You could come hang out in our Spartan fitness thread! http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1338054-Beckerhead-quot-Spartan-quot-Fitness-Challenge-GAW-Round-2-is-Live!. I've been doing 350ish every other day for a few months now :thumbup: Most I can get is currently 80 in a row (want to get to over 100).

I've been meaning to get in there and see what y'all are up to.

:thumbup: you should. CrimsonFalcon was generous enough to put a little motivation behind a fitness challenge. Right now we are in round 2. Its motivation for anybody who wants to improve their level of fitness, and a combined knowledge base for people who need ideas or suggestions. Follow the criteria set in page 1, and record progress. I've found it to be a great help! I'm currently down almost 20lbs and have improve my overall strength and endurance with only body weight exercises.

Oh hell, I didn't realize it was that organized! I'll swing in shortly. It appears I've purchased a Spartan Knives Akribis. I bought it used/like new off a guy on Facebook. I'm looking forward to getting it. Hopefully it'll be here Saturday.

somewhere between too many, and not enough.

No such thing as too many and any number is not enough.

So I'm watching a video from SHOT at the Kershaw booth and I decide to pop over to their website to check out their stuff and the first thing I see on the home page is this:

I must has. It's the Camp 12, MSRP of $45. Looks a lot like some of the offerings from Fox Knives.

It looks like someone bought some warped steel and didn't keep the receipt.

Looking forward to having you join in!

I've been curious about some of Spartan Knives designs. Let us know how it is!

Mmmmm, Akribis......high on my want list.

Damn that's a sweet looking folder. Id also like to hear how it is.

Murphnuge · Jan 20, 2016

I'm hoping it's not too gentlemanly for me. Mistwalker gave me a pretty good rundown about it.

Jerry D. · Jan 20, 2016

I remember fondling one of those Spartans at Whitty's, Murph. Bravo.

JD - The shop looks great! Looking forward to more progress pictures.

Made a pre-winter-storm stocking run. I grabbed a six-pack of Sweetwater 420 and a Kel-Tec Sub-2000. I should be good.

Nice.

One rides in my Becker bag for covering the unmentionables.

I'd be tempted to keep the Sub 2000 and beer in the Becker bag too.

What he said! Well, about the join us part. I have been doing a lot less than 350 pushups lol. TBL and the other dudes are kicking butt. It's fun.

Done.

I didn't even know there was a winter-storm coming. Probably won't make it here.

But, if these are the toys you get for one, I'm going to being playing pretend! When is it supposed to hit? I don't want to start too early and have people thinking I'm crazy.

Too late. People already think that because you hang out here...

Quoted for truth.

Looks like I broke the snark. Apologies.

Ditch blade? Waste to ruined that ... IMHO... There's a scythe thread here original there. Just put a handle on.

After reading about these for a few days I agree with you. Sounds like its likely to crack if I make a chopper like I had in mind. Its just not worth destroying a neat antique for what I would get out of it.

Just got in a new box of happy. BK5, brand new in box, and likely to stay that way for now. CS steel tiger, which is pretty nifty, and a neat little kershaw boot dagger.
