Episode 7 - Get Your Larp On
<p><strong>Old Man Folders & the Mall Ninja Kid | Episode 7 - Get Your Larp On</strong>Three guys walk into a knife shop, a cigar lounge, and an FFL — because they're all in the same building in Alaska. This week, Old Man Folders, Mall Ninja Kid, and producer TBD cover everything from suppressor drama and HK obsessions to $1,200 spinning tops, zombie Cerakote jobs, and why you absolutely cannot ship ammo to Alaska. Expect hot takes, cold steel, and at least one Aston Martin.The most chaotic intro in podcast history. "I'm Old Man Folders." "No, I'm Old Man Folders." It gets sorted out eventually.7:04 – <strong>Top Hates: EDC Fidget Toys & Overpriced Collectors</strong>A $1,200 spinning top with a six-month waitlist. For what? Old Man Folders uses everything he owns into the dirt. Mall Ninja Kid does too — but only to open boxes of knives.10:51 – <strong>Commando Store & Eastern European Gear</strong>A Ukrainian Mil-Surp store called "Get Your Larp On" sells fake Adidas tracksuits, IKEA-branded (well, "Idea"-branded) AK mag carriers, and a $30 Russian knockoff Casio. Mall Ninja Kid wants all of it.17:52 – <strong>NFA Items, Suppressors & Tax Stamp Changes</strong>Tax stamps are gone and wait times are days, not years. Mall Ninja Kid just ordered a low-backpressure 7.62 can after his brass literally exploded. Chuck from Alaska Ballistics is hoarding suppressors and paranoid about flash signatures.22:29 – <strong>HK USP & Compact Tactical Hunt</strong>The HK45 Compact Tactical: discontinued, worth $3,500+, and Mall Ninja Kid traded his away for basically nothing. The guy who took it still comments on his videos to gloat.27:00 – <strong>Griffin Suppressors & the Solid Snake Build</strong>Mall Ninja Kid's .45 suppressor is Hollywood quiet — just a puff and the action cycling. He bought it specifically to live out a Metal Gear fantasy with his HK USP.34:26 – <strong>Japanese Swords: Wakizashi & Katana Appraisals</strong>Old Man Folders has a wakizashi that just got re-dated 100 years older than previously thought — potentially worth $15K at auction. Can a wakizashi behead someone? Technically no. A katana? Absolutely.39:29 – <strong>Knife Community Rants: Grail Knives & Strider vs. Hinderer</strong>Stop buying knives just to photograph them. Mall Ninja Kid has the Hinderer XM-24. Old Man Folders daily-carries an SMF. ProTech's springs are so violent the Runt will spin out of your hand.50:03 – <strong>Aston Martin Tangent</strong>There's a Tiffany blue–on–Tiffany blue–on–Tiffany blue V8 Vantage Aston Martin for sale right now, cheapest in the country at $30K. Old Man Folders is working on getting producer Dakota to buy it. Dakota has a Tiffany blue ProTech knife. The signs are all there.53:02 – <strong>Jeep Mods, Car Talk & LED Lights</strong>Mall Ninja Kid's turbo Wrangler is making absurd torque. Old Man Folders explains downpipes, tunes, and why Jeep is technically Italian now. Also: how to install backup lights when every other bulb is sealed.59:37 – <strong>Wild West Guns & Local Gunsmithing</strong>Joe West Jr. called about Cerakote work. Wild West Guns closed their retail floor but never closed — same story as Alaska Tactical. Their Bush Gun is a takedown 45-70 that fits in a backpack and can reportedly kill a polar bear.1:04:40 – <strong>Unreasonable Warranty Policies</strong>An unnamed "Right F***ing Here" American brand wants $50–$125 just to accept a warranty return — and won't take USPS. From Alaska. For normal wear and tear. Old Man Folders is not impressed.1:08:02 – <strong>Alaska Shipping Hacks & Outro</strong>No one ships to Alaska. The hacks: eBay sellers who don't know the rules, carrying ammo in checked luggage, and palletizing cases on the barge. Old Man Folders moved up here with everything he owned in a 4×4×4 pallet.*Old Man Folders | Mall Ninja Kid | Name TBD | Cheez-It is the F**ing Fuzz<strong>Knives · Guns · Gear · Alaska · Chaos</strong></p>

Episode 6 - Mags, Waki's & Bear Bacon
<p><strong>Old Man Folders & the Mall Ninja KidEpisode 6 — Mags, Waki's & Bear Bacon</strong>The ultimate bipolar opposite of the knife universe. Blades, guns, hunting, bears, and zero filter.</p><p><strong>[0:10] Intro</strong>Episode 5 kicks off.</p><p><strong>[0:32] ETS Group 10mm Glock Stick Mags</strong>Old Man Folders finally gets his 30-round 10mm ETS mags for the Glock 20 — $17, smoke translucent, factory butt cap compatible. Mall Ninja Kid has ETS history and confirms they're truck-tough.</p><p><strong>[14:10] Shield Arms Leak & Glock at SHOT</strong>Rumor: Glock is making their own 15-round mags for the 43X/48. Plus: Glock treats small creators better than almost anyone at SHOT Show.</p><p><strong>[16:38] The Gay Intervention Prank</strong>Mall Ninja Kid is staging a full gay intervention for a conservative Wyoming ex-cop at SHOT 2027 — 15 YouTubers, five Russians, a semi-circle, little papers. Chook provides the psychological cover story.</p><p><strong>[22:13] Wilson Combat & 1911 Mags</strong>The 1911's greatest fault is its mags. Old Man Folders' SIG 1911 jammed on everything until he gave up. Rule: Wilson Combat or Kit McCormick mags only. Worst 1911 trigger still beats the best Glock trigger.[INSERT WILSON COMBAT LINK]</p><p><strong>[26:00] Glock Full-Auto Switch Tangent</strong>The little aluminum piece that makes a Glock full auto. Works on Airsoft Glocks too. $15 on Alibaba. You will get on a list. Informational purposes only. Consult your lawyer.</p><p><strong>[35:10] Favorite Knife Lockups</strong>RAM-LOK vs. compression lock vs. frame lock vs. liner lock vs. button lock — everyone ranks their favorites. Benchmade Axis Lock patent expired and Chinese brands are flooding in.[INSERT MICROTECH LINK] | [INSERT BENCHMADE LINK] | [INSERT SPYDERCO LINK]</p><p><strong>[49:30] OTF Knives & Ballistic Knives</strong>Old Man Folders removes the stop pin from a Microtech Scarab — blade falls out six inches. Anticlimactic. Russian ballistic knife videos stick doors at 20 feet. The spring is an 870 shotgun spring. Once assembled: federal felony.</p><p><strong>[57:38] Wakizashis & Antique Japanese Swords</strong>Two wakizashis in the shop, both dated 1600s or earlier after a 37-month wait. One potentially worth $30K. A WWII bring-back katana that can't be sent to Japan for restoration — it'd be seized. A grandkid who did $50K damage to the most expensive blade the shop has ever seen.</p><p><strong>[1:13:08] Cold Steel, Condor & Sword Fighting</strong>Mall Ninja Kid wants the Cold Steel waki-size Magnum Tanto. Condor's 1095 tactical katana: bend it 45 degrees, it springs back. Japanese swords are designed to be disposable. Gas station swords: do not use for home defense.</p><p><strong>[1:23:10] Tactical Tomahawks</strong>Why soldiers chose tomahawks over swords. Winkler is impossible to find thanks to Jack Carr. RMJ Snuggles war hammer: 4.5 lbs of 80CrV2, looks like the devil's meat tenderizer. Half Face Blades & We Kill Bad Dudes.</p><p><strong>[1:30:00] Slapjacks</strong>We Kill Bad Dudes leather slapjacks: 18 ounces of shut the fuck up. Birdshot, nylon bag, 870 door-spring. One is ostrich skin. Highly recommended for anyone who can legally own one.</p><p><strong>[1:33:00] Birdshot vs. Buckshot</strong>At five feet, birdshot acts like a slug. Duck hunters in Alaska have killed grizzlies with birdshot — but you have to wait until your asshole is fully puckered before pulling the trigger.</p><p><strong>[1:37:00] Bear Hunting, Meat & Parasites</strong>Bear bacon is real and good. Brown bear cheeseburger with bear-grease fries: confirmed delicious if it's a berry bear. Coastal bears: do not eat. Also: trichinosis, three-foot tapeworms, seal balloon disease, and why you take ivermectin for 30 days after every bear hunt.</p><p><strong>[1:48:00] Polar Bears</strong>Fully apex, zero fear response — they just walk toward whatever they smell. TBD's grandmother: North Slope game warden, polar bear licked through her car window, shot it at point blank inside the vehicle, wore hearing aids the rest of her life.</p><p><strong>[1:12:00] Outro</strong>"This has been an Old Man Folders and the Mall Ninja Kid presentation."</p>

Episode 5 - Airboat Hunting On the North Slope
<p><strong>Old Man Folders & the Mall Ninja KidEpisode 5 — Airboat Hunting On the North Slope</strong></p><p>The ultimate bipolar opposite of the knife universe. Blades, guns, hunting, trucks, and zero filter.</p><p><strong>[0:05] Intro</strong>Episode 5 kicks off.</p><p><strong>[0:19] Cigars & Davidoff Deep Dive</strong>Mall Ninja Kid's cigar habit is spiraling. Freud smoked 20 a day until jaw cancer took his face. Mark Twain lived to 90 chain-smoking. Davidoff costs $83 in Alaska thanks to a 135% tobacco tax.</p><p><strong>[3:46] The UPK / Dakota Calls Knife</strong>Old Man Folders accidentally ordered the pocket version instead of the AK bayonet. 14C28N steel, chisel grind, sliding mechanism — gimmick or legit Kubotan? Mall Ninja Kid confirms it stabbed him through his cargo pants.<a href="https://upknife.com/collections/upk-d-series/products/upk-d4c-compact-eclipse-ring2-ss-al">Up Knife OTF</a> | <a href="https://www.benchmade.com/products/176bk?srsltid=AfmBOoq-5frk8KLIktop3co2v4YHz7anBbJQrTEqGSKB-yai7Z2tuD6-">SOCP Dagger</a></p><p><strong>[8:34] Rampage Jackson's Party & the Elbow KO</strong>Small boxer talks trash at an MMA party — twice. Gets casually elbowed by a 280-lb ex-fighter who doesn't spill his drink.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yZ_Kzt450U" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Tiki Ghosn Video</a></p><p><strong>[11:44] Fortuna Kentucky Straight Bourbon</strong>Rare Characters 2022 barrel pick. First pour of the night.</p><p><strong>[12:32] Scout Carry Deep Dive</strong>No kink shaming. SOB carry allegedly put a cop in a wheelchair. Scout vs. bandido vs. appendix vs. Mexican carry debated. Appendix carry = built-in diet accountability. Paracord trigger-guard holster trick explained.</p><p><strong>[22:02] Draw Hunts & Alaska Hunting Stories</strong>Draw hunt conspiracy theories. A great-grandfather's 40-year bison quest won at age 80+ with a drop-block 45-70 Sharps. Spine-shot deer. TBD's resume: bear, deer, goat, caribou.</p><p><strong>[23:22] The Haul Road Hunt</strong>Mall Ninja Kid and Steve Renos (Bullets for Bucks) driving 18 hours to Dead Horse to pack-raft caribou country. 100-lb pack vs. 30-lb ultralight setup. Game sled recommendation.</p><p><strong>[27:57] Gear: Lithium Air Compressors & Tire Kits</strong>$cheap Amazon lithium compressor, one per glove box. Patch kit, impact wrench, right socket — don't be the guy with a scissor jack.</p><p><strong>[29:38] Rifles, Suppressors & Vehicles</strong>Christensen Arms 300 Win Mag at 5 lbs vs. $10K Fierce in 300 PRC at 9 lbs. Dead Air suppressor added. Then: Mall Ninja Kid's 2025 Jeep Willys, Stellantis electrical gremlins, and the Venture 4WD overlanding rabbit hole.</p><p><strong>[38:07] Truck Guns & Truck Knives</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Old Man Folders:</strong> KRISS Vector 10mm + Ontario machete (stolen, then resold to him by the thief)</li><li><strong>Mall Ninja Kid:</strong> Suppressed SBR Draco + NOR Knives Amok</li><li><strong>TBD:</strong> Draco / Krinkov + Bark River Bravo 1 in Magnacut</li></ul><p><strong>[55:01] Future Knife Trends & Industry Rant</strong>More finger-ring daggers. Less mechanical complexity for its own sake. Elegance hiding engineering — Jack Wolf, Pena, Panchenko called out. TBD wants monolithic frame button-lock flippers. Old Man Folders' ProTech Godson fires and annihilates a glass of bourbon mid-discussion.</p><p><strong>[55:01] Gerber Flat Iron Tangent</strong>Dakota has six. Two are hostages with stripped screws. Cerakote and custom scales discussed.</p><p><strong>[1:05:32] Sharpening Myth Busted</strong>Belt grinding does NOT ruin your heat treat. "If it heats more than it eats, trash the belt." Steel needs 450°F+ to lose temper — you'd blister before that happens. Also: the knifemaker killed by his own buffer, and why the shop cages theirs in 5-gallon buckets.</p><p><strong>[1:10:00] Outro</strong>"We are Old Man Folders and the Mall Ninja Kid."</p><p></p>
