It’s just soup-er
With a few strokes of a long knife blade and the twist of a leathery neck, local outdoorsman Delmar Anthony separated the head of a 40-pound snapping turtle from its body.
Almost every day, it seems, a new knife is introduced to the market. While many knives are produced for a certain use or method, many are simply designed for those who want to add another knife to their collections. Thus many knives are very interesting in their design or makeup, but for all practical purposes they serve no purpose other than to adorn a wall, shelf, case, or desk. Although they seemingly have no use, they do present an opportunity for a knife designer to show off his skills. One such knife is the Golden Eagle Hybrid Hunting Knife.
This hunting knife is an incredibly intriguing looking knife. Its hilt and pommel are richly cast in gold, and the hilt curves into a finger loop for extra gripping. Both the handle and the matching scabbard are painted with a black and gold-striped design that resembles a snakeskin. The pommel is connected to the hard scabbard with a tri-colored gold, red and black entwined chain. There are two tassels bound in gold that dangle from the hilt. A lightning bolt and three diamonds are cut into the blade giving it a look that closely resembles many fantasy knives.
The 8 inch long blade is adorned with a silkscreened image of an eagle, its wings expanded in flight, claws extended in a mode that suggests attack. The double-edged knife has a razor-sharp edge on one side, and dual-serrated edges on the other. The knife handle can be folded and locked into a push-blade position thus making for a more versatile knife than many others.

Many years ago every man would have carried a pocket knife; it was simply the normal thing to do. With knife crime as it is now unfortunately this can no longer be done without it seeming threatening. Knifes now have a reputation of being dangerous and only used as tools of violence, not as the useful tools they actually are. Carrying a pocket knife was no more unusual than carrying a mobile phone today, but times have certainly changed. small knives (if not pockets) date back to at least the early Iron Age, they would have had bone handles and the blades would have been between two and six inches long. Pocket knives are very versatile; they can be used for practically any use. Including...

Read More ...Bang Your Head: The Rise and Fall of Heavy Metal, David Konow, Three Rivers Press, 2002. I always have been fascinated with both music and history and a book about the history of a particular music is just like killing two birds with one stone. I have read a few books about the history of heavy metal and Bang Your Head is the least elevating one. Of course it was a fun read, but all Rock n Roll books are fun to read. The only thing that made me bought this book is the fact that I have yet to find a book about the rise and fall of the 80's Cock Rock scene, and this book, although not as comprehensive and thorough as I hoped it should be, contained some murky information about the craze,...

Then there is the Vintage Persian Rug. Old rugs consist of all those shag carpets, occasionally known as "wall-to-wall" carpets, laid over the sub-floors within the a variety of sub-divisions and housing developments across the US these last fifty and sixty years.
