Never store a knife for long in a leather sheath (or other material that holds humidity).

I don't yet have a Loveless-style "Big Bear" sub-hilt fixed blade knife - but I'd like to get one! Especially from either Thad or Zac Buchanan out of Oregon. I think I'd like the firmer grip feel of the double pommel handle.

I do not like a pommel on the end of a knife but it is important on a saddle

Due to some health issues I was unable to load a word as of yet today. So, with that being said...everyone will have until noon tomorrow to enter todays sentence and then we will choose a winner.

Todays word is TANG

THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING YA'LL

The Tang dynasty of China (618~907) was known for its encouragement of the arts & literature.

.
It is an urban legend that Tang was created for or by NASA .. it was simply NASA's use of tang that brought it notoriety.

Also, when using a hidden tang in the manufacture of a knife .. I prefer to 'rough it up' to enhance its adherence to epoxy. I will generally also pin it in place.

And .. I do prefer the tang of a garden fresh tomato.

Tang it all .. did I miss one ???

Yes you did, D ale, & I'm not saying it's WuTang Clan -- I'm just not sayin'. :)

The astronaut Buzz Aldrin said of the drink on Twitter, "Tang sucks !!"

Here's a problematic issue with a knife manufacturer that was, no doubt, marketing these knives as full tang. This is flat-out messed up. Would anyone have ever guessed a "limited edition" knife could have such a limitation?
