Once again, Anton, I am amazed at the many new variations
Tom comes up with!
If I could choose I'd choose the "Small Wharny" as I
like to carry small folders in my pocket....

All the best,

Sweet Mayo goodness!! The small Wharny & Med. Covert are MY favorites. They are all excellent scores.

The Dr. Death remains one of my long-term unrequited loves in folding knives.

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see any timascus???

VERY nice. Congratulations on the additions to your collection.

Question about the MOA. Is there a significance to the way the holes are in the scales?

I'm sure more experience target shooters than I can elaborate but MOA refers to "minute of arc". For target shooting (and hunting) purposes a rifle (and shooter) should be able to achieve at least 1 MOA. This turns out to be a group size of about 1" when fired from a distance of 100 yards. A group of bullet holes like this might look something like the holes in the knife handle.

Wow, Anton, you have way too many Mayos... if you mail the little sheepsfoot folder to me you may be able to avoid a "severe" luxury tax...

Minute of Angle, Aaron.

The arcminute is commonly found in the firearms industry and literature, particularly that concerning the accuracy of rifles, though the industry tends to refer to it as minute of angle. It is popular because 1 MOA subtends approximately one inch at 100 yards, a traditional distance on target ranges. A shooter can easily readjust their rifle scope by measuring the distance in inches the bullet hole is from the desired impact point, and adjusting the scope that many MOA in the same direction.

We are probably about the same level of shooter, depending upon the firearm, I can keep to about 3" at 300 yards.

Minute of Angle, Aaron

Yeah, I mix them up frequently. Arc...angle...both part of the same thing.

That depends entirely on my caffeine intake prior to going to the range. I have finally broken into one MOA at 100 yards.

ANYWAY...Anton, how many tanto-bladed Mayos do you have? I find the tanto shape Tom uses very interesting.

Thanks for the explanation. I was not familiar with that term, but it looked like a bullet grouping, which is what piqued my curiosity.

Lot's to consider when shooting

That crusty bastid from Hawaii was snapping a tanto flipper in my face at SHOT on Wednesday, so I had to give him a few shots in the rib cage. Great knife(it sold right in front of me), good times.

Dang Anton, you don't like Mayos' do you?

Dr. Death does it for me!

Hi Steven, it's being sold by Duane - EDC knives (dr death flipper and tanto flipper) now but not posted over their website yet.

Yunno, that tanto really was beautiful, but I cannot get warmed up for the Dr. Death with a flipper hanging off of it.

It's like a beautiful symmetrical face with a big carbuncle on one side.

Have to agree. Looking at my collection I see exactly.....zero flippers. Living in the state of AZ there's no reason to have a flipper when I can just carry an auto. And it's a rare flipper that doesn't have a less-than-attractive protrusion.

I'll spare you the overly graphic simile a la STeven.
