Thanks! It's a holt haptic that I ground into a more pointy warnie the factory sheeps foot was not my favorite.
So, for Part II here--we've finished our supper and I'm distractedly scrolling through today's posts, my wife walks by and says, "What's that, a goat?" Of course I only saw the CRK with my Knife Knut tunnel vision, though I did look again and confirm the goat. Anyway, great minds and all, and I couldn't resist another pic and post....
The 1st step is admitting You have a problem
CPE_Knives
has a sweet Field Knife with hamon for sale in the exchange right now and I’ve been holding off…trying not to crack….I cannot believe it hasn’t sold yet!
A bigger problem....1st step is realized and complete. What’s the second step?
But there's no Goat in your picture.
Well the solution of course is to give-in and Buy Buy Buy my Friend1st step is realized and complete. What’s the second step?
Yes, yes, I have a problem. Lol. And a solution.
That is good story--thanks for sharing, Coleman. It's a cool thing when something someone else has customized that you particularly admire falls into your lap. My first Tabargan was like that--just gorgeous--anodized with custom marbled CF scales and backspacer. It was really too pretty perfect to carry and use and I stupidly let it go after a few years to fund something else. I'm glad for the other knife, but regret it to this day.
Similarly, the guy who bought my Tabargan also let it go, then spent considerable time and money custom replicating the knife he also missed. He finally got it done, but got jerked around so long by the notorious scale maker that he sold that one too to get the bad taste out of his mouth. Reads like the Cursed Tale of the Tabargan.
My handsomely enhanced Firetac came from an interim owner here who got it as is from AZCK. I'd seen and admired it here and grabbed it up off the Exchange when he put it up for sale. He soon regretted doing so, much like my earlier transaction, and wrote to let me know he'd buy it back any time. Sadly for him, I won't be repeating my earlier mistake.
Your mention ofBilboBaggins had me searching his posting history as I recall him, but haven't seen him around either. He seems a rather sporadic poster with large gaps in his history, so perhaps he can only take dealing with this bunch of Knife Knuts in small doses. I too hope he's OK.
Hey fellas. Still out here. Glad to see the REK kapara is still around!!! I loved working with Josh on that knife. Haven't had much time for knives lately. It's been a bit of the old "life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." Nothing catastrophic.Nice logo! You’ve been absolutely killing it, Travis!
This Kapara mod was done by Josh at REK, you are correct sir. However, I cannot take credit for this build. Even though it would be the little things I would ask for, I didn’t ask for this build.
The story behind this one though…that is a good one. This Kapara was commissioned by
I will never forget his kindness and have been hoping all is well as he hasn’t posted here in a while.
Thank you for the kind wordsChazzyP
I realized that after posting--just didn't get it framed right. I quoted thinking your pic would show up above, but your attachment method doesn't do that, similar to my results with the current method I'm using. Of course one could click on your attachment link in the quote, if it's not too much trouble....
