I just went over my friends battered knives with my work sharp belt sharpner, one of them a tanto shaped Kershaw knife, and i was able to get a good result just fine.
ATM i am looking at a bushcraft kind of knife, my big choppers i dont really need as i got a saw, so want something a little lighter and smaller to carry on those days and i think the Boker above fit that bill just fine.
And i still want a little Ooomp as Denmark have become a country with wolfs roaming again, and i dont want to go without a fight, one of them i met one night testing a flashlight, he did look at me in a way that let me unbutton my big Bowie but a flash of several 1000 lumen sent him running, but i did keep my flashlight on a higher output for the rest of the walk.
But then again i should really steer some of my money towards my computer case project that have been shelved for several months now.
Will hack into it with the angle grinder on Tuesday, that way i can figure out what size of parts i need to order to get on with it.
I got the bottom one, but with smooth scales, like it a lot and carried it a lot too.
It is lying right here in front of me on the foot of my computer monitor
Interesting grind on that NZ knife, but i would have reversed it so it was thin or should i say low in the pointy end.
I dont really need a knife to be stab able, if i do need something like that i bring my DIY stiletto in some obscure Bofors steel ( i made it when i was 16, and i am 54 today )
That is ? if i can find it, i think it is in my long time storage place.
It’s a full flat grind with a convex ground cutting edge which has been polished and stropped, it’s very sharp.
The back of the blade has been etched to simulate carbon, much in keeping with the stock look from Svörd.
The handle has beef reshaped and treated with New Zealand bees wax.
Nice! I knew about the auto but not about the mini. I live in California, so any auto over 2 inches is illegal to carry. The standard just barely fits my large hands, but a mini sounds neat too! Thanks for the info!
I made a mistake when I planted that bamboo in my backyard a couple of years ago: I didn’t make any barrier around it. Now I have a constant source of material for cutting - chopping. :person_facepalming:
I also added the CH Sultan to my wishlist.
Today I am carrying a Kizer Begleiter. A really nice, slim profile with VG-10 blade steel. Love thumb studs on slim profile knives.
Initially the pivot action was too stiff, but loosened up after a few days of fidgeting with it. The pivot screw must have Locktite on it, because it will not budge.
This aint going to fit in a pocket.
It is however going to fit under my Left armpit.
And it is doing nothing in regard to stopping me for trying working with that Kydex stuff, cuz the Leather sheath while fine and all, well i like to be a little different.
And kydex i can tailor to my carry system. ( CC / under jacket )
TBH i am also looking at other grip scales, but that is not going to happen anytime soon.
PS on my 27” 1080 screen, that pic are slightly larger than the actual size.
but a flash of several 1000 lumen sent him running, but i did keep my flashlight on a higher output for the rest of the walk.
