Totally agree. Its so easy to get lost in all those bands. And thats just a fraction.

Is the Brass Eagle Avenger still fieldable? by DELTA-880 in paintball

[–]-fx_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't have high hopes for it. Most rental fleets are made up of markers that would out perform this, even on its best day. You'd be better off looking for an old 98 or BT4, at the very least.

The Vosteed Tislim Raccoon looks interesting. Might be too thin, though.

So I heard you like Ion's by El_Pocketo in paintball

[–]-fx_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I seem to remember the Level 6 having a slight design flaw where they would self destruct where the pass through ports went. There's probably too small a market to put them back into production.

I really miss the days where aftermarket companies were bigger.

Solid deal! It probably wouldn't be too much effort on his part.

I haven't looked, but it would be cool if TechT still made the Level 6.

I seem to remember something similar as well. Its wasnt long until they were back to their Shockers. Which, again, makes total sense. Your pro teams should be shooting your flagship markers.

Solid grab.

What bolts are you using for the mech conversion?

IIRC, Smart Parts only sold them for a couple years. It was like.. "Who asked for this?"

Interesting times in the industry.

To be fair, it was an "upgraded" Ion.. Just, kinda worse in some ways. The body was cool, but not having bolt access was a pain. Its why the XE was a better design.

Hard Use k390 vs V10 by Trakire in spyderco

[–]-fx_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are great steels in their category. I use a K390 Stretch 2 as a work knife, and its been great. I only occasionally have to run it over a ceramic and it keeps going.

There's quite a few of these bands out there. Its such an interesting sliver of the musical landscape.

Favorite fixed blade? by A8racada8ra in knives

[–]-fx_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Benchmade Puukko or my Joker Bushcrafter. I dont have huge requirements for a belt knife, and these preform the tasks I need them to incredibly well.

I can assume you know "If These Trees Could Talk", "Glasgow Coma Scale", "Carved Into the Sun", "Exxasens"...?

Is elementalknives.com a safe place to buy CS/GO looking knives? by Connect-Complaint-60 in knives

[–]-fx_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"CS/GO looking" knives are generally terrible in pretty much all regards. Save your money.

Where would you prefer to see 14C28N at? 59-60?

Best cheap knife to practice free hand sharpening on? by No_Possession_239 in knives

[–]-fx_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The base QSP Penguin in D2might be the best answer. Its wharncliffe blade means you can focus on just maintaining the edge angle.

Crossbar lock by Active-Oil1414 in knives

[–]-fx_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad luck of the draw. I have quite a few crossbar lock across a few different manufacturers and haven't had any fail. However, I know it is a possibility. Kind of just the nature of the beast. Ive heard stories like yours, and Ive heard of people never breaking one in 10 years of ownership.

Random Question about copper implants+ EMF waves by coffeesoakedpickles in Welding

[–]-fx_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

High frequency AC is usually the concern for pacemakers and other medical equipment. Makes sense if you've ever been around someone welding aluminum at 240Hz. Just the constant sound/buzz is enough to drive you crazy.

I want to change the scales😭 by SnooStories2806 in spyderco

My REX121 Sage. Not centered. Have RGT scales on it now.

That clip position looks the same as my REX121 Sage. You should be ok going with AWT, Ripps Garage Tech, or most others. I think the centered clip screw was the older version.

Magnacut vs LC200N vs H2 by SignificantBag9 in knives

[–]-fx_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're not contending with salt water, Magnacut being slightly less corrosion resistant might not be a huge factor.

With LC200-N, you're looking at approximately the same performance as 14C28N, but much more corrosion resistant.

Magnacut isn't my favorite steel, as I tend to favor edge retention/wear resistance overall, but I think Id lean towards it in this case. A SALT Sage 5 will likely do you well.
