Have you seen Bob Kevoin's totem pole? It's slightly less pc.

No. I'm hoping for a freak lightning strike that kills both teams at kickoff.

I invented a new drinking game for the superbowl. Any time a team you hate is on the field you take a drink. I would be dead before the first commercial break.

So when winching a dead horse out of a corral, the legs will not pull off as I had feared. It was a smooth operation, not for the horse of course, the M-18 got no joy.

Another one of life's little problems that could have been solved with high explosives.

Being a stock-removal guy, I've yet to get a commission for a KSO that large. Folks love the idea of something like that in Elmax or CPM-3V, but when they see my quote on steel cost alone, never mind belts and labor, I usually never hear from 'em again :D CrimsonFalcon would be the guy to ask about a project like that.


Wrapped around the hand front and back. Don't do that. It allows only one grip, which is pretty much a straight wrist... which is terrible for slashing or chopping.


Maybe halfway in between. Some "drop" is good on almost any knife, but too much gets weird and hard to control.

That's kind of beyond the class of being a knife or even a machete. Ask around in the sword forum.

People are definitely pretty squeamish. I think if I calculated out what I end up making on labor, it would be pennies on the hour, if anything at all. I try to at least recoup the costs though, but yeah, with 3V, the price goes up FAST. It's not really cheap stuff, and since I farm out my HT also, and have to pay shipping both ways, it's expensive. My current batch will be around 100 bucks in shipping, and 100 bucks in HT costs, so I'm at 200 before even mentioning materials costs, which is...significant...for 2 6"x36" chunks of CPM 3V.

Took some pics of totems when I was hiking Stanley Park in Vancouver a couple of years ago.

SAR5. It used to have what was basically a hammer handle on it. Ergos were awful.
I ground down the micarta to a much more comfortable size, and Garth Reckner re-tubed it for me.
 
Sleet, freezing rain and snow here. I might be forced to sit in front of the fire with a toddy and sharpen some knives.

Enjoy it, I'm putting together a toddler bed. It's not that I'm expecting Ark over, it's actually my daughter's new bed.
 
James when you mentioned asking the sword side i had the idea to give it a 2 hand grip like a sword. Now its just under 24" OAL and has a 2 hand grip and would take Paul Bunyan to swing it more than a few times im sure. And i kept the top part of the handle wrapping around my hand some as a guard. This would be ridiculously big and heavy. But this would indeed make Crocodile Dundee piss himself.

Silly but MASSIVE.
