Its just some dude on the history channel... I paused the TV and he was in this pose... and all I could think of was someone who constantly interjects... The kind of person that no matter what you say they go "ACTUALLY..." and then insert some sort of useless tidbit to make themselves seem smarter...
Once it was uploaded to photobucket all I could think of was SNARK! lol
There... useless story complete.

I dont know if sarcasm, but I wasnt directing any of my comment towards you. In no way shape or form was I saying that was you. Just giving some history behind the photo, I just used it as a snark photo because I thought he look on his face was funny and could imagine his nasally saying SNARK. If I did offend or make it seem as such, it was not my intention and I apologize.

It's not real dramatic, but I ground it down to the line I drew. I'm also going to put a slight swedge on it, and that's the part that I'm concerned about getting to look right.
My 2 has had a clip sharpied on it for about a month now. I just don't feel like grinding it out

I like the way this ESEE 6 feels. I think it's one of their better blade designs.

Take it all in stride JD or you will drive yourself insane. Welcome to the world of knifemaking. Hell, maybe he's threatened by you because some of his customers are coming your way. If that's the case, take that as a compliment. I know I never really intended on this "knife thing" of mine to take off like it did but what took me a while to figure out is despite your best efforts you will never make everyone happy. At least that guy isn't into you for money. If you haven't all ready. Wait till you get some fool that orders a high price piece, then backs out on the order, THEN trash talks you to people on this forum because you wont do them any favors AFTER you sent them some free sh!t to try to be respectful and bury the hatchet. You think your pissed now! Lol. Just be thankfull that you got some good reputable peoples support. Because if it wasn't for that with me, Id have a hard time some days not throwing a lite match in my shop and walking away.

Way to elevate the Snark.
Back at CamH_16: Everybody has those shit days. The important thing is to get through them without winding up in a cell (with bars or with padded walls) and without losing any friends. Breathe and thank your lucky stars.

WW, I will agree that a recurve, especially a steep one, has a much larger learning curve, and its a LOT easier to hit wrong and also to glance from twisting your wrist when the belly strikes off angle.
I have a Love Hate relationship with recurves and kukri, they hit way above their weight, but they can be a real pain sometimes. One of my favorite large blade patterns is actually the HI Farm knife. I dont know if I want one of theirs, but I do want one shaped that way, and in that size range.

Well done Nate. I have been wanting to do another off the wall Becker mod. Maybe even a GAW. this is inspiring.

I always wondered if I would like the larger ESEE's, because of the flat handles, but I do love the looks of the 6.
