Here are some quick pics my honey took with her cell phone so there not great
this is a scout sheath very comfortable to carry not great to sit in a car

Fine to sit on chair or 4 wheeler, bike etc.

The quick release Sam brown straps make for quick on and off when getting in car or resheathing

Hides very well with suit jacket , flannel or any other cover garment also under large untucked t shirt

On another note as many of you know I live in Pa but the Jersey ,Delaware and Maryland beaches are not a bad run for me

My kids wanted to go out on the salt water boat so I ran north up the coast after some bay fishing and ended up in NY got to show them the Statue Of Liberty and a view of NY few get to see

It was great to show them Ellis Island where there grandfather came over

Kinda of topic but really cool

Again we forgot a camera this is old ladies I Phone

I don't know the MAN well enough for those types of comments - besides - did you see the guns on that mutha!
(Not to mention all the weapons AND dead animals that have been in previous posts - Joey is one NOT to mess with!)
 
I was gonna say something about Joe's scout sheath being a perfect excuse for him to show off his well developed hind quarters, but that would have been a little too Richard Simmons for this crowd, so I left it alone.

Hey, did I just say that out loud?
:D
 
Well thanks guys....... I guess :)

No worries guys I'm not homophobic remember I bunk with STeven at the shows :)

Classic!

Nicky, I'm going to perpetuate the downward spiral of this thread... 250 pounds? Yeeks! Are you still working out, or has life been too busy? That doesn't sound like a natural weight for you. Christ, I only weigh two-thirds of you!:D:D:D
 
While lying in bed last night listening to the storm I took a pic of the handle on this knife which by the way feels awesome just to show you guys that went with the black G 10 all the cool activity that is going on

Great light play in the G10--more subtle than carbon fiber, but obviously lots of shimmer in the deep contouring under bright light.

When you are so taken with a blade that you lie in bed admiring it that way, you know it's a special knife--done that very thing myself a few times. In the 1930’s, archaeologist Louis Leakey discovered a site in Olduvai Gorge in the Great Rift Valley of Africa where early humans were making edged stone tools and weapons more than two and a half million years ago. I can imagine those guys enjoying a quiet moment at night next to a camp fire, turning a particularly well-crafted piece to catch the glint and shimmer of firelight, thousands of millennia ago.

Glad you're dry and that the worst of the storm has passed you by, brother. :thumbup: Stay safe!

Cool photo Joe! :)

I got a bit thrown off from getting the first 3 finished because Angi's son Jordan had another orientation for college yesterday. The kid is brilliant and got a full ride to a private college... I went with Angi to his first orientation and it was only right to go with her to this one as well. :)

Oh, and I got a great deal on a 2,000# + steel welding table, so I have to figure out how to get that home. :eek: :eek: :eek:

But no worries... still chipping away at these! :D

Thought you guys might like to see this... I use my 9" variable speed disc sander a LOT (especially after my buddy Mike Quesenberry was here) but with the sharpened clip on these, I found that a couple wraps of Gorrilla tape keeps me from slicing/dicing my index fingers while finish grinding the main bevel! :eek: :thumbup: :D

Is that an Unger Butter knife in the first picture? :eek:

Nice - Will buys the first 12 knives out of a 10 piece run - now he's calling DIBS too. Classic!
 
Michael, O-M-G, that literally made me laugh out loud... ;) :D The Unger butter knife is an ATS-34 blade I ground about 15 years ago. Dug it out of the drawer a few years ago and reshaped it, then flat-ground it to a zero edge and use it to cut sandpaper down on the 9" disc. I know Dan got inspiration from that knife. ;)

Sorry Will, THAT one has Joey's name on it. But coincidentally enough, one marked York and one marked Starr both graciously brushed across a 60 grit belt moving at 5,500 surface feet per minute the other day. ;) :)

Since nothing ever really happened without pics... here's proof of my week-end detour.

First 3 pics are just some of the crazy awesome cars they had at the shop I bought my welding/lay-out table from.

Some would argue it's downright Un-American to not love a GTO like this one!!! :eek: :thumbup: :cool: :)

Last 3 pics are the new2me table. Okay I lied, it's a measily 1900 pounds. :o ;)

The sweaty guy who has been busting his ass helping me load and unload the table, AND drove the truck/trailer for me... is the man I am extremely fortunate to call DAD :)

Why do I need such a beastly, heavy table??? B'cuz big, heavy stuff is MANLY! ;) :D
 
That's boy Nick I love the table

I am so happy things are going well for ya

The blades look great and as I said earlier the proto will be in Vegas this coming weekend and will be in a few hands to admire I am sure

The more I play with this knife the happier I am with how it came out the handle is truly one of the best shaped handles I have felt

True greatness

Yes, I plan on leaving a bit of my DNA(in the form of drool) on it in Vegas. :)
