I have 3 Spydies. I needed some good folders for Virginia, and some 3 inch blades for DC. I have a Persistence (LOVE that blade shape and length), a PM2 which is super sexy, and a Sage 1 for EDC (an S30v blade...holy cow, its just awesome). Since I have to carry a folder, Spyderco has become the ones I carry.

Of course, I also slip a SAK Cadet in my pocket. Love em.

Im having a hard time understanding how this works. It doesnt look like there is any chain going from the chain/gear section of the bike to the grinding wheel. It looks like it you peddle it it will just move like a regular bike and the grinding wheel wouldnt spin....

What am i missing??

my grinder runs on ketones, and I'm SO not that hip.
But HMMmmm.... I have a 70HP titanium mufflered generator sitting idle in the corner of the shop...

Look at the double gear sprocket under the grinder. I think what you do is shift the drive chain from the rear wheel sprocket to the right most gear of the grinder sprocket. A mobile knife grinding service, but I see no stands of any sort to keep it from falling over while you grind, unless that's the purpose of the 4 pipes on the front box.

Ah yes.... Now that could work. Looks to be close to the same distance between them.

Watching the Bronco/Colt game and listening to the QBs signal calling is just weird.

"Scarecrow!! Scarecrow!!" (Manning)

"Apple!! Apple!!" (Luck)

LOL, good times

would now be a good time to tell him that in the 21st century, sharpening knives on a constantly degrading coarse spinning wheel is asinine compared to the suite of diamond hones he could fit in that box up front?

Naaah.

I told him you said "hi" and showed him my new Magua. Took my 7, too.....everybody was getting a kick outta that.
Also, there was a rumor circulating about some guy named Tiberius or something that involved forging.....I wasn't sure who was being talked about, but I hope he goes for it. There was a young man there named Caleb White who had some stuff on his table with the most beautiful hamons.
 
I really like the preon 1 and the bronze and copper maratacs from county comm, but I prefer tail switches, which neither one has

Can you make me a hat/ cape with one of those? I want to wear its skull as a hat, and drape its front paws over my shoulders:thumbup:

The other I would do the same kinda thing as... but use its head/ upper jaw as a cod piece :D then run around the woods in nothing but that! (when it gets warmer)

In all seriousness... nice catch :thumbup: Coyotes are a big problem up here too. We hand load sub sonic .303 to take care of them :)

I'll sell you the whole coyote, and you can skin it. We tried skinning one before right after we killed it, and it smelled horrific right from the start and was a pain in the rear end to skin. Some people do make hats out of them though. Always wanted to get one made but they cost a ton. Some go for 300 $$$. Here's a pic of one like you have in mind. :D

Thanks. We have to snare them, there is so much thick brush and so many hills, we can't see them to shoot them. Usually when you do see one here you didn't bring a gun, and by the time you make it back they're gone..

Coyotes are predatory pests. When I go outside at night, I can hear 5 to 9 distinctive packs howling. There's a pack in every overgrown pasture and strung out along the creek.

One morning, my brother went out and was looking over his pasture. His cow-calf pairs were scattered all over the place grazing. He went inside for another cup of coffee and when he came back out a couple of minutes later, the cows were all running away from the stock tank. When he looked closely, he saw a coyote head. He went in, got a rifle, came back out and shot it. A minute or so later, another one started creeping across the pasture. He shot that one and then a few minutes later, shot a third one. When he went down there to haul them off, he found a dead calf.

His neighbor across the creek drove up on a pack feeding on a yearling. There were over 30 feeding.

Around here, coyotes are shot on sight.

We've had them kill lambs 10 feet from our house. We shoot them on sight if we can, too. :thumbup:

Was eying down the AAA copper Maratac too. Out of stock as of now though.

'my' taxidermist told me to bring him the whole thing, no field dressing or anything, if I got one. And that was just for a pelt.

That 'hat' is amazing. Must be a statement like: "I'm SO CHILL that I don't even care that a mangy predetor is chewing on my head."
