    I'd still use TB or CLAYS if I could find it 

    I was going to tell you that I believe Universal, which used to be called “Universal Clays” might work for you but it’s not available anywhere in the U.S. now. :(

    Hodgdon hasn’t made any in a while now. Or I should say “any for sale to the public”.

    We used to play broom hockey using a rubber ball on pavement or a piece of sawed off tree limb in packed snow or an icy parking lot. 
     

    To any kids reading this: Ask your Mom before taking her broom. ;)
     

    Edit: the piece of tree limb was cut like a puck.

    The stuff never really excited me but my calculations this stuff goes for more money per pound/hour than a high end call-girl. Seems they should rename it….

    I’d rather trade it for primers or bullets…

    I still have a nearly full bottle. 
     

    Hmmm…a new name? What would you call something that’s dirty but smells like soap?

    :lol: “High End Hooker” does go with that, I guess.:lol:

    knife laws

    As in all things regarding the law, often police officers are the last to hear of changes in laws. 
    In 2022 I gave my nephew an “assisted opening” Kershaw knife. I found out that knife was illegal in PA and let him know. 
    A few months later that law in PA was rescinded. 
    He darn near hot arrested when a cop saw him flick it open at a gas station to cut some twine on a load of brush he was hauling somewhere. 
    After a 15 minute delay he was allowed to proceed after the officer got clarification on the law. 
     

    I just put that out there to show that often knife laws, and gun laws, aren’t always common knowledge amongst law enforcement. 
    I carry knives I can flip open but do not have springs. I never carry a knife that appears double edged. 
    The last thing I want to deal with is a police officer that isn’t fully versed in the law bugging me about a perceived infraction.

    In the old days, says 1900s or thereabouts, one could carry a concealed pistol in San Fran but not a stiletto.

    That is a perfect metaphor for California laws in general. 
     

    As @Injun Ryder, SASS #36201Lsaid, you can own a gravity knife, you just can’t carry one. 
    They are bunches of Jeckyl & Hyde laws there. 
     

    List of things one can own but not carry - going by memory here….

    - Japanese throwing stars or pretty much everything seen in the Karate movies of the early ‘70’s. Another example of movies and blood diseases that turn blood the color of pee dictating laws. 

    - Tomahawks

    - Throwing knives

    - Guns…duh!


    There are more but I can’t make my thinker “brain” this morning 

    knife laws

    When I went to Boston I looked up their knife laws. One cannot legally carry a knife with a blade longer than 2” and it cannot be a spring assisted knife. This is a city law. Not sure about the state laws. So, I bought a cheap 1.9” lock blade knife for my 2 visits to Boston. I always have to have a knife. 
     

    What the young lady didn’t say regarding CA knife laws is nearly every city has some time of restriction. 
    State laws ban: (cities can expand on state laws)

    Balisongs with blades over 2”

    Assisted opening knives

    Concealed knives with blades >3” - a pocket clip knife clipped in a pocket is not concealed.

    Cane knives and swords

    Double edged blades like daggers or dirks

     

    West Virginia allows the carry of all knives except Bowie Knives.
    This one baffles me. I asked a Sheriff’s Deputy what the WV definition of a Bowie Knife was and what length blade does a knife have to have to be considered a Bowie. He said “No one knows for sure. The law says Bowie knives and that’s it.”
