Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sywagon: I posted the back story a ways back with respect to having my super nice vintage guitars stolen 35 years back and nothing else since meeting up to those expectations. This one fits the bill. Guitars have always been much more meaningful to me than knives or most other inanimate things. To put it on the scale of knives, the Shiro is the one that is significantly outclassed here. Anyways, I'll stop babbling about all this now since only OP seems remotely interested in guitars, but I may abuse you all with some more pics. https://i.imgur.com/9m7qJjr.jpg I'm interested in your rambling, as even though I don't know diddly squat about guitars I do enjoy hearing people talk about things they're passionate about. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rbb2: I'm interested in your rambling, as even though I don't know diddly squat about guitars I do enjoy hearing people talk about things they're passionate about. Thanks - I remember months ago talking with you by IM about why I was holding off on knives I was interested in. This has been brewing since well before that. I'll post a pic of the whole thing when there's some good light tomorrow. Originally Posted By WIC: huh, I don't recall that story. That is pretty cool if you can find something up to snuff now. There's actually a lot more to it as far as where I was at in life when that happened being a poor undergrad putting myself through school and having my only real prized possessions taken. So the timing of finally snagging this in the same week I found out about the PSLF stuff makes it a sort of memorial of things coming full circle. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIC: https://i.imgur.com/BtGXgEb.jpg  https://ukma.org.uk/why-metric/myths/metric-internationally/the-moon-landings/ Contrary to urban myth, NASA did use the metric system for the Apollo Moon landings. SI units were used for arguably the most critical part of the missions – the calculations that were carried out by the Lunar Module’s onboard Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) during the computer-controlled phases of the spacecraft’s descent to the surface of the Moon, and for the journey of the Ascent stage of the craft during its return to lunar orbit, where it would rendezvous with the Command and Service Module (CSM). … The Apollo Guidance Computer is a good example of this. The computer display readouts were in units of feet, feet per second, and nautical miles – units that the Apollo astronauts, who had mostly trained as jet pilots, would have been accustomed to using. Internally, however, the computer’s software used SI units for all powered-flight navigation and guidance calculations, and values such as altitude and altitude rate were only converted to imperial units when they needed to be shown on the computer’s display.

I don't know if it's smoother but it's definitely changed, it slowed the action a bit. balls have a smaller contact area than rollers, rollers have better torsion and thrust load bearing. balls should be smoother, as they are not driven in an inner and outer circumference. for an application that got high load values, rollers are the thing. for a pocket knife, balls (maybe even ceramic) are a better choice. |

Yeah that all makes sense and comports with what I have read other places. I had initially ordered the rollers to replace the balls in my older F95 that is on single row ball bearings and is *too* fast (for my preference), but I figured since I have the Aquatic I'd try them in there. Might go back to MRBS and try out the rollers in the F95 like I had initially planned. I have swapped the ball bearings in two knives now out for skiff's thick washers and am planning to try that on a couple others as well. As long as they still open reliably, the "drop shut" action isn't really that important to me. |
