If you kill an animal with a poison dart from a frog, does that mean the meat is poisonous and you can’t eat it?

Not according to the tribes in the Amazon that do it.

what if the animal you killed with a poison frog dart was also a poison frog? Would the poison be twice as strong? Would the poisons cancel each other out? Am I thinking about this too much? Or not enough...?

 

[trevitrace]

If poison has an expiration date is it then more poisonous or no longer poisonous?

 

[Casinostocks]

^ Yes.

it's a negative when you test positive

Was any more detail about the issue with the K20 popsicle sticks ever shared in any of the threads? I remember seeing that the yield for the first batch of wood wasn't as high as it was hoped and that the second batch is still drying, and that this is going to hold up orders involving popsicle sticks, so there was some thought about having to decide if you want your swords with Terotuf mounted now and popsicle sticks sent later, or if you want your swords held for popsicle stick handles when they're ready. Did I mishear/misunderstand?

Thanks!

hello!

Are you having a new pre order for end of year? Can it be for the EDC?

TIA

When is the Skinner going back into production? I can’t take seeing these on here anymore. They all need to be thrown in the creek, or please make some more Nate.

I still can't believe that the skinner didn't get the votes to be one of the older models to be brought back!

I’d most certainly be in for an edc

I considered it, but we have too many open orders now as it is. Maybe next year.

next year is like two weeks from now

Can you advise which orders are still open, Nathan? I'd love to get in on one or two if possible

But believe K20s are still being shipped and shiv 2.0 are on deck now

To clarify though, those orders aren't open. You can't purchase anything as they're all spoken for.

He didn't want to just say "Two weeks."

That was my observation too. So I was just being facetious when asking...

Unless.... There ARE extra K20's or Shiv's. In which case, please advise.

Is the S-grind also on the DEK1? Mine seems like a flat grind, at least from holding a straight edge to it, but I'm not too sure what I'm supposed to be looking for.

Edit: I saw a post from Nathan from years back talking about how subtle the s-grind actually is. I guess I'll have to check mine with a straightedge and backlight.

Edit edit: I stand corrected. It's hard to see without a backlight and a dark room, but it's definitely got the s-grind. It's also more pronounced near the ricasso than towards the tip. Very interesting.
