2 JKM's and Replacement Danglers (pics!)

You can also use plain old baking soda to put out a fire. I've heard that you can also use flour but I'd be leary of that as flour dust can combust under the right conditions.
 
I've seen someone demonstrate the combustible flour theory - he used some kind of ground-up mushroom powder and created a very impressive burst of flame.
 
As kids, we melted down a bunch of candles in a old cooking pot. The wax eventually lid and started to burn. We spit water through straws into the burning wax, from a distance. It created a huge fireburst about 10ft high. I guess I'm lucky to still be able to write this. Kids do a lot of stoopid stuff, it's amazing how much of that we end up surviving.

Never use water with buring wax or oil for that matter.

Hi Aproy1101:

Those JKM's are very nice and look strong. Nice leather.

I see in your pictures that the scales are pinned on and there is a metal pommel as well. I am familier with pinned scales, but how is the metal pommel attached?
 
Yes, I suppose there are a lot of things around the house that might put out a fire. Extinguishers are cheap and effective. We have:
One in the kitchen
One by the door between the house and garage
A big one in the workshop on the wall by the door right under the smoke alarm
One in the living room by the wood stove
One in the camper
150' of garden hose attached to the water system on a hanger in the garage.

Having lived through a serious house fire once, I don't take this lightly. Please don't either.

The pommel is peened on just like it is on any khuk. Think of the Chiruwa AK. It has pinned scales and a peened pommel. Yes they are a stout knife. Probably lovers of true pukko knives would scoff at the blade thickness, but I like it. Never have been a purist. It cuts too, so the thickness doesn't kill the design. :thumbup:

Edited: Steve, we're friends bro, call me Andy.
 
Since I'm leather-phobic;) and can't get over the hump of making my first sheath, I modified my JKM sheath last night by forming a kydex sleeve and slipping it into the sheath. It wouldn't have fit, but my sheath had a piece of suede leather glued inside that I was able to pull out. I feel a lot better about having that razor dangling in my pocket now.:eek: Thanks for the suggestion guys.:thumbup:

Rawhide Andy, you can wet mold it to dang near any shape, and once it's dried good and hard you'll need a drill press to put stitching holes in it. Many old time Native American and early European American scabbards were buckskin over a rawhide inner sheath. If you dry it out good and then seal it to keep out any future moisture, it's very much like "natural Kydex". ;)

Then again, your sheath work is coming along fine, just adding a welt next go around should be all you need.

I've never worked with rawhide. Its got an interesting look. I'm definitely looking to add that something to my sheaths. Maybe rawhide is the answer. Got any pics of how you've used it?
 
Cool ass Mike. I've seen snippets of your wonderful collection! Awesome stuff. You take way better pics than me too! Oh well can't do everything.
