We made a few 14” Shiv pig swords. It will not be a standard model.

Friday sales or Mumblety-peg?

I’m just a guy who happened to get lucky a couple of times.

Any chance you would consider doing a lottery style drawing (like for the Reaper) for the 14" shiv?
About how many will be released into the wild?

Dibs. We raise hogs.... For consumption by discerning individuals. We can run trials... I know you are big on testing. Proper bleeding is important.

I will deliver home cured pork bellies. Ohhhhh. I need.

Nathan, I found myself wondering this as I was falling asleep last night…

What’s your most bulletproof, unbreakable blade? Not to include the recent fireman’s breaching tool. Behemother? K18?

The SDFK

Follow-up, since I see that Nathan the Machinist "liked" the reply just above...

Nate, how far behind would you rate the "signature" version of the SDFK, if at all? Ballpark, obviously not expecting anything beyond a reasonable guesstimate. Thanks.

The SDFK is pretty stout but the 10" Heavy Chopper is probably the most retard resistant knife we've ever made (excluding the fireman's breaching tool)

I'm allowed to say "retard". I have a doctor's note.

Obviously, the signature build is not stronger than the basic build. But, if I did my job right, when used as a knife there is no real difference.

A swedged version of a knife removes meat from the spine near the tip which would certainly reduce the prying strength. Meaning, if you were to bury a couple inches of that knife into some wood and then put a big lateral load on it, the basic has more meat.

It is still a while away.......


Should I bring extra beer to Meadville for you to enjoy? Lol

This is true. He has shown it to me. Multiple times. Like he’s proud of it. Really.

Ooo, thanks. Forgot about that one!

Was the Heavy Chopper thicker than the .275" Heavy Dufy Medium Chopper?

He didn’t give you a note that lets you say retard.

He gave you a note that says YOU are a retard.
