How To How To Learn Good Stuff

So rather than desist you're continuing the harassment.

Your choice.

It's not your place to warn me. See to your own behavior.
 
Well, if the harassment and threadkilling posts stop I won't have anything to report.

So can I get on with my thread without them harassing me now?
 
OK, Group, the other moderators may not have interacted with all of you in the past, but I have. You all know each others personalities. This thread started with a good idea and was turned to vomit quickly. All of you are not making any headway in the broad moderator world by continuing to create dogpiles and or pushing the line of your replies. Moderators, and I mean several, are watching the Buck Forum and I mean the entire crew of posters. You notice how they don't mince words. I have defended you and tried to nuge you to not make this a Whine and Cheese forum. It would have been a noble effort if even temperament on all sides could have been shown. I quess I will go copy some of the rules and start posting them along with offical WARNINGS which will go on your records. Then you will start to see a moderator dogpile on both sides of this internet battleground. I told Dogpound I was wrong but the rest of you all are going to start getting some cold blooded moderation from me and others. And from the OP on down, calm down. Enough said on my subject. Lets make the thread useful. And as far as links go just because one computer sees something others do not, no computer is holy. 300Bucks

EDIT ADDITION I hate to see a noble purpose go down the tubes. The thread is not locked but the bickering is troublesome and scares newbies.. VP I am not tech person at all. The first 5 links do not work for me either trying directly from Buck forum posting after that some of the links worked. If we can get some links that work and get more info posted I will volunteer to clean this thread up and make it a gentle reference.

Since linking a name search seems problematic, I'll just pass along the names (some additions have been suggested).
Just use advanced search and fill in the member search space and you can get everything they've posted over their history.
These are people who have answered a lot of questions and been involved in the most informative discussion threads.

Feel free to post additions......these are just a few of the expert old timers.
I'll post a few of the more interesting things I've found in the next few days.
Add your own if you wish.

PlumberDave was a good photo and info person. Rest his soul. However, we lost all his photos in the PhotoBucket uprising. Also HKingdom and TinSue. Add Evil Eye
Earl also.
I have lost all my 300 info posts photos to PhotoBucket also. I 'could' try and go back and restore them but if I do I think it would be best to just compile them in one giant thread on 300s. Several people that are lurkers or even posters have lost PhotoBucket photos and it would be nice if they would search for themselves and see if they still can figure out how to restore their own photos in those good info posts. All of this is a valuable but difficult effort that really would benefit the future. 300

If you guys are truly interested in trying to salvage this thread for the betterment of the forum, may I humbly suggest a title change? The current title has a somewhat juvenile, condescending, baited tone. Maybe something more along the lines of, “Buck history threads; member names to search” or something similarly descriptive. Just a thought. HTH.

This thread does not belong to some "guys." I'm the one who started and named it, so talk to me. There's nothing "juvenile" about it and insulting me and getting your buddies to "like" your insult is just a continuation of the bad behavior that threatened to destroy the thread.

Rather than continue the off topic harassment, you have two choices.......you can contribute ON TOPIC or you can PM me to discuss this.
Thank you again.

Ps, I don't know SpyderPhreak.
 
I loved this one by CJ.

We've had some discussion here about spine whacking.

His last sentence is practical advice that could benefit a lot of people when closing their knives.

The thread itself is three pages of expert discussion of locks.

You guys are a hoot...The Sawby #532 was a very interesting model for us. It was a new lock that if you "whacked" it just right the momentum of your strike would actually compress the locking spring which would unlock the knife. In a funny way it was designed to be a great knife that would fail the spinewhack everytime. There is a humorous in hindsight story of our Sales manager explaining why we were withdrawing the knife from production at a trade show to an account. He "spinewhacked" the heel of his shoe only to have the very sharp knife close on his hand. Bleeding profusely, he was not asked any further questions by the account. We went on the introduce the knife as a mid-lock instead.

One other caution I would say is the lock-up with liners and lockbacks is aided by the sharp corners of the two meeting materials. Each time you cause a lock failure you have broken down those corners so it will fail easier the next time. We put more testing in how much weight can the lock bear the wrong way. We use our #110 as a bit of a standard.

With that said I would also tell you to disengage whatever locking mechanism you are using fully before moving your blade closed. I watch people half unlock their knife and kind of force it the rest of the way and all they are doing is reducing their engagement for next time.
