My Strider's detent must be loosening. The nightmare grind got the better portion of my thumb last night. I left a smear on the blade as its trophy D:
 
Folder... D, have you considered the Hoback roller detent? Or perhaps a replaceable lock bar like Begg?

Pics.

I'm bored as (fill in the blank). I woke up at 4:30 am in pain, yay! Waited til 7:45am to take my first pain pill.. Might stop taking them today. From April surgery I only took 5 of 30 percs. So far this one is much more painful and I'm on 6 of 30 vics. 0_o

Oh yeah, D, how is the Ti tanto turning out?

Cha.
 
I bet Daniel has tunnel vision right now, working on the folders like crazy!

Mornin gang. Sloth, take it easy, pain management is a big deal. You don't recover as fast or as well if you are constantly in pain, plus it can cause other issues like sore joints from limping. I understand no wanting to be loaded up on drugs, but sometimes you gotta let them do the work.

I pulled a muscle in my back under my shoulder blade last night. Its killing me! I can't reach down to tie my shoes, or pick up anything heavier than 10 pounds. This sucks. It hurts to take a deep breath!


Have a good one y'all!

Is it somewhat new? It's wild how much a detent can change during break in.

Nightmare grinds are cool, I'd like a 1" wide wheel to do those double plunges, they are tricky as heck.

I have a book with some Persian daggers (pesh kabz) that have the coolest compound grinds... fun stuff!

I hope it didn't get your finger very much, ouch!

No, rather keep it simple. I might do ceramic ball detents though.

Sorry to hear that man! That is good staying off those pills. Feel better soon!

The folder is going to be bad!!! :D


20 Pounds of parts! 88 pieces total for 29 sets...
 
Sloth357 - Ti tanto... nothing really, I do have a batch going now between that one, the .36" 5160 one, .187" O1 Tuna-Maki and two Chef's Knives.

They are all final ground and heat treated so I'll finish them up in the next few days and then it's folder thirty! I'm finishing up more Backpackers and Ti KCT's along the way.

I spent Monday and yesterday mailing out more knives and have been throwing up this morning, Jade had the same bug I think. I really don't feel too rough for being sick and hope it passes. I want to anodize a bunch of stuff, it may be a good day for that!


I have the next few months and beyond booked up with folders, Backpackers, KCT's, 'dashis, and more! It's exciting...
 
Keep it Rollin'! Puking? Not good... Maybe food related? I almost never get sick and pukey... Eat saltines, drink lots o water and some 7up.

Mock up a folder with the new parts! :)

Hmmm,, no CCKs in that mix? Well typing with thumbs is slow and frustrating...

X- my back goes through that once a month I swear... Don't try to "stretch it out"... Hot shower, no stretching, and take 3 beers and hit the couch. Call me later if this doesn't help :). And drugs are good, just depends on which ones!

The worst part, besides pain, is being so bored and USELESS. Meh, back later!

Yeah I haven't puked in forever, Jade did the same thing a few days back and is feeling better now... I feel rough.


Credit Card Knives - I'd like to do some of them along with more Ti gear... I have a slightly different design for them that is killer by the way.

Sheeeeet, I'm not falling apart... Just maintenance. :). You drive your car hard, you need to have repairs more often... My health is mostly tip top.. I don't take any meds, no asthma, no diabetes, not over weight, just had a couple things happen that needed some love :)

So yeah, where be the prototype folder! Sick or not! Produce the images :D

Just a note... Vicodins + heat + barely walking = whacked out o_o. I should go operate heavy machinery now, later!
