THE BEAST = Dogfather

gatorzingo, you have a truly awesome collection of choppers, I have never seen a sasquatch bowie in blue micarta, awesome knife.

Thanks

Looks great, but how will do against corrosion? That's whats stopping me from stripping mine too.

people have been making knives of steel that were such lower quality for a thousand plus years, some how i dont worry about these issues and some how i dont have them,,,,, i have a ton of stripped infi etc.....
 
So Valley did you have to work it all - or did you just strip her and this is what was undernieth?

Looks really good!! :thumbup: :D
 
all i did was put the stripper on and run some 400 grit over it so far, i will put the mirror finish on next week...
 
So was the 400 gt to assist in the removal of the coating or to pollish up the blade a bit?

BTW - looks great and Battle Ready just the way she is!
 
VTW,

Did the primary bevel also have the dimples like the rest of the blade? If so I assumed that you took them out with the 400grit. I am also considering stripping my DogFighter and putting a satin finish on the blade.

no dimps on primary......
 
I just got my DF in. I never really liked Res-C. Just a micarta/full tang kinda guy I guess. However, I think the DF has changed that. ;) Time to bond.
 
I got my DF yesterday it will make an OK user, but I don't like the heavy forward balance and it could use a longer grip.

That Sasquatch is sweet man! I have a hankering for one, but I just haven't found the right one yet.

As far as corrosion resistance goes on the stripped S-7, it is not stainless by any stretch, not like INFI that's for sure. My scrapper 6 LE rusted up pretty good after being purposely neglected. If you wiped it down after each use, I have no doubt it would do pretty well. I took a Dog Father out yesterday and did some chopping on a downed branch that fell into my dog's pen. It took huge hunks out, but when I hit the center, I got one really good roll in the steel. I don't have a round ceramic rod, or it would most assuredly have coem out, but I have it stropped up pretty good, the metal is still a bit deformed. The branch, really more of a sappling, was still plenty green, so the core of it was probably still pretty frozen. If my FBM ever gets here, I willtake it out and chop on what is left to see how it fairs on the frozen wood.
 
Guyon,

I'll take the Basic 9 !!!! :D Nice collection of choppers man!
