I don't understand how anyone passes on problems they know about without disclosure. I'd feel so slimy and constantly worry about them being disappointed or worse, getting hurt. My online reputation is important to me too, maybe that's stupid idk. Try to treat it as you would your personal...
When I know Ill be grinding in the fab shop I'll wear my Bradford Guardian 3 in an Armatus horizontal sheath at 2 o'clock, handle pointed past my right hip. Easy access at work but I wouldn't wear it out and about I have folders for that.
I would surmise that economics had something to do with it, and folks used to be a lot more thrifty back then. Keep in mind that people out in the sticks would have had to go to a town to MAYBE find brass cased ammunition, or they could just buy a bunch of lead.
I love old stuff like this! Just sitting there looking at it in my hands, thinking about who held it before me and what kind of person they were is endlessly fascinating to me. Thank you for sharing.
Damn I'm sorry to hear that, it sounds awful. I went to the Eye Institute in Cincinnati. Out of curiosity how old were you and how was your vision beforehand? I required glasses but I could still generally see things in the same room as me, but seeing road signs was an issue without corrective...

Tangentially related, I'm planning a trip to Okinawa in November and am kinda illiterate when it comes to international finance... But what power is my dollar going to have when converted to yen?
I had to step away from my fathers birthday dinner because I got a very, very convincing email from my bank saying my stuff had been compromised. The scammers are getting crafty. At this point I barely trust phone numbers on websites it's way out of hand.
If applicable and can swing it financially I can't recommend LASIK enough. It's cliche to say, but it's been a literal life changer. One day i was blurry, took a valium, went into the room and came out. Got home and fell asleep until the next day and holy cow, I could count leaves on the trees...
I'm still working off the "revolving fun fund" that i had worked up some years ago. I buy and sell, trade and add in some cash to recoup once in a while. My spending habits have been under a significant crunch here lately, but that's okay. I have my wife, family, pets, and friends. Everything a...
