Random Thought Thread

To our not so regular, regulars ;)

I'm certain that Nathan either reads or at the very least skims through EVERY SINGLE POST on his subforum and also fairly certain that Jo reviews all post too, so I think that using the @ feature as their beck and call is often used as an overkill. To me, it's like dialing 911 :p
 
Back in ought 6, actually 1964, I was stationed at a radar site in northern Calif. One day the NCOIC came in with some large boxes. They contained emergency rations and stuff. The boxes were sealed with tape and we all had initial the tape to show that we understood that we were not to touch the stuff. The boxes were then place on top of the 20KW transmitters.

Of course, being good airmen, we didn't open the boxes until the NCOIC went home. There were lots of cans of various foods, many were already bulging. The Korean war chocolate was Ok, but covered with white powder. There were also hard biscuits that were similar to hard tack. Most of it was unusable. A few of the guys took the old cigarettes.

I'm telling you this only because the statute of limitations is long past. :D
 
I was going to put this in the ANAQ thread, but spared that thread from becoming a runaway train wreck in case it hurts / disputes / impugns opinions and facts. I know that Nathan was way into knives before he even became a professional knife-maker and quite a while in the past, he had stated something about sharpening his Grandfather(?) heirloom kitchen / butcher knives. While I do expect a dichotomy in expressed opinion, nevertheless I would also appreciate Nathan's opinion about such train of thoughts if/when time permits:

P.S. I doubt that the OP on that thread has ever met CPKs based on some of his opinion about knives made out of super steels which he colloquially refers to as "expensive steels" but I will just leave it at that for now!

Lol.

I already see numerous points of contention with the post in that link, but I'm definitely in for Nathan's detailed response.

Yes, I already see many wisecrack style responses, specifically from the "usual suspect" types. OK, fair enough! However, my intention of posting that opinion is not meant to whip up controversy on here because I respect Nathan's opinion on the matter with as being fair and also cogent. I am primarily interested because of a conflict that exists inside my own system!!!

I do share some of that OP's opinions although I do not think that he's up-to-date with all super steels or all modern knife-makers who use machining techniques as opposed to the old fashioned blacksmithing and forging. I became fascinated with super steels only about 3 years ago and ever since my introduction to CPK, I have just gone nuts collecting them. I make no apologies as I just LOVE them and as far as I'm concerned, I could "spend" my disposable and none-discretionary fund$ on other things of much lesser valuer (note I said value and not price!). I already know that I have enough D3V steel at my disposal for them to last a couple of generation beyond my own :eek: which does not daunt me from buying more CPKs. I think once my various preorders are fulfilled by the end of this year, I ought to be up to 3- x CPKs. Not bragging, just saying...

Fudge, I lost train of thoughts... Will wait for Nathan to put me right :P

If there’s a way to work out a schedule that O’Dog enjoys one of mine say on Mondays and Wednesday, then returns for my own CPK play time for Teisdays, Thursdays, Friday’s and the weekends, I may be amenable to that :P

I don't know of a post which O'Doggy has not liked but I will take it with honor.

Thank you Sir and I feel that I now need to give you something :)

Glad I could help. I’m only so generous with my “likes” in the CPK forum.
I read a lot outside this sub forum but seldom respond to threads. Let alone “like” posts (unless made by a regular CPK’er). There are a few others.
Then there are some members posts that I would like to “like” because I find them amusing, but I don’t want to encourage these members (not that they need it).
