Im tired.
I dont feel that stock removal or heat treating is an issue. ALL should be welcome.
How you do business is not the intent here.
If you dont make biguns (hooter mag al bundy)
no sweat. The testing should be simple and for all types of knives.
I dont know at this point about meetings
and get togethers. That could develope.
The point is to build a database with information for each type of knife. Grinds can be taken into account ect. as posted above a hollow ground hunter that chipped on bone. Well we know that if its thin there could be a problem with that function on a knife like that. The box for boning should say NO
:]
This way it is covered when you send the knife.
Some makers may say yes for a thicker hollow grind.
This is your choice. Test it. this stops the BS.
Our group The american armchair ninja or whatever we call it just uses these sheets for knife delivery. It tells the client what to expect . The outline for these requirements should be made by elected folks and outside sources that we trust as experts.
I feel we should at his time
1. decide if we will have layers.. steps like the abs? ect with our own flavor of coarse.
2. determine by vote who makes the requirements for each style of knife. I dont feel one person can do this except a very few.
3. Contact respected canidates that we come up with and send them with a professional request for there services.
4. Make an update schedule for these tests as the years pass. Things change as far as steel ect.requirements and modifications
5.If you want extreme abuse added to the list for your knives ask these folks for what they consider extreme circumstances. That can be a check box with comments.
6. Decide if we will honor a knife if abused.
Im tired .. just some thoughs
