Wait…what?! I wish I could say it’s a drop-in swap cause it’s not. But if ya got the tools and know what you’re doing…you can have your very own Nitro-V blade in a Vision R frame!

Lamia on bearings! Also a wonderful Des Horn in Nitrobe 77 steel from an awesome BF member, which is currently about as sharp as I think a knife can get.

How do you like the insingo blade shape on the Large Inkosi? I have the opportunity to get either a insingo or drop point on a large Micarta inkosi and I am torn between the blade shapes

Love the insingo blade. For my uses it’s a pretty clear winner. Not to say I can’t make it just fine with the drop point tho

I found a new knife company and I'm really impressed! I have a couple of there knives now...it's a company called Holtsmans gorilla knives...I've been carrying the survival neck knife for a little while now and am impressed! It's a small full tang k I've in D2 steel...has a diamond sharpener on the sheath and comes with a ferro rod...I'm loving it!

I spent the weekend replacing the wheel cylinders, drums, springs, and brake shoes on my Jeep's rear drum brakes. This is the second time I've done drum brakes and they are a pain in the ass unless you have some good experience with them! The first one took way too long just because this one stupid piece wouldn't stay in place. The second one went real nice and smooth though! Just got to adjust them and the E brake, flush the brake fluid, and I'm back on the road! Have a good day fellas/felletes!

Oh, by the way I used the old school USA made Gerber to bend the hooks on the springs a little more closed, those springs are really strong and it takes a lot of force, but the ol' Gerber did it beautifully! I had 4 other regular sets of pliers with me, but the Gerber actually fit the job best the way the plier jaws are configured.

Hope you use a spring tool to get them back in place, horror story coming. A friend was caught up in a massive lay off at the Nuke plant we worked at, I had enough seniority to hang on. He went to work for a car dealer in their shop. Was doing a drum brake job and using a screwdriver to set the spring. Pulling hard, the screwdriver slipped off the spring and right into his eye.
as a journeyman mechanic I tell that story to every apprentice working with me. Right tool for the job!
