Re: Knife shop dreams

Cool shrimp Jerry. Sincerest best wishes to you. I built switchblades too, stopped about 10 - 12 years ago. I enjoyed it a lot, and the members here were really supportive. I share your feelings of nostalgia about the bench work. I had a pretty nice shop in my basement (still do, just don't use it m...

Re: RIP Nick Wagner (Horizinod)

I remember Nick well, and have wondered from time to time how he was doing. Back around 2005 he and Brad Skipper had a feud that spilled over to several forums, including Talkblade. I remain convinced that Nick and his followers, and Skipper with his followers, wrecked the Teddy's Place forum. Nick ...

Re: About grounding/earthing

The lady of the manor bought new sheets about a month ago, and they generate static like nothing I've ever seen. Raking a hand across them is almost like when you disturb seawater at night and all the little phosphorescent micro organisms light up. Maybe bleeding off static is beneficial? I wake up ...

Re: OMG! I made a pink knife!

Wow Bonzo, that's some nice looking knife. I like the way the scales are flush with the bolsters. Thanks for sharing it.

Re: OMG! I made a pink knife!

I remember early on remarking that I wouldn't mind selling a few knives if there was a market for them. Pushbutton who was a prominent member here advised me agains...

Re: OMG! I made a pink knife!

Thank you Killgar.

Now that you mention it, I often made spare scales, mostly in black polycarb; that gem composite material in my 2 examples is fragile stuff. Oh well, it's all packed up.

OMG! I made a pink knife!

Sometimes, you need some space, and you finally put away something you thought one day you would pick up again, but at some point you realize you probably won't. Some of you know I used to make knives. What you may not know is that I stopped some years ago. I'm more of an R&D guy than a production t...
