Something I read a few minutes ago which is still making me LMAO so I had to share as I just can't stop laughing as I write this, so excuse me while I'm wiping off the tears from my eyes!
Anywho... was watching the Jo Rogan interview with George St. Pierre (MMA guys and totally unrelated to knives) where George is talking about the benefits of intermittent fasting and how it's changed his life, blah, blah... I often enjoy reading the viewers comment section more so than an article or a video because at times one just comes across a gem of a wisecrack:
Someone quips, "I've been fasting intermittently for years. It's called being broke tho..."
I still can't stop laughing, LMFAO...

Funny. I’ve been fasting 12-16 hours a day since 2008 and it works for me.

Why can’t I find the obligatory Blde 2018 thread with all the stuff CPK is bringing laid out on a table for us to drool over?

But I'm more interested in everyone's thoughts and suggestions for what Nathan and company are going to do for the three days.
Let's face it, they'll have a lot of free time to kill after they sell everything in the first hour of the show.

When I lived in the PRK I used to go to the Solvang knife show. If you didn't get there when the doors opened, most of the better knife maker's tables were empty. It got to the point where I didn't expect to see much except pictures. I only went so that my wife could wander through the shops and we would have lunch.

Happy (somber?) Memorial Day to all you military veterans among us who both served and sacrificed for the Country and the Nation.

Dunno if there many (any?) fans of HBO's WestWorld on here but that Japanese Katana sword fight scene in last night's epi (S2, epi 6: Phase Space) was so friggin awesome! I tried to search for it on YT, but none had been posted thus far that I could find, plus it's a bit gory for some tastes so not sure if posting the content would even be appropriate on here!

Whoever snags that UF-3V, will get an ever so elusive CPK-UF at a very reasonable table price. Although Nathan unintentionally teases with UF / production dagger, I don't see it happen for quite a while.
I'd love to be proven wrong because I can def add a UF-D3V to the herd without hesitation but the cha-ching factor with a future monster pattern like the FK-2 will be hard to resist, not to mention the 100+ MCs which will also fill out a nice & fat preorder list.

Yes, the guy named Musashi finally busting out the two sword technique! I only care about the Ed Harris story anymore though...

Fig! I won't be surprised at this stage if his character is also a host!!! I just pray to gawd that the writers don't get so wound up in their own clever BS that the series goes out with a most disappointing whimper like LOST did!
Never mind you great knife peep, this is nerd talk going on in here
