<2022-07-27T02:41:29.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: Aetius and I were in a GC together, and I think he had the Serpent.  It's a really nice knife, if you like a tanto point
<2022-07-27T02:42:11.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: Clay Martin, the resident Green beanie, had Toor and Halfbreed, and preferred the Halfbreed Compact Clearance 1

<2022-07-27T18:34:56.000Z> ConfederateHobo: After looking through some. Definately have my eye on the Toor Anaconda.  The halfbreed Compact Clearance is also very appealing. 
<2022-07-27T19:45:58.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: They make the CC in a couple of other blade profiles, too
<2022-07-27T19:46:29.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: The Tuhon Raptor is interesting, but my concern with it was that the blade shape loses thrusting power.
<2022-07-27T19:46:46.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: The tanto point is fuckin beefy

<2022-07-27T19:48:35.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: They're also doing a tracker version of the Medium Infantry, but I don't think I like it almost twice as much as the Tops version.

<2022-07-27T20:07:28.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: I feel like all the photos give the wrong idea about this blade profile
<2022-07-27T20:08:05.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: The little finger nub is to tell you where the sharp edge is.  It should really be photographed with that edge down.
<2022-07-27T20:11:17.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: So it's really like a recurve plus a hawkbill, not a clip or upswept with an odd belly like it seems
<2022-07-27T21:57:16.000Z> ConfederateHobo: Hah. Didn't even notice that wasn't a clip point.    The medium clearance  
<2022-07-27T21:57:35.000Z> ConfederateHobo: Looks decent

<2022-07-27T21:57:55.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: Medium is kind of a modified tattoo
<2022-07-27T21:58:02.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: tanto
<2022-10-01T04:37:21.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: I can't speak to their quality, but they at least appear more knowledgeable than the average repro shop: regenyei.com/product/sidesword-italian/#review
<2022-10-01T04:42:04.000Z> ConfederateHobo: Funny enough, I was looking through an Italian company called Del Tin, who has a pretty good looking like of sideswords

<2022-10-13T05:16:01.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: I've actually got a killer concept for a modern bivvy sack with integral self-inflating ground pad that I'd try to push if we had any nylon stitching going on at all.
<2022-10-13T05:29:00.000Z> ConfederateHobo: A bivvy would be a good entry product, considering the type of people you'd be trying to market to.   They're very useful. 
<2022-10-13T13:07:42.000Z> GLObalMARinePR: I love them, but the milspec ones are hard to come by and the commercial ones tend to be fragile gossamer backpacker weight stuff.  I want durable, and able to serve as a primary sleep system with the addition of a poncho liner, then a heavier bag to make it four seasons
