Random Thought Thread

I had a thought today. If one was going to trade a boot dagger for another CPK, what would be a roughly equal trade? I don’t think the shiv would be. Maybe a fancy HDFK or a dagger-ground utility fighter?

Edit: I’m not looking for trades. Purely a 4am “why am I awake?” thought exercise as I was trying to get baby back to sleep.

I’d think a shiv and a boot dagger would be fairly close. There may in fact be more shivs than boot daggers.

easy answer; keep the dagger. It has no equal

I'll do a flipper on bearings at some point down the road, but I'm going to base my first production folder off of the Sebenza that I love so much. However the pivot, which is the weak point, will be integral to the frame. The folder won't be heavy or look over built or be bulky but it will be both very strong and durable (not the same thing) and tolerate the rough use and lack of love that I tend to dish out. Eliminating a lot of the joints and utilizing precision fits between components that aren't usually keyed will give me a very robust design.

I got a fancy super high precision coaxial indicator and noticed that one of my Mori can actually mill a diameter rounder than my lathe can turn it. This opens up some possibilities in design and construction that is not currently being exploited.

I feel like the shiv is so iconic to CPK that a trade for a boot dagger might be hard to get. I don’t actually know though. Maybe over time as the boot dagger gets that unobtanium status?

On a side note, do satin HDFKs exist? I wasn’t a member of BF during their sale.

just got off the phone with my buddy, Stuart. He just replaced the blade on his knockoff Sebenza- he was complaining about how bad edge holding was. I told him he was lucky he didn't spring for the real thing, since it probably wouldn't fare much better...

Nathan the Machinist Nathan the Machinist She did not say that upon being cut. I think it was more "ouch" or "owie" (it wasn't, it was "you stupid idiot, who puts a sword on a grey shaggy carpet? Get me a towel I'm bleeding!")

She works at the children's hospital in our city. She was calm (not happy) and directed me rather eloquently on how to assist her. It was.....deep. I imagine this is what was in store for the little piggy that went to market.
