Your nine is a beast. A major beast. I love the grind.

Sweet ..lol I can only take partial credit, but I will take what I can get heh.
Glad you like it, your welcome to wear it out for a while and make any adjustments you think are needed.
I have fun using it, but it just never seems to end up on my belt or pack when I am out for some reason.

I have the same problem silver. I love to take my 9 out to play, but never strap it on when i hit the bush.

 

[granitestateofmind]

you should see the new model coming i posted photos back in the Blade Show 2013 thread

basically, a mini KMG

it has WHEELS

Saw some of those pictures - looks like it should come with some knobbies and a remote control....I was waiting for it, but finally pulled the trigger on the original. It's still great, even though the new one does look a lot nicer. last thing I sharpened were some bypass pruners - those cheap things could take off two fingers at a time now.....

I'm not sure if I should moderate this comment or not.

Picked this up today.

Hi Ray!
I picked up one of those from Pat's last season when he had some extras.
It's a great geometry and steel. I re-hung it boy's axe haft and it's MUCH easier to use. It's a bit heavy for that handle, IMO.

Let it ride biscuit, its the snark thread, and the most excitement some of these old timers have seen in a long time.

Hoping for the best Todd!

Mornin Heads! Off work the rest of the week. Originally it was to attend the Gathering this weekend but those plans changed, bummed to miss it since I made the last 3 but its totally nessessary. To all that's going, be safe and have fun.
My wife, daughter and I will be back on our way to the hospital in Indy in a couple of hours to talk to the Doctor about my daughters MRI results. Wish us luck!
Afterwards, we have a family camping trip planned to get out and have a little fun and relaxation, and hopefully to celebrate good results! :thumbup:

Hope and pray that all goes well my friend.

Getting my spartan flashlight bead necklace thingy today YAAY... LMAO I love getting boxes

Any of you guys ever try out a benchmade bone collector, the fixed blade ones.... OR... a ZT strider 0121 fixed blade???

I have been looking at the bone collectors for a while, and just started eyeing the ZT 0121... Just for looks really LMAO, I love the "jimping" or file work around the handle

I want a "cool" looking little knife.... Something like those, or a DPX...Just something a little different. Funny thing right after I made a trade I was contacted by someone with a DPX fixed blade and someone else with the ZT Strider 0121 fixed blade... Just moments too late! DANG. LMAO

 

[worldwood]

LMAO.... ALL i can do is laugh... So i guess I better quit looking at knives.... my hot water heater is shot... Had a guy come look at it, since the water would not get hot last night, He just left....and he says its shot.

Great timing and all, being as though its about to get cold LMAO

Nothin but the Best to you and yours, TM.

Daizee is an axe hoarder so is Col Defender and Tradewater

It occurs to me that I only own 3 'hawks, one felling axe and one splitting maul... nary a single hatchet I will have to rectify that terrible problem as budget and opportunity allow.

On the other hand, thanks to my hoarding nature and my Dad and uncle leaving their tools to me when they passed on, I'm pretty well set for hammers and sledges.
So that helps me sleep at night

It really does sound painful as I re-read it.

'Sok, we knew what ya meant Just don't try to pick up a rake by stepping on the tines and letting the handle smack you in the nose... don't ask me how I know this

One of the things I don't like is the balance and doing that to the handle would move the balance forward some. And then skeletonizing it.

Taper the tang. Changing handle material/shape typically does very little to change weight/balance. You might be surprised at the wonderful things a properly-tapered tang can do for balance and liveliness, especially on a big knife.

Picked this up today.

Nice Husky, Ray! I'm no expert but where I come from, Husqvarna axes and chainsaws are highly respected and known for quality... and that's coming from Norskis who generally turn their nose up at Swedish stuff

It aint about miles, it's about memories.

Off to the quote thread with you!

I think this is awesome, never seen one of them either... I guess it tells you your edge angle. sweet!!

I'm a total geek for stuff like that! Precision measuring tools are sweet as the peaches that come in a can. Remind me to snap a pic of the Spyderco edge-angle-measury-thingamabob I got from a friend.

Good luck, Todd!
