I was cleaning up around the tool box and noticed this fell behind. In another life I twisted wrenches for some time - it was written by a mechanic, and some of you may have seen it before - but it does seem to relate to all you problem - solvers out there in the knife making world.
CREDO FOR OWNERS AND MECHANICS
Stock parts are always best except occasionally when they are not.
Always fix the problem as well as the solution
The only way to really find out if something is better is to try it yourself
Just because something makes sense doesnt mean it's right.
Changes are as likely to be tradeoffs as improvements
Nothing is believable until you've made the same mistake yourself
Even if you cut it twice it will still be too short
Don't fix it if it ain't broke- unless you know it's going to break anyway
A big problem is easier to find than a small one
No easier or cheaper approach is ever the best way
Wrenches are brain tools, not hand tools
Rarely does anything work out the way you want it to if left to chance
Maintenance is almost always easier than repairs and it costs less too
Take it easy, Bob
