Evolution of a Perfect Carry Knife.

Short of a switchblade, this is about as fast as a one handed opener available with the speed assisted opening.

While the handle is more ergonomic than knives of the past, it still could be improved.

The knife strictly on appearance would probably fall into the tactical category but with its relatively light duty construction, it does not transfer any confidence as a fighter. Truly it does serve as a convenient pocket knife that can be rapidly deployed one handed much like a box cutter.

It’s not an everyday carry. Why? It’s politically incorrect having a serrated edge, being all scary black, and having a fast opening action.  However I will carry it on evening walks.

Hennessey Viper

January 31, 2010

Dodge got the Viper right out of the gate. When a few years later they decided to change’s it cowl in the name of saving money, they emasculated the Dodge and downgraded it to the level of a Corvette, no disrespect to the Vette.

Hennessey Motor sports pumps up the baseline Viper into a 1000 plus bhp monster Bugatti Veyron beater. Read how it spanked the Veyron.  It’s the stuff of dreams for Joe Average.

Kendra Wilkinson – The Girl Next Door Shoots

January 24, 2010

I’ve seen bits and pieces of The Girls Next Door clicking away on the remote but it never really did anything for me. Kendra in particular seemed like a spoiled rich girl or at least she was portrayed that way.

Obviously she has the body being a Playboy model but personally, her appearance doesn’t do anything for me especially capped with that attitude. Well that all changed when I learned she was interested in guns and self defense!

You can see more photos at her blog and read her comments about guns.

They bought the tooling and rights to  make the Winchester Model 21 and they make them better than the original.

They also make a number of other high end shotguns.

Purdey Double Rifles

If Holland and Holland is the number one name I associate with double rifles, then Purdey is number two.  From an aesthetics  profile, I prefer the more classic lines of the Purdey over the Holland.

Purdey coined the term Nitro. If a genie granted me the wish of a double rifle, it would be difficult but I would probably ask for a Purdey in .470 NE over a Holland. From what I can gather, Holland does not make doubles in .470 caliber.

Holland & Holland Double Rifle

January 10, 2010

Holland & Holland is the name I associate with double rifles. To me, it is the most glamorous and most desirable name double rifle.  What I didn’t realize is that Holland and Holland doesn’t offer the rifle in the caliber I would want.

I’ll never be able to afford one short of winning the Powerball.  Looking however is always free.
