Quitcherbitchin' already!:D
If you are this cynical at 16, I can't imagine how much of a grumpy bastard you will be in a few years when you are completely on your own...


Also, just saw that The Walking Dead will be back on Sunday. Sweet.

I can't wait! I was iffy on that show in it's first season but it has really been transforming into an awesome series (as it is with most shows, the first season establishes itself as a great idea for a show but the writers and cast haven't found their stride with it yet). Too bad Gerber owns the rights to being the official Walking Dead knives, Beckers would be awesome in that show. I know there have been Busse and Spyderco cameos so there is hope yet...

Same here. Wright's bacon and home baked bread. Hell yeah.

Mmmmmm homemade bread sounds good. It was store bought bread and Cloverdale thick cut bacon for me. I was going to use my last package of Bentons, but figured I'd save it for another time.

I've been cleaning out my gun/reloading/computer room and its starting to look good again. It seems like all the junk and boxes get put in here and never get moved and its a small room, so it ends up a huge mess. I've found like 2,000 9mm brass that I had forgotten about which is awesome. I'm consolidating all my other brass and getting it sorted out and put in containers instead of baggies. I posted this before, but I'm going to post it again. If anyone reloads 40 S&W get ahold of me and I'll send you a pile of it for free.

I can't wait for the new season of Walking Dead either. Its one of my favorite shows for sure.

Was looking around the internet to find a new battery or two for my cordless drill tonight. I just have a cheapo Black & Decker 14.4v that does what I need it too, but needs another battery or two. Anyways, I found a 2 battery set for like $53 and then as I was looking some more I found a set with 2 batteries, drill, and charger for $63. I'll have another drill and a couple batteries next week sometime. I figured that for the extra $10 I may as well just get the whole kit and have a second drill and charger.

Glad to here I sparked your intrest. However the bugs are pretty much worked out. It took about me a few to figure out the best edge geometry and how thin to take the forward grind but I've compared the best performing ones to date and pretty sure I got it figured out. I still haven't made a sheath that I'm overly happy about for it but everybodies wants and like are all across the chart on that. But the knife is pretty much figured out. Any changes I make on it now are just improvements. As you know I've been numbering them. I only plan on using Ethans grips on them up to #20. I have Ethans permission to use them and they are great. But it is my knife and I don't wish to ride anybodies shirt tail. So after 20. My grips. That's the plan anyway.

Aww Hell Todd, I am not sure I will have funds available before you get to 20. Maybe we can work something out. Show me a sketch of what your handles would look like ..lol Maybe I would like yours as much.

Looks good. Rub some mineral or tung oil on it and the haft will look great.
 
Had to renew my CPR certification at work last week and encountered this little gem:

Goes to show there's nothing like fresh meat... :D
 
So earlier this week my 11 fell out of my sheath and I was missing it soo much I just ordered another one so I just need to wait
