Yeah I've always been kinda picky on my blade/handle ratio and that's one reason I was never really drawn to them much. But then again, it's a knife...

I can see for opening boxes and shallow detail cuts. For scraping I like a nice chisel tip. Tanto points make decent scrapers too.

Yeah, I didn't consider them at all until Timy over on JT basically challenged me to make one... All downhill from there.
The neat thing about a single-side grind with a sharpened back edge is that you can lay the main bevel flat on a surface and shave it clean very comfortably.

And who's Todd?

I like to give Tiberius a hard time by calling him names not his own.

re: raising kids (and I have NONE, so hold this salt shaker for me?): my theory is you demand that they be good, thoughtful people and no excuses for gender should ever be made. BE GOOD PEOPLE!

This will sound terrible, but raising kids and dogs is somewhat similar. Be consistent...once you bend a rule or don't enforce it once, then it's not a rule any more.

That's not just kids and pets. That's people in general. 8 years working the gates as a federal security guard has shown me that. You can have something be a rule and enforce it every day, but if one guy doesn't enforce it one time then it goes right out the window.

I read in the bible, "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger,", but I can't recall the same for children, except that they are to honor their father and mother. It is easy to read, and to say, but harder to do.

"Thou shalt not snark for 30 minutes after eating.", someone.

It was fun at first, but I get the sense Todd doesn't find it as funny anymore. After all, the man's name is his brand.

I'm around 380 right now, that qualifies me as morbidly obese but luckily I haven't developed any heath problems related to it...yet and I can still move around fine, walk and go for hikes and stuff. Most people wouldn't guess I was anywhere near 380 by looking at me. I've been hitting the gym most nights at work and walking for at least a half hour on my nights off. Need to step up the exercise and cut calories. Might have to resort to surgery but that's an absolute last resort. I need to look into a personal trainer. I did weight watchers once, lost about 25 lbs in 3 months and that was giving my self one day a week where I ignored the program totally and ate anything I wanted. I think that one cheat day helped me stay with it as long as I did.

This is the one thing I liked about WW when I was doing it with the wife. I let her cook and prepare all the meals, the only thing I had to keep track of were my points. On my cheater days instead of eating what they call a "portion" of steak, I'd eat a 18oz rib eye. One day a week won't kill your diet just slow it down a little :) I started up again on my recent bout of weight loss. If I win the contest not only am I going to buy a few knives.... Some "all you can eat" ribs will be in order ;)

This is why (if one were to spend that kind of coin) one should get the 560....longish blade made of Elmax and roller bearings at the pivot. Used, they are a good value on what would otherwise be a lottery knife. I really like mine.

That does look better. If only I knew someone who could slap a full-flat grind on one...

That sort of thing does get old pretty quick.

Perhaps I'm just thin-skinned but I'm a little snotty about that sort of thing. I've lost count of how many times I've introduced myself to someone and they immediately start calling me "Jim". "Excuse me. If my freakin' name was 'Jim' I would have said so, Captain Overly-Familiar." This goes over especially well in job interviews. Seriously... I've never not gotten a job where that happened...

On the other hand, if you're a fellow maker who loves to bestow silly nicknames in serious non-snark/chat conversations, and whose knife's edge breaks out disastrously during a public challenge, I reserve the right to call you "Chip" in public for the rest of time. That's just turnabout/fair play :D
 
To anyone I have not offended...my apologies. Be patient, I will get to you eventually.
