nice chamfers!
 
adamlau adamlau played a very neat trick on me today. I'm not gonna tell you exactly what he did, but let's say that he's very mischievous and that I'll be getting him back at a time of my own choosing ;)

Adam must have seen my posts enquiring about switching to water stones WRT my CPK-D3Vs, so he shipped out his Arctic Fox 800 grit water stone to me. Thank you very, very much Adam. You're a sneaky lil Devil!
 
Sometimes I'll show pictures of my sheaths to people at work. Conversations go like..

Me: "This is why I don't go to the bar after work, I'm doing this instead."

Mook: "Oh wow, you made that knife?"

Me: "If I could make knives like that I wouldn't have to be here working with you."

Mook: "Oh, what is that, a case or something? That's nice."

Me: "Your evaluation is due in 2 months."

Convert: "Holy crap, that case sheave thing is amazing!"

It's definitely a subculture which many people do not identify with and to a much lesser extend associate with.

I wonder what Convert would say, if he knew that you make beautiful sheaths for Nathan's shivs? ;)

When it comes to bigger rigs and full size trucks, I'd choose the turbo diesel engines over the V10 gas engines, but I also get it that they're not for everyone. I prefer the big inline straight 6 in the Cummins TD motors over the Duramax and the Powerstroke engines, but then again I'm biased towards Dodge.

Well, for what it's worth, I'm a fan. I certainly plan to give you more business in the future.

Preferably Convert is pooping in their pants at this point when they realize they've displeased the divine poobah that is me. Simple things make me happy.
 
The next time you feel worthless just remember your organs are still worth hella money on the black market.

I already know where my truck sits as far as MPG goes, and this one will probably be the same 10MPG that it gets. My buddy sells cars and has a guy come in and ask about a Corvette, then cared about the gas mileage. "This ain't for you, bud!"

I'd love to have the 7.3 diesel version but they're averaging about double the price of this one and I can't find any with less than 150k miles in my area. The 6.0 power strike has all the power in the world but not reliable enough.

I'll likely never own a Dodge truck. Dealt with enough of them over the years with plowing snow.

I like to tell people "next time you're feeling bad just remember that one tiny little hair from inside your pants can shut down any restaurant in the country in seconds".
