JK Toby's Knife (formerly-I got a package in the mail today...)

[KYenglish]

Fixing a fishing reel with no know how and a JKTK:

Step one: somehow break a perfectly good reel

(With a set of tools mere feet away, some knife lovers often chose the SAK in there pocket over a decent screw driver, it's a very identifiable-re:crazy- trait.)
Step two: Add JKTK and take apart

Step three: clearly indicate with the JKTK that the reel itself is perfectly fine and there was no reason to break it down this far

Step four: very unclearly identify the broken piece of plastic attached to the switch thingy that has snapped off, and lodged itself somewhere vital

Step Five: Feed child who clearly thinks your crazy (not necessary for all models?)

Step Six: Reassemble

Step Severn: take more pictures of the JKTK (most people forget this part)
Note: don't forget to try and get artsy with it and fail

I'm a sick, tiresome man, but a sick tiresome man with a great (if small) set of knives

Damn right!

JK TK and a buck 301 I bought from john a ways back

Anyway, thought i'd do something "productive" - if you can call it that - for the JK TK, never goung to equal the masters but i's like to play,

Checking on my progress:

original, and much better quality

New and inferior in every way

Hope they dont mind but i learned all i could from the Rayban and JK sheaths I have and went about messing it up. Also, and in a serious break in character, I looked some stuff up on how to do things properly and found a new stiching style that has the benefit of not looking like it has been cobbled together by three blind horses with a rake.

I made up for this by refusing to move at a reasnoble pace and making the stitches uneven. That'll show 'em!

enjoy your laughter,

peace out

Hi KYe -

I would be proud if I could do as well! Looks good to me! JK and Rayban are great at what they do, and they make it look easy (So does Noah by the way...)

Nice job - thanks for the pictures.

I really like the shot of the JKTK with the Buck 301 from below - nice!

best regards -

Thanks

That JK/buck pic might be my desktop pic soon, . You are right, i am proud, sure makes me appreciate the professionals though. I have looked at a lot of pictures of Noah's sheaths and keep hoping he might make them again one day.

That looks phenomenal. Congrats! Looks like a knife that you can really use for most anything.

 

[KYenglish]

Thanks, I think it is, I'm working up to a review.

 

[KYenglish]

I really am working up to a review, , need to get some time with wifes camera though because as you can see mine does't do a great job with the blade (it really shows up o th sak) better post 'em now though or I'll forget, we went to the park today, across the road is the railway line, Ravenna used to be a big railroad town, and we took the opportunity for some pictures.

Looks good next to train and train parts, check

And soon you will have two, this one is in walnut with brass pins.

 

[KYenglish]

That looks beautiful, can' wait, two! I might explode, can; wait to compare the walnut and zircote.

I should re-title this thread, "one man's obsession" sounds good.

I tried really hard today to chose something different, i have other knives you know, other jk's, folders, fixed and...well thats it, just the folder and fixed blades really, anyway they e going unused and unloved and i tried to cycle through ll i have regularly, don't have any just for collection, still taring onto their home today it was very clear they were going to have to wait some more. poor beggars, her some of my latest snaps, you can see some of the forming patina occasionally ;

cuts subs, check, also doesn't raise any undue attention in diner

sits well, good boy

hussy!

The ms. & i went for a hike this morning and while you guys are enjoying Porky in the woods, i,m glad i'm here and not there because today i got my first 2 JK knives !
What can i say? AWESOMe!
The Nessmuk is what i expect it to be, the LRK is not a cute little thing; it is a little BIG man!
John, keep doing what u are doing, that is why you have so many customers that can also call themselves friends.
Enjoy the may gathering while i get to play with my First JK knives
And Happy Mom's day to all the Mom's in your lives!
