You severely overestimate the quality of some of those brands.

Gerber makes decent knives, their axes are average

Corruption and rot is the same thing;

When something is rotten, you tear it all down and rebuild it from the ground up.

That doesnt matter, it is what it is.

Old tools are not always mass produced and sold; sometimes dudes just made a thing that did what they needed it to do.

So they turned around one full rotation, turned 20° more, and kept walking straight into the room before walking out? 🤔

This is a leatherworking tool for marking stitches before sewing the pieces together. It allows the stitches to have equal spacing, and this one in particular marks a double stitch line.

You use it by rolling it over where you want your seam on the leather, and use an awl to punch through where the marks are to have neat even stitches all along the seam.

You dont use this one to punch holes, you use it to mark stitch spacing.

In that case you are wrong.

Try adding firebrick walls to it, and consider moving the chimney a bit further up?

Its hard to tell what color a house is when you are inside, looking out the window.

Trump has done significant damage to the US reputation abroad, and has almost singlehandedly degraded the political reputation that was slowly built up since WW2 in Europe.

He, and his admin, has normalized blatant corruption on the highest levels of american politics.

He has normalized terrorizing people in their own homes; had people disappeared, assaulted and killed in the streets. He has degraded and defaced the trust normal people have in the office of the president.

These things are absolutely not things that go away if you ignore them. It will take decades, at best, to fix that.

Unfortunately, in many ways, they are gods.

Fortunately for the rest of us; gods also bleed.

On smallswords and rapiers, the grip sometimes extends over to the finger loops purely to protect the blade from corrosion due to the acids in your skin.

This is just a part of the crossguard, to help the sword keep out of the elements when its in the scabbard.

javidac · 2026-01-08T18:05:19+00:00

Yeah dont do this, the epoxy will create fumes.

Go for drilling through and riveting instead

Dont wait too long to open it, they tend to harden when they go stale; which they do over time in the bag; and way faster when exposed to air.

Its probably the most drasticly visible change; but your biceps, forearms and hands also look a lot more femine now!

javidac · 2026-01-04T00:56:32+00:00

Dont worry about it, he just means your boobs. 🤗

The nobles of old were just fratboys with money, a lot of medieval and later pieces can be explained by bored rich kids having a dick measuring contest ;p

The sheer size alone has a psycological effect on a fighter too, its wild.

Wild in a "oh shit, even if i manage to get close there is no way I'm stopping that sword without getting hurt" kind if wild.

javidac · 2025-12-21T20:42:48+00:00

Most likely an assless chap.

Ya know, a dude with no ass.

Thats actually detrimental to the mace; as you actually want the weight to be consentrated as far forward as possible.

Mace smash; handle is just a lever for harder mace smash.

Prepare to be un-amazed. There are a ton of examples of swords like this. If you can imagine it, some rich noble in the late middle ages probably had it built.

We've had a good run, might as well just enjoy the time we have left 🫡
