...And that's saying something. (As a big fan of the "Bullets" myself.) :thumbup:

I find the contrast to be very interesting here. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=670276

One of mine being discussed in the Custom Forum

 

[Blues]

Contrast? What contrast? LOL! Now that's a horse of a different color. (And a mighty fine one at that.)

On a more "traditional" slipjoint, I prefer Don "putting stuff in the holes and smackem with a hammer." Knifehead is such a comedian.

Don's fancy stuff. . . . .screw'em.

 

[Don Hanson III]

Gig, just exactly the way I feel and will continue to do.

Beat the hell out of the folksy knives and screw the fancy stuff!

Vive la différence!!!

(And she's plenty fancy for my taste... )

It's seriously sharp, Chris. In the same tradition as other makers known for vorpally sharp edges such as Halfrich and Murray Carter (amongst others).

 

[KnifeHead]

is "vorpally sharp" so sharp that when you cut stuff, it only has one side? Dang...that's sharp now.

 

[Blues]

Mama always said that sharp is as sharp does...

 

[orca8589]

Okay - what's 'vorpally sharp' and 'vorpal blade' mean? Come on y'all ,edjumicate me.

thx - cpr
