    First Knife Designed using CAD

    Please do not take this as me being rude. Personally I do not like the actual look of the blade, it looks like someone is attempting to be clever instead of realistically designing for a purpose of work, In my eyes a knife is a tool. However I am not an expert but a newbee learner, if you like...

    I hear hog hunting in Texas and elsewhere is a necessity as the hogs do mega damage to crops, I would love to go night shooting for them. Are there any destructive hogs near where you live.

    Blade sanding and finishing

    Flog yourself to exhaustion with the polishing mop and varied wet/dry paper, I have had this prob since I started making knives, I have given up getting the high finish, it rips my guts out trying. lol I admire those with the energy and ability to get perfection.

    USA Freight Trains

    Bit dodgy if you ask me. As kids we used total steam train numbers and record them but nowadays the interest in diesels and electric is NIL here.

    USA Driving Licences

    You mention taxis, Here in London England, IMO they are brilliant, clean, not smelly and the drivers have a wealth of information to help us from outside the capital. In Coventry they are awful and run by mostly Pakistanis, the language is a problem, I cannot understand how they get a licence.

    Magnet Fishing

    These magnets are vey powerful for everyday use and if 2 stick together you cannot part them. The stuff fished from river or canal is usually stolen and dumped. Small household safes are found empty as they are easier to bust open.
