I'm pretty stoked. The newest issue of Tactical Knives. My knife is marked C And the blurb, C again

A little update since the last post. Man this ain't fun. Apparently I've developed some condition called Rhabdomyolysis. Which in Latin must mean "we told you to work out, but you're stupid and took it to the extreme, so you win kidney failure." Its basically, you work out too hard, your...

Hi Guys, Got the knife from Ted and have been waiting for a sunny day to shoot some pics, but apparently the sun ain't never coming out in Georgia again. Talk about a thing of beauty, Ted did a freakin' awesome job on this knife. The handle seems like it was made for my hand. The satin...

One point, as a former race team bicycle mechanic, working in a bike shop, and after having to tell countless dads, WD-40 isn't a lubricant or a rust displacer. It's a water displacer, hence the WD. After you clean a mechanical part with solvent and then rinse it clean with water, the WD-40 is...

This might help with your plate quenching. I bought a wood clamp with wide clamping plates off of amazon. Drilled the plates so that I could screw them onto the clamp. This way I can go from the oven, to the quench plates and then crank down the clamps all in a couple seconds and can clamp the...

Mike, I'm right there with you. On three different blood thinners. I've got some Celox, which is like QuickClot, that I now keep in the shop. Same principle as the Wound Seal, a powder that you pour in to stop the bleeding. Walmart, in the camping dept. sells a small kit that contains two...

Here's what somebody gets to play with.... Jericoh Blade Works SEER Elmax Mk V *forgot to add the specs. 10" overall, .236" thick Elmax stainless steel, black/OD G10, filework.

Sorry, I'm late to the party. Heart attacks take up a lot of time. Is it too late to play? I have a knife that I finished up right before. I'll take better photos for the pic thread. Ipad cameras leave a good deal to be desired. Made from Boss's .236" thick Elmax, 10" overall with a 5"...

Thanks for the heads up Mike. I was looking for something more for just the every day scrapes and nicks we all get around the shop. I've also moved a first aid bag in there with lots of celox and super glue. Teddy, my wife found them on Amazon. They're just basic blue coveralls with Kevlar...

Thanks man. It's some scary stuff. I actually ordered a few different makes of Kevlar gloves and some Kevlar coveralls which should be a metric ton of fun in Georgia's heat. I'm changing my business plan a little and cutting down on special order and custom work I take and doing more knives that...

Go see a doc, choose a salad over the double bacon, triple mayo, quadruple cheese monster burger with a double order of fries. A few weeks ago I had the great pleasure of having a heart attack. Let me tell you, that stuff hurts and the recovery is no fun either. I ended up having angioplasty...

Has something changed with Busse's trademark of it? I've seen 4 or 5 on different knives just this morning while swimming through the different forums. Granted, I've always thought that the trademarking of a hole was kinda hinky, but, hey, to each their own.

... and almost didn't get finished at all. It's CPM D2 and it took so long to finish grind and ate through so many belts that I stabbed it into the workbench as a reminder to never work with this stuff again. Then after talking to Walter Brend at Blade about how much he liked the stuff I was...

Dojo, the Ginormous Idiot. He's a Bernese Mountain Dog and 130 pounds of lap wrecking force.

Hate to admit it, but I was making some knives for me for camping, and being inherently cheap, I found a three pack of bamboo cutting boards for around 11 bucks at Walmart or target and used that for grips. Ended up working so well, I made three more with the bamboo to have others try it out. So...

Robert, that was what happened when I got the first installment of my stitches collection. A blade spun around and helicoptered a hole in my wrist. Funny enough, two years later I was messing with a tomahawk and the point of the beard caught me on the exact same spot and that was the third...

I got approached by 3 different magazines and one e-zine about articles and all of them were going to return the knives after the article was written. All 4 wanted me to take down my FAQ page which is a bit... Different from most. I told each of them I don't change anything for anyone and that...

The good thing is I chose to be dumb while my wife was out of town so I don't have to hear her freak out about how I'm gonna bleed to death.

This was a first for me, and came about by me just thinking about other stuff and not paying attention. You know when you're drilling and that nice curl of metal comes up and wraps around your drill bit? Take my word for it... don't grab it. It'll act like a bandsaw and rip right through you.

Oh yeah again... the Patriot is still kinda pimpy.
