mix-a-Lot . . . LMAO!
Every time I look at something on AMAZONIA in the “suggested” products there are always at least several knives – tell me they don’t have the algorithm thingy figured out – at least for me . . . At $40 bucks I couldn’t pass it up . . .
One Good Looking Knife . . .
That 8Cr13MoV stainless steel clip point blade with a satin finish is pretty – and pretty much flawless – the steel does not have the best edge retention but the trade-off is it’s easy to sharpen – think 440A . . .
A little bit of a departure from most of Cold Steel’s large knives – the Luzon has a lanyard hole – And FRN scales – keeps cost AND weight down . . .
The scales are supposed to emulate the look and feel of bamboo – I wouldn’t know about that as I have never had a knife with bamboo scales – LOL – The FRN scales give you good traction and no hot spots so it’s good with me . . .
Another departure from the “norm” is the pocket clip – it’s FRN not steel and the knife comes with a sliding lock that locks the frame lock into position when open – although as stout as the frame lock is you really won’t need it – but some folks just are not comfortable with frame locks . . .
A couple of close ups of the pocket clip – really low profile – no hot spot issue when using the knife . . .
Wide enough that it grips well so the knife doesn’t move around . . .
Blade centering is spot on . . .
And for what it’s worth – it is made in China – not Taiwan . . . .
Weight wise you are paying for the large blade – the box lists it at 9.3 oz . . .
And of course a glamor shot for you two – and we all know who you are . . .
Let’s round this thing up – shall we? – If a LARGE knife that’s inexpensive – easy to sharpen – and if deep enough ( need about a 7 inch pocket ) rides good in your pocket – easy to deploy, you can drag it across the back corner of your pocket and it opens as you clear the pocket with it ( wave style opening ) or it “flips” open nicely – AND is just way up on the WOW scale – this fits good and doesn’t crunch the budget – it’s only $40 bucks . . .
The only downside(s) to the large LUZON :
The pocket clip is NOT reversible – 8Cr13MoV is not the latest greatest super steel but it’s easy to keep sharp – and as with the other LARGE Cold Steel knives – DO NOT use this to cut up a piece of fruit at the lunch table at work – it will NOT end well . . .
The only question I have – Why haven’t you ordered one – or two ( and YOU know who I’m talking about ) yet?? Come on – what else are you going to do with $40 bucks?? – Buy enough gas to fill the lawnmower? – Buy a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter??
