Congrats on the job, Moose.

Haha, at least you have a good story now! :D

That's not even the wildest knife story I got.

I worked construction for many years, most guys on the roughneck side of work, tend to carry blades, and get all kinds of bent outta shape sometimes.

Wanna hear another one?

Moose
 
just stabbed myself rather badly with one of my own blades. shd prolly have it looked at.
 
Where's my Sebenza? You were the first to post, therefore, you are now liable for the HONORING OF THE MODS!!!f

:D

Moose

I gots no Sebenza, unfortunately. Once I get all the orders cleared out of my shop though, rest assured you'll get something to honor the mod...
 
On a separate note, y'all remember how Thrillbilly walked off with a bunch of steel, including the contest prize that was supposed to go to B.Mauser? Well, long story short, I am making him another knife, and since he had to wait for many many more months than I thought he had, and was incredibly patient, we decided just to let him design his own knife. He wanted something that had BK9 styling, but in a more of an 11 size, for EDC carry here in the fine state of Colorado, where the legal limit is 3.5". So, I put together a little design with a blade influenced by the 9, and a handle influenced by the 11. Ironically, I drew up the initial sketch on 9/11, so I figured it's fitting to dub it the 9-11, for a multitude of reasons. Managed to get it ground out today while I was working on gladius orders, and thought I'd throw up a WIP pic. I like this one a lot, and would like to know what you all think.

Yes, I know, I'm covered in steel dust...
 
Yeah sorry I went and snarked that up :D -- someone came and bought it already.
No worries, I'm just gonna end up going to get another one at the store I think. Although I may have to check the "other" forum... They might have a good deal on one.
