No one has a video review on the parangatang on youtube. Guess I'll have to buy one and do it myself.
 
Reinhardt's taking too long...

ordered a Kabar Mk1 a couple minutes ago. Have some plans involving a stag crown handle. Anyone know where you can hand pick a crown you want?
 
Happy Friday all!!

Work is done for the weekend. Hex Hawks are being shipped to heat treat in the morning. :thumbup:

Got a few stouts chilling now. :D

Im Irie. :cool:

Hey I sent you an email yesterday about those hex hawks, did you get it?

Here's one that I was just watching a few minutes ago...

Not to helpful on some of the more rigorous testing but not too bad.
 
It just seems funny to me. Kinda like being at a party and dropping, " BTW, I don't drink coffee or spend three days a week in church, but y'all have fun with that" ... and then six dudes spend an hour pontificating about free-range beans and Jesus and try adamantly to convince me that my life is incomplete and I'm a dick unless I join their bizarre club.

That kinda stuff amuses me.

That kinda stuff makes me want to run and hide. Not fun for me at all. Plus my thought process isn't all that organized to begin with, so when I'm faced with that kind of irrationality and polemicism, I pretty much shut down and look for the nearest escape route. Luckily, I've got a stomach that churns at those sorts of encounters, so sometimes I don't have to leave.....if I sneak one out quietly....

Oh, yeah....TBL: Check out the Red Hot Chili Pipers (NOT a misspelling):

These women cover a variety of tunes (alot of them metal) on dueling harps!

I like that. It's a tiny bit distracting that they happen to be beautiful 20-something blonde twins gals who are, well, beautiful 20-something twin blonde gals, but even so... it sounds nice.

Sometimes I feel exactly the same way... "bleh, leave me alone." But sometimes I enjoy letting those types get all fired up - and then knocking them down with reason and facts, just because I'm an argumentative dick and frankly I'm pretty good at it. That always catches 'em completely off-guard. It never makes any difference, of course. It's just a matter of intellectual/philosophical sparring, to keep the ol' reflexes sharp.

Zombie go boom did one and they said sharpest out of the box knife they have ever done. Cut through their zombie head like it was styrofoam
 
I've wanted another since I traded the one I had to you. Figured its about time I got another. I just got my tax return the other day, so I'm spending part of it on a few things I want. I ordered a bull bar for my Tundra and a smaller flighting for my ice auger too.

As far as folders go, I think the Manix2 is the biggest bang for the buck.
I've gone through many folders in the same general price range.... The Manix has reigned supreme.
I've only found one other knife that I might like better. It was....slightly more expensive than the Manix2. Lol :D

Agree, and the weird costumes they sport for their videos plays with my kinky imagination :D
 
That's awesome!
Good to see JD getting some Blade Mag love.
He's been putting out some very cool custom knives here lately!
I really like the 710 Split model.

Yeah, I saw those. I was thinking of something that was more...relevant. I'm not really concerned with how well it cuts water bottles or fake zombie heads.

I would.... But its too cold right now.

Plus i got these awesome scales for it.... But no hardware to put them on.

I just went and checked... But i dont see it :confused:...... Did you make sure there was a "Z" at the end and not an "S" ??

Was flipping through the latest issue of blade magazine earlier, when I stumbled upon this


Thats awesome!! Congrats 710!!

Still waiting on my first issue.... Paid in January for the subscription so hopefully i get one soon!!

Word. Is it warm enough there to go out and do an outdoor review of it in use??



My printer came in at 7pm. Thats a LATE UPS delivery for me. But now im enjoying a beer... Ill hook it up once i have enjoyed a couple more LOL
 
Congrats, Julio!

Speaking of zombies and death cards, I had a thought recently.

OK fine, now that ya'll have stopped laughing about ol' JT actually having a thought, let's move on, shall we?

Everybody cuts water-bottles to show how keen their knives are.

How come nobody cuts frozen water bottles?
 
Faux-dain on a triscuit - not bad for a first attempt -- especially when paired with a Yuengling Porter

LMAO!! Well prolly because it would damage quite a few edges LOL That would be like trying to slice through a brick in a single cut.... Bad bad bad :D

Really to me cutting water bottles is more a test of human technique than a test of the knife itself. A cheap chinese knife with unknown steel can cut through a water bottle if the edge is thin enough.... Doesnt make the knife a good one to me though. Shows the cutter understands a little about cutting technique and follow through but thats about it. Just my opinion... Of course.
