We had so much fun last week, we decided to do another one last minute.
I thought norcalblacktail was kidding but I guess not, haha. Norcalblacktail, Ban, Tiny86, Hogwash, and myself were present (Amy in spirit as usual).

Ban did a great job on Tiny86's DMCG.

Stock vs. Banned

Hungry for wood...

Setting up for the fun.

Snapple bottles are tough!

But nothing the AK can't handle.

Whoops! We call this Tiny Syndrome.

Enough with the kiddie stuff, we moved to 4x4.

Told you it was hungry.

INFI meet concrete.

IMG_6812.jpg

Time to eat some rope.

IMG_6866.jpg

I didn't even know Ban had one of these!

IMG_6868.jpg

Harder then it looks.

IMG_6872.jpg

A lot harder!

IMG_6873.jpg

Hogwash called Ban a girl and took over.

IMG_6876.jpg

After a good days work.

It was so much fun beating on these knives. Nothing eats bottles, wood, and rope better then a Banned Busse. If we keep this up, we will deforest the area.

More pictures and videos later from norcalblacktail.
 
That looks like Tiny's Homerun swing! Do you play softball Tiny?
Looks like you do with that swing. Next time take the trying to take the pitchers head off swing;)

I also see Ban won't be cutting into his table anymore, good idea with the board on table.

It's great you guys live close enough to get together like this!

Thanks for the great pics, Had to be hella good time:D:thumbup:
 
Its just a shame those drink bottle weren't glass you could have done that trick of playing the rims of glasses. I'm sure you know what I mean.

Nice work though, great to see Busses in action.
 
It was a great time. Good pictures Mr. Pink.
The rope we had this time was alot harder then the hemp rope we had last time.

I bow down to Ban for the edge he put on my Dumpster Mutt. *bow* It's freakin sharp!:eek: Hair popping sharp, stupid sharp!
 
The stripping on the second knife in the first photo looks great! how was that done?

Does Ban re-profile the blades, or just put an extra sharp edge on the normal edge?
 
My arm is sore today.

Hahah.

I am ready to chop some more :p This was the first time I chopped so much that my pinkie finger got a little sore. That fine strand polyester rope is tough stuff man. Trying to cut through 2 of them is like cutting 4 or 5 of that manila rope.
 
Ya it is. But atleast we have a little extra so we can work on it.;)

Mr. Pink, hows the arm? GIRLYMAN!:p:D
 
Great pics! It looks like you guys had a great time:thumbup:
 
As you can see in the pictures, I made my Muddy Mojo a user. It doesn't chop as well as I had hoped but it doesn't have a Ban edge either.

What we learned last night:

Little Asian guys can chop, kind of.

My sports injury severely hampers my chopping ability.

We have got Tiny fully hooked on Busses, he's going to sell a few Benchmade folders to fund the purchase of a FFBM and then save up for an AK.
