I had a moment of weakness mixed with lust yesterday and jumped on this knife by Aaron Wilburn MS because the blade profile and sculpted koa handle were just too much to watch pass by! 8-3/8” blade of 52100 steel is the flavor here.

Mark got us a few cans of these voodoo rangers. Holy smokes.

Just giving this bad guy some exposure. Glad I saw it.

Thoughts on the opening mechanism? Flipper, hole, stud, or god forbid, nail nick?

I'm doing an old school stud design kind of like a Sebby

I have a stag slipjoint from him as well which is really nice. I don’t have a use for a large bowie/chopper style knife (that needs to change) but I‘m happy as hell to be getting it!

since when does the word 'use' have any relevance when it comes to knife collecting?

Amazingly enough, that’s similar to what my wife said when I showed he one the other day and said I probably didn’t need it. She asked if I really needed any of them and that lack of need never stopped me before. She’s a keeper.

I have about 20 gallons of kerosene left over from the heating season. I remember thinking how ridiculous it was, $4 a gallon, but now that's cheaper than diesel. I wonder what happens if I put it in my truck?

If it’s going into a truck or machine pre emission stuff like DEF fluid and cat. Yes , we mix it up here for a winter fuel blend. Especially old machinery that sits in winter. Just start off easy on the blend at first. 80/20 or 90/10 is usually the blend we would use depending how cold it was.

You can also use the stuff seafoam as a fuel cleaner. When we change out fuel filters we pre-fill the filter with it. But there’s plenty of products out there for this now. Same for winter fuel additive instead of kerosene

I'll do some slick titanium flippers on bearings at some point but I'm starting simple in my folder endeavor. I've been carrying a Sebenza for years, I'm going to stick with what I know at first.

You have twelve days remaining to get it done.

Don't much care for the bearings, Nathan, washers are just fine / often preferred. Just the thumbstud only is an issue for me. An additional flipper or hole would be much appreciated. Here is why:

1) You already have a CRK lock, why also have a CRK opening ? Do you want it to be a Sebbi re-blade ?
2) A flipper tab would fit right into your "FK2 folder" design, the flipper tab would mimic the FK2 guard
3) A flipper and/or hole makes a right-handed RIL ambidextrous. I'm heavly right-handed, still left hand RIL use is no problem, see my lousy movie below. It's safe because of the flipper tab.

I rest my case

I'm all about pb washers over bearings

 

[Murphjd25]

PB washers and a bushing pivot would be the bees knees! I don’t care much for bearings, although they are fun.

 

[fielder]

I agree, washers not bearings. Thumb stud or hole here, we can't import flippers.
