I really like that one CNC.
I sold my tanto 7 years ago, and but need to pick up a spear point one day.
One of the best feeling handles ever IMO.

edit- well, I guess I don't need to pick up another. I has beginning to get over some of Ernies past post, but I see he hasn't changed one bit. Would not own one if given to me.

Gotta say, I really like the non-waved blade.

Dopamine is more related to the area of pleasure ;-) looking good!

Yeah but serotonin does affect behavior, depression, and mood. Emerging evidence is coming out in the science community that its tied in with dopamine for controlling happiness.

I wish Emerson offered more non waved options.

Yes all neurotransmitters do; there is no "one and only" since nature loves redundancy.

In Affective Neuroscience: The Foundations of Human and Animal Emotions (1998), Jaak Panksepp explains that the overall functions of the basal ganglia [corpus striata] "are under the control of one major 'power switch'—ascending brain dopamine…." Panksepp points out that dopamine circuits "appear to be major contributors to our feelings of engagement and excitement as we seek the material resources needed for bodily survival, and also when we pursue the cognitive interests that bring positive existential meanings into our lives." He explains that without dopamine, "human aspirations remain frozen…." He goes on to say that when dopamine is abundant in synapses, "a person feels as if he or she can do anything." Panksepp asks: "Is it any wonder that humans and animals eagerly work to artificially activate this system whether via electrical or chemical means? Cocaine and amphetamines are psychologically addicting because they facilitate activity in brain DA [dopamine] systems."
