Looks like a .45 slug. Now I can say I sliced through a bullet with my rattle hawk :D

Didn't phase it at all, like a hot knife through butter or SR101 through soft lead. I didn't even notice I hit it until I saw something gleaming in there. I hit it three times total it looks like.

A lot of you know I took my acura for a short flight off the mountain I live on in April of last year and nearly died. This knife was in the car with me and was ejected. I paid my neighbor's brother to take me back to the crash site the day after I got out of the hospital, climb down and find the knife for me. He did and ever since I've wanted to send it off to Will at Up Armored knives to give it a little special flair, a sort of an ode to mine and the knife's tolerance to destruction.

He doesn't usually work in red much, but red is the main color of my clan's kilt, so it makes it extremely personal for me :)

He also made a synthetic suede-lined kydex sheath for it with his signature artwork

I would literally have to not have a dollar left to my name to have to sell this knife. Scottish guys are known for loving their knives and with all the personal connection I have to it, I would like to pass it down one day and have it be a family heirloom, a symbol of the Roy clan's perseverance. The only thing is it isn't a Busse/kin :( Oh well, the cosmos picked this one, not me

I like the ZT-0100, nicely balanced and fits my hand perfectly. They really thought the ergo's of this knife through.
 
Funny what you can find when chopping. A few years ago we chopped up an old tree on my grandfathers farm and found a perfectly intact section of wire fence in the middle of it. The tree had to have been atleast 70 years old. Grandpa said that it was there when he bought the farm but he can not remember there ever being a fence there so it had to have been an old, old fence.
