Just picked up my BAS blem at the post office. I am really impressed overall. This is a beautiful knife, and the karda, chakma and sheath are in great shape as well. I can't wait to get out and cut some stuff-- this thing begs to be used. Unfortunately, I am at work right now, so all I have been able to cut so far is some arm hair and a post-it note.

Also, I need to fill a few small cracks in the horn handle-- regular super glue or krazy glue will work for this? Should I fill the cracks before I moisturize the handle with some sort of lanolin-based goop, or moisturize then fill the cracks?

Chances are, your co-workers have plenty of things that you can chop cut and slice. Rulers, pencils, phonebooks, and other office items can take the place of brush or other plant matter. :D

Of course I will take no responsibility for untimely loss of employment.

should you choose, you might also help re-define the entire concept of a "termination interview."

justa thought.

:rolleyes:
 
Ok, you guys are not helping matters at all. I've been looking at my cube partitions for the last twenty minutes wondering how long it would take the BAS to chop through them:D .

Yeah,

Then you can get fired like the guy who brought a pocket folder to work, and we'll have another really cool story for us to talk about here on bladeforums.

Based on location, waving around a BAS might not be completely out of keeping with the normal working environment.
 
Hey, Tohatchi NM, that's my home location-- geeze, who would work in a place like that??? :p

Well, I got some Hooflex and krazy glue on my lunch break. I decided to glue the handle before I put the hooflex on, thinking that the Hooflex might impede the adhesion of the glue. I'm going to let is sit on there for a few hours and then wipe off the excess.

Oh, and for anyone who was wondering, the BAS really does a number on cube walls, even when you are just kidding around and not really meaning to cut anything. Luckily the pattern in the fabric makes the slice virtually invisible:rolleyes:

You could always use some of that glue on the cut.
It would probably work better than sewing.:D :D
 
Phil - can you post a link to the thread or story on the guy who got fired for a folder at work? I'd like to find out more about it.

I carry an Emerson Mini-Commander just about everywhere. Most of the time I don't clip it to my pocket while at work but one day I did with out thinking. One of the bosses saw it and told me that weapons were not allowed on company property. I said "What weapon? It's a gawddayumed letter opener!" I then popped it open (the wave feature is very nice) and the man almost fainted on me. :eek: He never asked about it again. :p
 
...I'm still wondering how anyone on their lunch break could find hooflex? "I'll have a slurpee, a cheeseburger, and give me a pint of hooflex to go, please."

munk-- there's a big feed store about nine blocks from where I work-- I just took a walk down there during my lunch break. I didn't have much of an appetite left after smelling the Hooflex :barf:

You get used to the smell of Hooflex. After awhile it becomes bearable. By the time you own a few horn handled khuks it becomes mildly pleasant. I'm at the point where I'm considering rubbing it into my armpits in the morning.

Show it around the office, then start dropping hints about getting a raise.

This made me laugh so hard!!!!!!!!:D Thanks and what a good idea!!!!:D
 
There are a couple of young gals that live down the road a piece that are barrel racers. I asked them what they use on their horses for a hoof treatment.
They both agreed that Hoofflex was what they used to use but, they switched to a product that they get at Walgreens. Mane'n Tail Hoofmaker. They claim that it soaks in quicker than hoofflex. They gave me the remains of one of the small bottles and the smell is a whole lot different too. They use the stuff on the horses and themselves too.
The younger girl said that till she started to use Mane'n Tail she had an impossible time with her own nails breaking. She says the problem isn't near as bad now that she has been useing it for about six months.
They seem to be right about it soaking in quick. I put some on all my horn handles. When they were dry I wiped the handles down good and they even shined better.:) :)
 
I know a horsey type gal here who uses a product for horses on her hair. She swears by it, said if i'd used it I'd have never cut my own long hair off. The name mane and tail sounds familiar.

Bruise, I've used hooflex on my calloused feet and it works. I like the smell.
