Not you that I'm aware of--perhaps I should have gone on to emphasize that neither should toughness nor edge holding. Matching the properties of the steel to the user and application was my intended point. It was not directed at you, but I'm sorry if it came across that way.

Eh, it was probably me. I just came back from berating a Cliff-hater on the "Whine & Cheese" forum and I think I got stuck in attack-hamster mode. Sorry.

t1mpani said:
Quite true, but I don't think we--on an internet forum dedicated entirely to knife discussion and a thread talking about knives costing hundreds of dollars--were referring to those indifferent troops, were we? ;)

That would depend. If a fella were having prototypes made in order to demonstrate the plausibility of a design concept to various military units, with an eye toward marketing the eventual product to them, he might.

I think if we asked the average indifferent troop why he would consider a survival knife in L6 versus D2, he'd yawn.

Sure. That kind of detail matters to the fella in my example, not to the Sad Sack for whom he is designing the thing.
 
Cool! I think a pass-around would probably go a long way towards taking the conjecture out of this. :)

Ishiyumisan,
I dont know you, and I have never said any thing negitive about you in the past. I do not like your personal attack on me. :mad:

So lets make it clear.

You can stick your comments where the sun doesn't shine

Honey bunny, I take that as a high compliment from you:D
If you answer with that simplicity, means that what I said was correct and accurate.

The maker can also take the client to court if they don't pay. It is simply a matter of promises. I don't see a maker giving his word to deliver a product any different than my word I will pay by a certain date. It isn't like the buyer doesn't have to work for his money any less than the maker has to work for the product.

demoteamone, Roger Linger is well respected here and his WSK is top notch:thumbup: Not to mention the rest of his work! The wait is long, so call and e-mail him when you feel you need to. But if/when you place an order with RLinger you WILL get what you paid for:D A great true to the "Original Beck" RLinger WSK:thumbup:

question

I am buying a Tracker type Knife and I want to know if this type of blade design is really usefull or is it just high speed looks. Some survival instructors and knife makers seem to think that this knife is not really good for anything. Has anyone used say a Tracker or Beck WSK in the field and made other tools with it? Can this knife chop good? Is it worth having or is it only going to be a show piece that I can look at?

As with any knife, its worth is dependant upon how you intend on putting it to use & even your own personal values.
If you are looking for "survival" knife which you think will be able to perform all tasks with equal efficiency, that just doesn't exist but then again what will those tasks be? Do you feel this knife needs to be able to be a good thrower, chopping tool, skinner, prying your way out of an airplane? I can pull one hundred people off the street & the hiking trails & I know from experience that everyones' idea of the ideal knife will be different along with what they believe its uses should be good for.

I think the first question you must ask yourself is, what do YOU need the knife to do & in what environment(s). If you say wilderness survival for example, then the best thing to do is not to take ANYONES word, even mine on what is the best choice but first get some "real world" training & put in the dirt time to understand the circumstances you need the knife for & why. This will not only answer your questions but also provide you with a solid foundation on essential skills you may need in that environment & enable you to get the most out your investment. At that point you can then research the proper knife designs along with the various materials & methods the makers use to produce them to get exactly what is needed. Anything short of that & you naturally risk buying a wall hanger. No matter how well the knife's made, if it doesn't suit your purpose, it won't do you much good. I hope this helps.

As far as my WSK goes, it is an excellant knife for the tasks it has been specifically designed for. For making other needed tools in the woods, it's performance has been time proven all over the world but if you need a log cabin you better buy an axe.

You need to understand that a custom maker has a wait time. A large knife from myself is a longer wait than RLinger. Keep in mind that I have a 40 hr a week job also but can we focus on leaving RLiner out of this. Some makers have a wait time of 7 Years...........If you dont want to wait, dont buy the customs.

Thats all I have to say about that subject, I just hate hearing the same old mudslinging.

Brian, I don't think so, after this experience.

I think that you will take care business or your customers?
By the way I speak more than 2 languages, I called the guy who did that claim.
This is what he said to me.
RLiner didn't steal that money and that's true; it is also true that he forgot about his customer.

I think you will??
 
your a funny fellow..........my grandfather would call you a yeller belly :D
Too funny.

I'll be looking forward to the passaround knife events. This thread has lost my interest...life is too short :)
 
Why don't you guys meet at some show and just get to work and stop wearing out your fingers on this.
lol
Too much talk and no do. Kick his ass already.
YYAWWWNNNNN
 
ishiyumisan, I'm a little older than 16 my friend. I'm also old enough to know that I can take care of my personal issues with any maker, with that maker and not on a public forum until I have been totaly ripped off!!! I'm also old enough to know not to attack respected members of BF, which you are not.
So you just go dig your hole. I really don't think that I have to defend my age at all. But maybe you should think about it now:foot:jerkit:

Brian, life is too short:thumbup:
Jeff:D
 
As much as I hate to be the one to regurgitate this POS thread now that it's on the second page....


Just wanted to openly say I may wind up eating my words about RS6. After looking that the passaround forum, I see that he's back now, and he's.....a bit less defensive, a bit more easy going...and a bit more open about the knives he's marketing.

Hope he gets his shot at the market!
 
I feel like it is my fault all this misunderstanding happened here, Mr Cougar Allen, accept my apology.
Anyway I sent email to ishiyumisan, "Let me say" that was a illustrative experience.
No further comment on that!
ishiyumisan thank you.



RS6 I looking forward to getting one WSK from you,
the knives you make look nice to me.
Sorry for the mess.

Thank you All.

Mark that is a quick decision:D
Ok let me know the performance:thumbup:
Ciao
 
Me too.
Guys I know you are skeptical but everyone who has got one has been pleasantly surprised.
Mark you will be too.
Join the Pass Around and find out for yourselves.
 
Guys,

I just an email RS6 has 2 versions of sheaths one KYDEX very affordable and the other is Custom Leather Sheath made by Rawhide Leather Loneguitpicker@aol.com
He sent me some pics and they are suited for this knife.
He said he is going to send out email to everyone who has purchased knife tomorrow. They look fantastic. Rawhide is selling the sheaths through eBay but make sure if you purchase them that you tell him Predator the TRACKER sheath will not fit the Predator knife.
I love the knife I built a sheath out of cardboard and duct tape until these came out. Good thing this temp fix is about to get cut through.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to read reviews stating that this is a good knife. It looks well enough made to me.
