The same with paid users as well. For a whole week, I was bombarded with advertisement and their telling me that I could pay to make it all go away...but I am a paid customer. They eventually fixed it.  :facepalm:

Basically they got a bit finicky with the bandwidth. If you don't post a huge amount of pics it shouldn't be a problem. But for those that like to post quite a few pics and do it often, it is an issue especially on a forum this busy

Even Cold STeel's cheapest blades (Kudu and Eland) are awesome knives for the price, and deserve much love   :like:

I think not, but can't confirm that with confidence.
It's a fine slicer, better than the Swift below, at 1/15th of the price    :ahhh

In my usual line of film-spotting CS blades I realised that apart from the Safe Maker and Counter Tac with major roles in the movie, there is a scene where other CS blades appear

when John Wick prepares for his mission in Rome, he goes through different weapons and blades, and these can be seen on the inventory, from L to R and Top to Bottom:
- Most likely Emerson CQC-7
- Cold Steel Black Talon II
- Unknown
- Unknown
- DPX Hest
- Balisong
- Cold Steel Safe Maker I
- Cold Steel Bowie Spike
- Microtech 138 1T Trodoon
- Benchmade SOCP Dagger
- Microtech 150-10 Halo V
- Cold Steel Counter Tac II
- Microtech Ultratech something
- Emerson Karambit
- Cold Steel Double Agent
- Cold Steel Tiger Claw



that's a very nice collection IMO

My most recent is my first Cold Steel. A Kobun someone tried to bring on an airplane- TSA hostage release program brought it to me so I'm not going to admit how little I spent. The edge was a little ragged, but after a few strokes on the stones and some polishing, it looks pretty much factory new now even it won't quite shave hair yet. I'll probably jimp it lightly, though, and put an IWB loop on the sheath rather than that horrible clip- I prefer to carry fixed blades between me and the belt.

Just one thing I don't understand is why would anyone think they can carry a 5 inch (well a bit over) fixed blade on an airplane? I've spent last night cussing over the sheer idiocy of those who justified some bs "review" and this morning I'll apparently be dumbfounded by this  :twak: :twak: :twak: :twak: :twak:

Still great pick up   :tu: :tu:
