Got the chance to go for a weekend trip with the guys on our Hogs (Harleys) to my friend's island camp 4 hours north of the stinking city. I took the Hell Razor along for a serious workout. I wore it all weekend long in a Spec OPs survival sheath to try it out for comfort. The only time I knew it was there was sitting down when it had to be moved aside for comfort. The HR chopped reasonably well for it's size, (I could have taken one of my SH's but I like the HR size for a camp knife), it cut ham,chicken and sausage, opened cans of beans, got pounded through hardwood to make kindling and got thrown at a log about a hundred times. This thing is a natural thrower. I normally throw with a blade grip but the HR seems to like a handle throw and would sink 8 out of 10 times with no practise. Anyone with a HR gotta try throwing it!

We did the usual booze cruise around the lake, shot some shells and cut a flagpole from a deadfall. The HR cut half way through the base and removed the top and most of the limbs, no wear on my hands!

The blade showed some damage, probably from throwing, bouncing off into rock. It has some rolled sections (small) and what looks like a chip on another section. I will do some research on how to reprofile for ease of sharpening and utility later. I have no strop to redo the original edge. Had a great time, wish you all could have been there. Hope you enjoy the shots.

let Amy see those pictures. She will love the fact you are drinking Coors Light
 
Somehow, that looks better than my last weekend. Nice! Thanks for the pics!
 
Those are just great pics of the weekend, definitely looked like a good time. Thanks for posting.
 
A hell of a lot better weekend than I had! Good for you and thanks for sharing!:thumbup:

I do that kind of damage to my HH quite often. I use a steel rod to get the edge straight and then clean up with sandpaper on a mousepad.:thumbup:
 
Hey man, amazing pics. That's a beautiful boat btw, I'm guessing Chris Craft maybe late 1960's? Great stuff.

Coors Light in Canada??? I figured they be driking a Canadian beer. Just goes to show that C.L. is extremely under rated;)

Thanks for posting! I may find myself with a new HR in the near future...now I REALLY hope it comes through.

Also...good to see you've been throwing it. I've been meaning to post a thread inquiring about the "throwability" of busse knives, and it looks like they hold-up rather well:thumbup:
 
Lagarto,
It's a 1935 mahogany launch with a 100 HP Buchanan engine lovingly restored by the guy sailing her.

Koli615,
Get it, throw it, you'll be amazed.
 
Love those HRs!

I'm, curious as to what finish and handle that particular exmaple has.
Urban Grey and Black??

I'm trying to pick a colour scheme for a BM-F so I am very keen to know what combo that HR is.
 
book'em, wow that's really cool. Love those old wooden boats, but they can be an upkeep nightmare.
