Damn, I'm behind. Psyop, I'm truly sorry to hear about your buddy. We're losing too many, I know exactly what you're dealing with. You've got my number if you need to talk.

Switching gears, respectively. Trade, mail me that knife then make more! Fine job sir.

Not sure what else I've missed, I've been skimming. Busy, busy here. Step daughter's got soccer practice twice a week with a game thrown in as well. My daughter has had a couple games so far, she's 3 it's fun as hell to watch the chaos. The holidays are always a rat race to get from one family to another and not leave anyone feeling left out. All of this and trying to drink beer in the T.M. Hunt shop, granted I'm falling behind when it's not good timing.

I got the tires on my bike finally, thanks to my wife giving me an excellent early birthday present. I'll be getting registration tomorrow. The bmv was a mess due to the holiday rush Saturday. I made it down to the One Stop Knife Shop Friday to meet Spark. He was a pretty cool mofo. His shop will be a must visit whenever I'm passing through.
 
Lol that Jenga game is awesome. Those guys are some pretty skilled operators.

Looks like you aired some repressed feelings because you bent your knife and didn't get a replacement. I thought mistwalker's response was the best one.

As for the other, pantherguy long had it coming.

Thats good to hear. I may have to give them a try if i cant get a screw on one to work. I just feel more confident with the clip bolted on.

Maybe screw a strap in the middle of the strap, like CBear said, and then put a snap on the ends so it will snap between your belt and pants.. to help keep it from unsnapping..

I went over there and read your thread finally. I have to agree with Psyop, Bladite and Biscuit. Don't know what you had in mind there, but I didn't care for it. Not sure it endeared you to any Beckerheads either.
 
The only Esee im interested in is the JG3, when it comes out..... BUT... If i could get a BK16 like the "chef" model Dex made... I wouldnt be as interested in the JG3 anymore.

My only issue with carrying the 16 as a main EDC is the fact i like my finger up close to the edge of the knife when cutting. Thats why i carry a knife with a choil most the time. But the way Dex did that 16 makes it just perfect.

Here is the crappiest drawing i could do...

Ah hah!! Now it all makes sense :D

That might work perfect. I could still take it off by the snaps without undoing my belt.

Thanks for the drawing bud!!
 
You could do the Nite-Ize clip WITH the strap that way you have both orientations covered. The clip in the front with the strap wrapped through it and the snap in the back. It's just a thought and it would cost you like $5 to do all of it.

If it's any consolation, I understood your description without the drawing. But I are an engineer.... And I've had several pistol holsters that attached this way.

Then you must be one of the smart ones..... engineer that is. because the ones we have here at my work are so stupid they couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the directions was on the heal... Please understand, that I mean no disrespect to you. I'm really saying good for you being a good engineer, there should be more of you out there and I commend you for it......... I'm simpily venting because of my frustrations in my experiences here. I've literally have trained 2 engineers of ours on how to read a set of mics. If thats not bad enough, we just had another one hired on that argued with me that the oil pan on a 30L diesel engine was not the oil pan at all but it was the fuel tank........... I'm not making this up man. its sickining. One engineer here will hire another one and be sure to hire one dumber than them so they look good. (wheres the motocon that is shaking its head in disgust) :mad:
 
To quote Harry Callahan ("Dirty" Harry), "A man's got to know his limitations." I'm actually an electrical engineer, and most of my knowledge is in systems and telecommunications engineering. I got most of my mechanical aptitude from my father doing work around the house and property growing up, plus a pretty good inherited sense of spatial awareness. I'm pretty lousy with internal combustion engines though.... I have an electric chainsaw for use around the yard and pasture.

I have hung around a few of the mechanical engineers at work that used to do designs for weapon simulators and enclosures for test instrumentation. I have to say that designing an enclosure that is weather tight and doesn't leak electromagnetic energy while bolted to a tank or other tactical vehicle bouncing around cross country takes some doing. Those were the smart guys, but maybe a little rubbed off.

Sounds like the group you have to work with suffers a bit from "self-replicating DNA." The management hires engineers who think like them, and won't make waves or question authority ("yes men"). This can only go on for so long before it collapses on itself. I take pride in the time while I was still on active duty in the Army that I and my office mate were cordially "un-invited" to the Operations Division weekly meetings in Korea because we asked too many hard questions about the long term plans that the Ops folks didn't want to answer. If only I could get kicked out of more meetings now.... :D

Edit: I forgot to mention...one of my Mech Eng friends (who's retired and building AR-15's now) and I were talking about road construction and civil engineers. He said all civil engineers need to know is that "sheet" flows down hill... No offense to any civil engineers in the crowd...haha
 
Mowed for the first time today. Grass was tall in places.

Thats very interesting and thank you for responding. Last thing I wanted was for you to think I was personally attacking you, because that wasnt my intent. Its just very frustrating in my line of work having to deal with a constant onslaught of people that think everything they say is gospel just because they have a degree. I have a degree, AND 17 years experience and am called a dumbass daily because I speak up against the "in" crowd. Crappy thing is there work gets dumped on me cause there to stupid to do it. But I'm he dumbass. At least I can sleep knowing the my lips arent attached to anybodies ass. But thats makes it hard to make a living sometimes............. Guess I just wasnt ment to conform. :( oh well. My momma still likes me....................I think.

Hey, WW. Sorry about the slow posting of this info, but when I got to the shop this morning I found that I couldn't find one of the smaller spring clips to measure the holes. Had to wait until I got to town and stopped at the Tandy store to get some and measure.

The 1239/1240 versions have 3/16" (more or less) diameter holes, based on my roll-up tape measure (sorry no hole gauge).

All the others (smaller ones) have holes that "appear" to be about 1 RCH less than 1/8" in diameter.
