Was supposed to be outside working on the yard, but the weathers been real nice today, and even though I couldn't get "out", sometimes the yard is enough, or all you can get. Threw a quick "fireplace" up a few weeks ago, burned my first fire last weekend. Need some more wood for tomorrow night, so, I was picking up drop wood from the yard and playing with my 9.

I thought about cleaning the rust off it, but, thought it would be mor fun to beat the rust off. :D

This is how I secure wood, when I am making shavings. Get your minds out of the gutter.

Said shavings.

Chopping is fine and good and all, but using the baton log to cross cut wood this size or bigger, well, its just easier for me.

4 side spine strike, and break. Easiest and most efficient way I go about it. No worries of injury, or arm fatigue. 4 solid wacks, and you're done.

Just some shavings.

I'll probably finish this thread tomorrow, I called in on active kitchen duty, and had to stop there. I'll finish the fire tomorrow evening.

ETA, the micarta was from one of my BK77's. The S30V now rides some grivory. The BK9 may go back to grivory soon too, haven't decided yet.
 
Nice photos, thanks for sharing. Just got back in the house from sitting around a fire all evening.
 
I really like that stripped and rampless look. I think I'll do mine.

oh, i got some knife pron for ya :) i might be going to hell, but i bought some cold steel knives. throwing knives :) that's one product they do REALLY well.

Hi guys I'm new here been lurking for a little while. Did you patina the blade? It has some really cool diagonal lines on it. Maybe it was the motion you used when you stripped the coating maybe.


EDIT:

I just click on your profile and looked up all the posts you've started and on page 3 I found the answer. Good job w/ the patina!

Welcome and thanks Junglas. Yeah, I'm not much for blade coatings, and I wanted to put some kind of pattern on it. Mustard tiger striping was what I was going for.

Once again, welcome, stick around.

All the posts I keep seeing of the BK9 keep making me want it more and more..

Thanks a lot, Moose.
 
Quick question, moosez45: is that a firesteel notch where the thumb ramp used to be? Does it throw more sparks, or is it just easier to sharpen only the notch, and not the spine. A recessed notch is less likely to cut the thumb as well, I suppose. I like the look of your mods. I'm thinking of adding more jimping to the thumb notch instead of grinding it off, just as an experiment.

Just get it. It is a fine piece of craftsmanship. I did a very unscientific testing of 10 of my blades & the BK9 was right at the top. There is something to be said about "quickness/light in the hand/livelyness" of the blade. Sometimes a thinner blade can give a deeper cut. It is the best cutting/chopping "thin" blade that i own. I generally like 1/4"+ & wide blades, but the BK9 has made me re-evaluate that. If i don't foresee prying with it, it is now my go-to favorite.
 
blah blah blah blah blah 1/4-3/8 must have or it sucks knife. know what? a KaBar BK09 is more knife than 99.99% of person-kind needs. it's more knife than chuck norris needs. yeah, chuck norris can fellate one, swallow, and shit it out, but know what? even then, it's still more knife than 99.98% of people NEED. it's what godzilla uses to trim his toe nails. truth! he told me ;) so, i mean, COME ON. seriously, there is nobody who can tell me this knife let them down, failed them, or otherwise did not bring home the bacon. gah.

if i see another apartment bound 50 pound overweight civilian that has never tasted his own blood whining about how the BK09 is not 3/8 thick and made of quantum enhanced crucible steel 9000, i will personally drive over there and feed this person donuts until they vomit. O M G. gawds :)

that said, happy mother's day, buy her a knife, and god speed.
