Hi all, here is something of interest. I am going to design and get made a
medium sized camp knife. It will be made from Talonite. Now, I have some
ideas in my head and have expressed them to the group as well as seeking
advice from certain individuals.
I will report on the 'diary of a knife' and go through, step by step, the
trials a tribulations of designing and getting a custom knife made. Once it
is built I will test it and report on its performance. I and my kind sponsor
Tom, would like to show the group, really what is involved and how well it
aught to go, or not as the case may be. I hope some of you will find this
interesting and of value. If any of you have any suggestions of what you
would like to see or have me do (no rude comments please!)please feel free
to post to the group. I will consider carefully all suggestions, and
appreciate your time.
It is my intention to keep the group up to date and show the newer members,
what knife making and designing is really like. As Tom told me, there is a
lot of bad advice going around in this group (paraphrasing) and many people
run off at the mouth in an ill educated fashion at times! Don`t take offence
I have done that at times also! Just look how many great people have left
this group because of childish flames and behaviour, a loss that I regret
greatly. I hope this will redeem my standing somewhat for past misdemeanours
and heck I get a fantastic knife into the bargain!
Have a good one!
