[MikeKu825]

This post basically sums up all my "lessons learned" from my first 3 months of trial and error on this forum. Great job!

 

[Lorien]

And I am here to correct spelling errers.
Very escalant points, clear, concise, presented in a logical and consistent hoarder.


Bully!

a Freudian slip, perhaps?

 

[betzner]

My Freudian slip is showing? That's just hoardable.

Good comeback, Lorien, lol.

Awesome write up! Now, how do I go about getting myself a Field Knife??

Three other options other than finding one in the wild and paying about 2 x as much as they originally sold for:

- travel back in time to the the simpler times

- becoming blood brothers with the # 1 FK hoarder in the Universe: Justin

- waiting for the FK 2.0

Excellent explanations, Mat. Answers probably every question a new visitor might have.

I guess I will wait for the FK2 and pay normal price for one!

Good idea. I only have 10. I can’t let any go.

Justin, I know the feeling.

Well, yall must have deep pockets to be able to spend that kind of money on knives just to look at them! I'm a user all the way and if I don't use it, then it's on the chopping block!

^Aw, no problem, I took out a home equity loan on my island.

Here's an example of some use...some of Alabama's finest, fragrant wood! @ManOfSteel89

I'm going to take some contrast pictures for you later, to show you the nature of micarta....and how it responds to cleaning! Stay tuned, you're going to see a drastic difference in looks!

Yup, bet it looks almost the same way as you received it after some soap and water

 

[betzner]

Excellent. Even if it lightens, it'll show what can be done, with the right oil or whatever, to effect color change

 

[91bravo]

The handles the way you see them above, is how it looks normally from day to day handling.

 

[91bravo]

I'll take some before and after shots to really show the difference!
