Nothing. I came here to share photos of broken knives that were put through an unusual set of circumstances for the benefit of our knife community, common behaviour at this site.
Yes, I wish to withhold my story, as I'm sure many of you people have things in your lives you don't always want to openly share with hundreds of strangers. My decision to do such is my own right; it contradicts no rules these forums are run by. The responses I've received however do.
Well someone has to tell the story!
We were near the planet Nimrod. Our Battle Star was taking plenty of hits from the Klingons. A futon torpedo took out 11 of our 14 Cummins diesel engines. With no power our ship began to fall like a rock. We deployed the massive parachutes to slow our decent but as luck would have it burned up when entering the planet Nimrods atmosphere. When the ship impacted the surface. Most of the escape routes were not accessable. We attempted to remove a screen to get out of the ship which triggered the emergency shutters. The emegency shutters are 4 inch's thick and are made of reprocessed eddie baure knives. So he used the Byrd and I used the Buck and we chopped right through that shutter. We later used one of the brass bolsters to strike against a rock to create a signal fire. It was three days before the USS Tigershark picked us up.
