Got a new Torch Light C78 in the mail Friday. The throw on this little thing is amazing: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1005492-Torch-Light-C78?p=11444893#post11444893

Oh goodie, I'm glad he brought it, glad you liked it. :)
That's a 115% Mountain Knife in 3/16" O1.

Everyone seemed to be freaking out earlier today but right now its just some heavy rain. It's not even that windy. I believe the worst of it has passed so I am betting on me having the test. Unless some stuff starts flooding which is a real possibility with all this rain.
 
I have decided my next Becker will be the......... BK-2. I can't wait to get it. Work has been slow and with the baby money is tight. I really hope I can make it to the next gathering so I can finally meet everyone. Looks like I missed out on a lot of fun
 
I made a bit of an uncharacteristically impulsive buy yesterday. I was watching some youtube videos on smaller axes and decided to get one of these

It's a council tool boys axe. 27'', 2lb head, made in USA, between 35 and 40 bucks with taxes and shipping. I have only owned small hatchets, never an actual axe. Hopefully I didn't waste my money. anyone have experience with them?

Not my picture. Mine hasn't even shipped yet.
 
Passed my basic pistol/ccw class over the weekend. I was surprised by how easy it was. It really wasn't much of a class. They just told me stuff I knew already and then discovered that I'm actually pretty decent with a pistol at 15-21 feet. Unfortunately, I was shooting at a silhouette target that had been shot to pieces already, so I can't really tell how good my groups are. Will need to go to the range and punch some holes in some paper, I guess.

Oh hey, great choice!!!
I'm hanging a couple heavy hatchet heads on boys axe handles right now.
The 2lb on a 28" handle is a sweet spot.
Council is supposed to be making solid stuff. So too with their Velvicut fancy line.
Compare how much tool you get against what you could get in a USA-made fixed-blade knife for $40... You'll need to put your own edge on that thing, tho. Buy a single-cut flat file and make sure you have a stone.
 
Thanks Cam. Yeah, I just went orange. I'm hoping to sell some leather sheaths. I have had a few guys ask to buy my sheaths so I decided to give it a shot.

Really nice ride Maus, really nice. Do you have a center console for AR and handgun conceal carry? Something I saw on facebook, let me see if I can find it again.

Edit: Found it. If anyone see's this post then I think there could be a few 'Heads and others buying/building boxes for their trucks/SUVs.

Interesting idea. I think I would like a smaller one for just a handgun.
 
So far I've scored a little over a day off work for the storm, works for me!

@Daizee: I also was really impressed with the mountain knife Moose brought. I had a hunch that I would be.
 
So, I really need better internet. Not only is watching videos a problem, but I can't get any Cr (credits) in Halo Reach without playing matchmaking. Sure I get a few from campaign, but 3k for an hour and a half of playing against AI that actually think, or 1.5-2k for 20 minutes playing against 12 yr olds that don't?

Besides, the 12 yr olds love to make fools of themselves by killing me (normally their team mate) to get the sniper rifle and rocket launcher (I only take the sniper, noob tubes are for, well, noobs), only to stand there, waste the ammo, and get 2 or 3 other 12 yr olds from the same team killed, all while fighting over an empty sniper rifle.

Honestly, I think I've finally decided that this game has the best AI of all previous games (in my gaming experience), challenging, but only impossible if you don't play right and run into 2 spec-ops Elites and 2 hunters, all while you have just a shotgun and very little ranged ammo, on Legen-(wait for it)-dary. (No, I haven't seen How I Met Your Mother in a while so I probably did forget how to do the "wait for it"s properly.)

And Doogoon still hasn't accepted my friend request.... You should have a friend request that's at least a week old from Master XDE by the way.

Sorry for the rant, I couldn't sleep and now I'm jittery on fumes.....


And for those of you that didn't get a chance to see my other post about it: She's back on the grid and doing more damage than before. I also think I may have sealed my fate in "the friend zone" if anyone believes in that aspect of social life. I did however try cooking. While it was tasty, it sure as hell didn't help as much as I was hoping...

Again, sorry about the rant, but now y'all know why I couldn't sleep.


Prayers will be sent up for anyone in the path of Sandy, or 300 miles out of the path of Sandy for that matter.

Fun fact: In the 60s, there was a drill in case of a repeat of the 1938 hurricane (forgot what it was called, but it was the same density and all that as Sandy is), and the drill was called Sandy... I think we're being told something.... But then again, fumes and hurting hearts don't make the best conditions to ponder such things in.. Everything starts to become very negative...

Y'all have a safe morning.

Thanks for the advice. I have both the file and some old stones that should work. I am glad I didn't waste my money haha.

Well Buff state didn't close so it looks like I am off to lab all day. Man it would have been nice to sleep in.
 
Nice ride Mauser. I'm diggin the grill and bumper, they look pretty cool.

Last week my gf bought some pumpkins so I we could carve them and enter the pumpkin carving contest and when she got home they were rotten. Since then I have looked everywhere in town to try find some damn pumpkins and there are none to be found. I saw an ad on craigslist for free pumpkins that someone has a whole field of, but its a 100ish mile drive each way, so thats out. I might have to wander over to wally world tonight when I'm out of town and carve the darn things in the truck.
