Mine's better Mine is rather elegent,& refined!He also sent another blade(trying to convience him to take this back,no way,I deserve this)!!He also sent a little something from the Sandbox!!Hmmm,as much as I detest 12"mine seems bigger,I think it might

Mr. Clifton, sir: I recognize that after a life-time of exaggerating measurements, and having the glass in your mirrors inscribed with the legend "Caution, Objects in mirror may be larger than they appear," you may have become somewhat delusional.

But sir, SAYING it's bigger, doesn't make it bigger. Surely others must have made this observation...(perhaps muffled by giggling?)

Hope recovery commences soon.
 
I thought we, ummm, agreed to overlook this sort of thing.

I guess it's better than it falling off completely. The handle, I mean. The KHUK handle.
 
Guys, the Duck ain't fibbing, that Villager AK Isent him is not 12 inches. Kumar was generous when he made the little Villagers and mine is noticeably larger than my standard 12" AK made by Shanker. Jim's khuk taped out at 13 1/8 " from point to end of tang.

Now look here Duck, you better not try to send that other knife back. I've already got another one just like it, except mine's been etched by Keith with magical runes.The one you've got was my "test mule" and I tested it hard, so I know it won't fail you. What do you think? One heck of a good knife by golly. Sher tempered the edges on those nice and hard, so it'll hone up sharp enough to shave a baby's butt. Better hang on to that one, I'll be plenty aggravated if you send it back.

Even if the villager you sent is a 13 & 1/8-er.

Obviously got stretched in transit.
Probably the humidity.
Send it to me & I'll make sure it loses a bit off the nose at the Tulsa Khukuri Spa.
We'll have it down to size in no time.
 
Ok you all, embarressing Sarge time!! Gonna make him squirm!! Think he is a good guy!! Allow me to tell you all how good! 13"AK was "razor sharp"(I use a straight razor ,every morning so trust me)!
Handle was also cared for! Next ,he "sent me" a Sax,blade is super sharp,slipped out osf the sheath & I grabbed it in mid air,by the blade,let go ASAP(thank GOD for 20 yrs.MA reflexes)! Think of this baby as an early Bowie type!Last he put in a AK Blade from the Taliban(I would love to meet a few:D)! He didn't have to do this, nor did he have to send the Sax & AK Blade!Pappy, bet you had to almost twist his arm NOT to pay for the brewskis!!Get this he gives me all of this(don't believe him about having another SAX either,he gave me his,WE are still in discussion about OWNERSHIP)!!Soo "Wharcha all think,is the DUCK wrong?? Show me ANYONE close to being a nicer guy(lordy it hurts me to be nice to SARGE)!! :grumpy:
the saint!:cool:

Sounds like one of those random acts of kindness.
 
Mr. Clifton, sir, Sarge probably figured it had been so long since you've had seax, that you had to get some in the mail.:eek: :p :eek:

be careful with them sharp things.
 
I could say something but won't.

I know what you mean Uncle, that dadgummed Duck is making too much fuss over some rusty old knives. Let's just say I give as good as I get.;)

13"AK was "razor sharp"(I use a straight razor ,every morning so trust me)!

Force of habit, been sharpening my knives that way since I was about 9 or 10 years old. I also shave with a straight razor, it's economical (once you get your initial rig together, there's nothing that needs replenishing but the shaving soap), it's environmentally friendly (you ain't adding a bunch of disposable plastic and metal to the landfills), and it gives me a cleaner, more comfortable shave than anything else I've tried ("safety razors" just feel plumb unnatural). Serviceable old straight razors can be picked up in many antique shops for around twenty five bucks. The edge will take a bit of work to bring it back up to snuff, but that's no problem (if there's interest, I can do a quick tutorial on refurbishing old razors). A good strop is a must, but happily they can be easily made with a bare minimum of leatherworking skills. Learning to shave with a straight razor quickly, efficiently, and safely, is not black magic. It's a learned skill that gets better with practice, and through repitition becomes almost second nature. I highly recommend it to any man. Women, that's another story. That stuff they got growing on their legs must be made of barbed wire. You guys that have had your razor borrowed by your significant other know what I'm talking about, ouch!:eek:

Sarge
 
Sarge!! You ain't been dismissed yet! Oh, I have an idea of sending YOU something,to sort of put me one up!!:D You ,of all people know I don't play fair!!Bwaaaa!
Bill, Thanks,you too Sarge!!
THE SAINT!:cool:
