In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a budgie needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?

Depends if it's fully laden or not

How do know so much about swallows?
Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

I'm fairly certain Ben's budgies will be as lazy as he is, so flight time will be quite lengthy I believe

Swallows are bigger than Budgies - well African Swallows anyway.

Benner has Pit Budgies...they can take down a Swallow...

OMG it is pretty impressive how any thread can be about bloody budgies!

Mike, the box that it may be in is behind a mound of even larger boxes in my loft. Hopefully I can look this weekend.

So is this a fixed blade, folder or multitool?

I'd call it an accident waiting to happen

Seriously though, I never really did form an opinion on it one way of the other

. Although the saw/blade combo makes more sence than the blade/blade ones I've seen

I guess the hole in the blade is part of some locking mechanism is it?

The blade/saw is the original design, but I guess SOG didn't think it was tactical enough heh.

They are moving the revolver to fusion line, which isn't a bad thing in itself, except the blade is downgraded to 440A, and here I was hoping to see a VG10 version one day. Oh well, aus8 is still better than 440a I suppose.

Yes a floating pin in handle (actuated by a lever on other side of handle) goes through it and two steel liners, so unless you break the 1/4" pin or steel liner the blade isn't going to rotate by itself.

I'd classify it as a fixed as you can never fold it leaving it bladeless.

DaveK · **Reply #291 on:** March 20, 2009, 10:46:31 PM

I'd say it's a multi tool. Knife, saw and hammer

Strangely I'd go the other way and call it a folder. My reasoning is; it has two of the mechanical components I'd associate with a folding knife i.e a pivot and a lock. Still, it looks like a neat idea but I'm not after one myself.

My line of thinking was that the blade spins and doesn't fold.

It's a spinner then.
