    Might be the city? I remember having a stop over there on a bus trip in 1986. They were well into a garbage strike, that plaza where Rocky ran up the stairs was being used as a temporary above ground dump, had to be at least twenty feet deep around the edges. The garbage juice literally flowed down the gutter like a stream........ so much for sightseeing. Then while using the urinal before getting back on the bus a guy tried to sell me this big ten pound block of surplus cheese, he needed 50 cents for bread, the kids are hungry he said, sign next to the bus stop advertised 40's for 50 cents. The whole place had that out of control feel even back then. From then on I followed my gut and just went around when travel tried to put me there.

    I have been trying for days to 3d print a approximately 9 -12 inch tall Lego figure. I have been hoping to make a "outdoor" / "bushcraft" style figure with Axe + shovel and more but it has been 1 problem then another...

    I was able to download a couple of different pre done figures but everything about the files are wrong..

    Orientation / printed layer direction is / are all the wrong directions. Sizes/ over hang each other..

    She’s having a coronary event and yelling Snek! Snek! I tell her be calm and just watch, grab my gloves…
    So docile and gentle. Doesn’t even try to bite. Hella musk but not a bit of aggression in the world.
    Ain’t nature cool?! :D

    You might be right my twangy accent amigo…but our favorite khakis wearing lunatic handled salties, the scariest of serpents, spiders than can bite through shoes….and gets downed by a swim/flying shoe sole…refusing to live in fear of the beauty that surrounds us might be as they say “a hellva way to go”. But in Valhalla oh the conversations we will drink to. ;)

    Kind of random but @Andy the Aussie would you happen to know anyone in the states that is selling a Busse NMSFNO? I sold mine years ago and have been looking to replace it but can’t seem to find one.

    …….. no mate I’m sorry I don’t, the NMSFNO seems to have really dried up in the last few years. They use to pop up weekly or so on the BF exchange but now it is far less often now. It’s one I would not part with.

    Yeah I feel like I used to see them pretty frequently a few years ago. I sold mine because life happened and I’ve regretted it ever since lol. I appreciate the reply.

    This was the last one I bought….probably @9 years ago. I had a few other knives at Mashed Cat for sheaths so had this one sent up and got him to do one for it as well and send the whole lot over (this plus a couple of ASH1s).

    This was sold as “used” but the only thing I could see was the rub there in the finish. They do tick a lot of boxes !

    This looks exactly like the one I sold. Was it to you? I remember selling you a few things, ASH1 and a ratmandu, possibly others I think. It’s been too long. This is one of the pics I posted way back when. It looks almost the same. IMG_1025.jpeg

    No you have me racking my brain !!! I thought I had the sheath made for this but I’m actually thinking it was for a BWM…..it could well be.

    …….. I am almost certain now :D. I use to keep a folder with a pic of every knife I bought (the pic copied from the sale thread) and as soon as I find it I bet that one of those you showed on the USPS box is in it.

    Anyone know where to buy a Decent non black (The brighter the better!) belt pouch for a folding knife and or Multitool?

    Specifically i would like a Nylon pouch with Velcro closure. Think Gerber Brand multitool pouch.

    Hopefully under $25

    Importantly NOT black NOT camo instead a easy to see and find color..

    Example below:
