im going to have to call some tin hat bullcrap on this article! 

regardless of whether or not benchmade resides in Oregon and who they supposedly give contributions, benchmades biggest client is the us military.

besides, how does benchmade assisting a police department in destroying weapons that were apart of crimes have anything to do with support or the lack there of of the second amendment?!


Nate, the weapons destroying aside their campaign contributions were a bit weighted in one direction. Having the dot mil as your biggest client really doesn’t say much to me honestly....

This coming from me who carries two of their knives daily.

Nate, quite a few places here that we frequent (many of the diners drive in and dives btw) automatically add 18% gratuity. They call it a living wage as the employers give these servers real wages and healthcare. To my knowledge it is always explained up front. In my opinion I get a 2% discount as I normally tip good service at 20% anyhow. If I didn’t get good service it would bother me but as of yet knock on wood the service has been top notch at these places.

Redhead concrete anchors, literally have installed thousands of concrete anchors in my life. Bought 4 3/8x3” yesterday. All four would not drive fully into a 3/8” bored concrete hole (would go about an inch shy) cannot get any of 4 to tighten up. Junk, junk, junk.....

Newer bit, did 4 holes last week from another source for anchors. I always use shop vac to suck them out prior to inserting anchor ( think sucking on H’s cankles you’ll get the idea ). I did a quick search and found where redheads weren’t allowed in residential construction somewhere any longer.
