I will thank you in advanced.
I came up with some ideas my friend Kyle does not like them he thinks he is the expert always telling stories about his trips to Canada for hunting and fishing.
It occured to me to make it out of aluminum. All these years i never thought of that i was putting my palm in my face when i realized it.
Aluminum is so light and it does not have to be strong like steel because you can just use real thick aluminum plate that is exactly what i found at the junkyard 1/4" aluminum plate. EASY TO SHARPEN TOO
Kyle the so called expert made a drawing and showed it to me i dont think i will use it but i thanked him anyway it just does not make sense as a camping knife my desibne makes more sense you notice in the drawing thats my drawing there is a sharp pointy tip for digging the meat out of hickory nuts. don't laugh at my hand writing.
Kyle is like all crazy about a special steel called 8670 because he used a knife made out of it and he is like "i use to work on the aircraft carrier doing the welding and I can tell for a fact aluminum doesnt have any memory it will break" and he takes a twizzle stick and bends it and he says "You see how this twizzle stick goes back to the original shape every time I bend it?," and Im like ha ha ha A KNIFE IS NOT A TWIZZLE STICK@!!!
He says he would like to have a klephart and i'm like Hey klephart sounds like a pipe organ company!! they installed a new klephart organ down at the lutheran church!! haha ha!! Mister KNIfe Expert!!!
Next time I see him, he has another pretty drawing like this
Pretty drawing but my design is better. Kyle and me had the same art class in the 8th grade and he thought he was a art genius and the teacher was like "ooh aaah Kyle you learn so fast. ECT " BUTRE I DIGRESS!!!
Camping you use a knife mostly for slicing potatos and such so you need a lot of curve wich is exactly what my knife will have also no handle materials is nesesary as the stock is 1/4 inch thick plenty thick to hold it any way i can just reverse my grip i have not made this knife YET but i already know it will be light and nimble and perfect.
Who is right me or Kyle you dicide it don't have to be either or i welcome suggestions and I just now rememberd I should capitolize I but I dont have time to go back and fix it I WAS going to post this on April 1st but I will not have access to computer on that day i will be on the oil rig starting tonight go ahead and post your feed back now so I can read it soon as I get back.
