The Lansky World Legal is one of the more interesting knives in my newly started "slipjoint" collection.

Prepper Stockpiles: Stockpiling for Free, Best Items to Stock, & More

With well over 300 posts so far, it can be difficult for even Thomas and I to remember what information we've already covered and what still needs to be said, especially since at times we'll have discussed topics on our survival forum or even through one-on-one emails with people that we may not yet have touched on here ...
