“The Truth Has Become So Dangerous That it is Now Defined as Hate Speech.” / Eric @ Farpoint Farms

A video from Eric @ Farpoint Farms / The XHDATA D 808 SSB Shortwave Receiver. “Perfect for getting unfiltered news.”

Unfiltered?? Well maybe or maybe not – I will tell you this – gather information from as many DIFFERENT sources as you can and pay attention not only to what they are saying – but what exactly “IT” is YOU are being led and or programmed to believe or buy into . . .

That being said – the little XHDATA D 808 looks like a good performing radio – check out the video . . .

I have had several XHDATA radios and for the money? – they are decent little radios . . .

If the majority of “news” and “information” you run across almost sounds identical – almost like it is being scripted – because for the most part it is being scripted . . .

I really need to get this schedule thing figured out – my scheduled Wednesday posts just dropped a little bit ago – wow, just wow . . .

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

SMKW Rough Ryder Bowie – Oh Boy!

A long, long, time ago – everyone would go to the army surplus store and buy “army knives” for camping with the scouts. I don’t remember the price, two numbers are stuck in my head – $5.50 and $8.00 – “IF” I remember correctly ( LOL! ) the eight bucks included a sheath?? There was a 4ft x 8ft table with literally a huge pile of them on it – and probably made by just about everybody who could get a contract during WW2 – which was just about everyone. Now here is a KABAR – very typical of the pattern . . .

This particular knife was a limited edition – United States Space Force – here are the specs for the same “model” – Good Stuff indeed . . .

A good sized knife – right? And then Lynn Thompson / Cold Steel brought out the completely over the top “Leather Neck Bowie” and then offered it in a limited edition “signature” model- and I was all in . . .

And a tip for you folks out there – if you are lusting after a Cold Steel knife – Check with MIDWAYUSA.COM first – they ALWAYS have some good discounts on various Cold Steel models ( be sure to click on the drop down box and you can list by % discount! )

But then Smoky Mountain Knife Works came out with this beast – and I realized – I just thought the Cold Steel Bowie was over the top . . .

The Rough Ryder Bowie is a VERY good looking knife – The transition(s) between brass and spacers / bone / and pakkawood on the handle – about as good as it gets . . .

The steel is 440 stainless – meh – but that brings easy to sharpen and maintain the edge to the table. It is jaw drop sweet in the looks department – practical?? No – Not Really . . .

Compared to the Gerber Freeman Guide Drop Point Fixed Blade Knife I just got in – which I plan on carrying “when” a fixed blade knife would be an asset . . .

. . . the Bowie is just a wee bit more knife than is needed for just about anything . . .

But – as a BBQ knife it works well! After handling this – I might have to look at several other Rough Ryder fixed blade offerings and (I actually have this one) Smoky Mountain also has this available in a Damascus blade as well . . .

Busy Busy Christmas shopping at this point – trying to get stuff ordered and into stockings before it goes out of stock!

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

How About A Twofer Tuesday?

A little something different for you folks – especially YOU – and we all know who this one is headed for . . .

If I get time I’ll put some more together and help make Tuesdays bearable – AND – don’t hold your breath – but(t) maybe a few fanny Fridays – Swear to God I only know two kinds of folks – the kinky folks and those that won’t admit to it . . .

And just for YOU! – not talking about Greg here, but he will enjoy it as well . . .

Just hang in there folks – only three more AFTER today . . .

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

Marble’s “Game Getter” Large Stockman Folding Knife

One of the “names” that had just about vanished into obscurity was “Marble’s” – but thanks to Smoky Mountain (SMKW.COM) – they acquired the rights to the brand, similar to the “Rough Ryder” brand acquisition, and they are back in production . . .

With a 3.25 ” clip point blade and 2.12″ spey and sheepsfoot blades – the little knife has enough blade to handle most any “pocket knife” tasks at hand . . .

4.25 ” closed will slip into just about any pocket alongside keys and stuff without crowding . . .

Even with synthetic scales – it looks pretty good . . . And the old fashioned carbine logo is a nice touch . . .

Good blade alignment and brass liners – looking good!

For an inexpensive Christmas gift for a niece / nephew – daughter / son – or grand kids it will certainly last them. And the 440A steel is great to learn sharpening on – does not take a lot of effort to realize progress and very forgiving for sharpening “errors” . . .

CLICK THROUGH and pick you several up for Christmas gifts – kids of all ages love them . . .

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!
