So it’s a case of contacting you and agreeing project, price and timeframe?

Yes

 

[ronnie hood]

Yes

Sometimes the most simple of solutions are overlooked by us all I guess.
Thanks Nate

Be careful...there may be an unavoidable price increase on that $9,999.99 one off...

Lock it in now!!!

Mighty interesting... I imagine that this cult of fanatics, I mean enthusiasts, could get quite a few on board for a group buy of integral daggers...say each with different handle material!

And I just set aside a nice block of stabilized spalted maple…

So there is a potential for a CPK version of the Busse FMV14…

Careful where you kick. I hear tell some people lose toes kicking near Nathan’s work.

Bob took a pretty serious injury from a Shiv once.

I have a pair of FMV14 and I would buy that blade if it made it in a new production in a heartbeat.

Yep, one need only go through a hundred thousand posts here on the subforum to find pics! I have no idea what happened to my pics of it, can't find 'em. But in honor of the aforementioned occasion, it appears that TODAY, I went ahead and fucked up the same leg (foot previously) and had a whole bunch of staples put into the leg. Ouch.... - and a tetanus shot, which hurt more.............

I hope you're OK, Bob, and are on the mend.

UF2day should be a thing

 

[Box_Opener]

UF2day should be a thing

UF2day happens for me every time I need to cut up a box to fit in the recycle bin.

 

[Box_Opener]

I have an honest question: how did you get the uf2 so light? Everytime I pick mine up, I just marvel. It’s a remarkable design. It cuts like hell, too.

what do you mean, it has a standard can tab. I haven't seen one of those old pull-tabs since I was a kid

Hi Nathan. Does the folder still look like this?

Looks like my mustache back in the 70's.
