Random Thought Thread

Everyone has to have a limit. It just differs person to person.

I hope you never see me tell someone or imply how they should spend their money. None of my business.
Beauty of the internet, I can chuckle and roll my eyes in private.

Lots of beautiful knives out there that I personally have no use for but others might. That includes $1500 HDFK’s
I have a <$500 alternative that will do everything I can throw at it. Perfect example

Well Nathan the Machinist sold us our HDFK’s <$500. So there is that.
But yeah, I’m not buying at $1500 either.

It's more about a want and no longer a need. Same thing can be said about a $400 knife that someone can find one just about as good for $100, and so on.

I just want to sleep with Nate's name under my pillow everyday

My random thought for the day...

I'm not paying 1000 bucks for an axe.

Not sure how I got on their mailer, but saw that and thought it looked like a fine axe. Then I saw 'auction' then I saw today what it has gotten up to. GTFO here with that. Thing'll never see any work. Shame.

I spent about $1500 on a knife I really wanted, but after handling it I just knew I would never use it for what I wanted to do with it- it was just too nice to be busting brush with. I sold it.
Axes get swung in nasty places (for me) sometimes, and hit rocks and such so I sure would not spend a lot.
I certainly admire the beautiful competition cutting axes and can see those folks paying more for sure.

I have often wondered how much the axes cost used in the Lumberjack Championships such as the one in Hayward Wisconsin.

Then by all means you should have one.

Drooled over the Tuatahi website before, but I don't do anything that even remotely justifies a $6xx - $7xx axe.

Inbound? How did you pull this off, something high octane?

Idk which ones they use up north, but these racing axes from NZ run $468-692 for just the head. I think this style is commonly used for racing.

I presume (hope) those prices are in NZ dollars, which would make them roughly $295 US.

I was dinged for second half of payment so I'm happily waiting!

That may have just been “truck part and tire” money before the mill pick up in Illinois.

It’s probably the one yoko fondled and drooled on in Meadville. I heard it went beyond fondling.
It’s not like they can sell it to anybody else now.

Wonder if I could get Nathan to make me a K20 out of spare Ford parts?

A k20 out of ford parts would probably just fall apart when you tried to use it
