Hey Everybody....

Poor Toooj...Despite a lot of time & considerable patience I still have to get him to post pics for me, but there is light at the end of the tunnell---I think...

Anyhoooo....The pics are of me harvesting some test media....That is tulip poplar, one of the most tractable soft "hard"woods, of which, we have an abundance .....I hope to start "lab" testing tonite or wed but probably thursday...I get a tooth out tomorrow and I expect it to be a difficult one soooo......I also hope to share some 77 "in use" pics later this week as well.......

Hope you guys enjoy the pics ....

All Best....

Ethan;

I'll bet we're looking forward to more pictures a lot more than you're looking forward to a tooth extraction. I hope all goes well (and painlessly).

Best,
Bob
 
hmm why the negative stigma on the china made bk13?

The BK13 that came with my BK-9 is a nice knife. I convexed the edge and have found that it could get nasty sharp and seems to be holding OK. I haven't been taking down saplings or battoning with mine yet :). Its mostly been used in the kitchen so far.
 
Ethan vs the Green Maple :)

awesome little knife and great tests.

yeah, i wasn't expecting it to baton big stuff ;) interesting test to try it. pocket scalpel indeed!

now all we need is a knife with a little loop on the end, ala trout/bird knives :>

and a pony :)

Sorry to wake the dead Ethan, but I was curious to know if you guys had a price range in mind for these as sold solo?

I could almost swear he said it would be under $25 for sure...

Or am I making that up?

Don't quote me on it!!!!!!

I seem to remember the same thing, rmc85. Maybe Ethan or Tooge will chime in and confirm it.
