And don't forget the "spyder Hole". Everyone had something to about that.

The One Second After book review thread didn't get TOO heated, but the temp did rise.

was that a penis joke, or is this an actual person and discussion I missed?

Aww, man. I forgot all about Mr. My-website-reads-like-the-back-of-a-G.I.-Joe-package! Crap, can I change my answer?

Mike HUNT is the joke you're looking for. Nuff said.

No, he's right ... Myke Hawke

LOL. I said "Mike Hawk" and then Munky88 said (I presume as a joke):

was that a penis joke, or is this an actual person and discussion I missed?

To which I responded "Mike HUNT" is the joke. Which is actually yet ANOTHER joke.... Feints within Feints. Tis a difficult thread to unravel, but the nuance is part of the fun. Perhaps I just ruined the fun...

Umm axe vs big knife vs hatchet vs folding saw.
But then that topic seems eternal anyway ,lol.
Or folder vs fixed blade.
And of course SAK vs multi-tool.

I shouldn't even bring this one up, but the Dogs with out leashes thread was ridiculous...

Yeah that was a doozy!
Strangely there was a more rational discussion of the same topic in the tactical forum this year.

I find that usually WSS is the more friendly/rational forum but for a while there we were in Bizarro reversal land!

I suppose the Busse thread and the Ultralight thread on this page will probably qualify.... I find these contentious threads that have no real learning/knife appreciation outcome, increasingly tiresome.

I think you can learn a lot from threads like them. Someone might post a link to some other book or idea or tool or piece of gear to illustrate a point and THAT is why a lot of those threads turn out to be really interesting discussions. All of the rest is static and sometimes what I post is in the static category as well. I'm not perfect, I am a human being but out of chaos...sometimes beauty erupts.
