All of the edited post seem earily familiar to the Jim Adams thread in the GBU forum.
Also no response to the name thing.
You also feel the need to keep refering to the fact that you have "experience" using knives. So if two people, you and someone else, go out in the woods and each take a knife, each of their own construction and in this case you take your sawzall blade knife, that you know how to use your inferior knife better and would be able to survive better even if the knife that the other person takes technically performs better. At least that is what I got from your post.
If so that means that
1. you know that your knife made "simply" is not as good as some other knives made by "couch-bladesmiths" and
2. that you keep portraying yourself as having a better skill set than anyone else with a knife and that a knifes construction doesn't really matter and
3 you must really be full of yourself
I really have a hard time taking you seriously when you edit your posts so often. Do you feel the need to make them better after you post them? Or did you say something that makes you look bad? What is it????
On the subject of claiming you "made the knife" when you buy a prefinished blade blank from someone else and put a handle on it has been discussed a lot on this and other knife making forums. I feel that the general feeling is that if you buy the blank you should have FULL disclosure of that in PLAIN WORDING. Forming the blade wether by forging or stock removal brings with it a sense of "making" the knife. I think the blade is what defines a "knife" more than the handle. Lots of things have handles, less things have blades for use like a knife does. Customers don't appreciate you dancing around that issue with wording or that the knife didn't "exist" before you made it. That is a very shady way of wording things. No the knife didn't exist but the blade is what truly makes up the knife. There are knifes with blades but not handled with wood but I have never seen a knife with a handle and no blade
