The "HACK" Series . . . . The Whole Story!!!!!

With all due respect, I am not convinced a 3-finger handle is such a great idea as a "Kids" knife.

A 3-finger handle has a small fraction of the control over the knife of a proper full handled 4-finger knife.

Less control, less grip = more prone to accidents. IMO.

Just because it is so small doesn't (to me) make a good justification as a kids knife.

And while I like and am fine with many knives without guards for "Myself", I would have to lean towards providing children with knives with guards for their "Beginners" knives.

It is not my place to say what anyone should or shouldn't provide their children, but I feel I should mention some things for consideration.

Good luck.

I will hope for no serious accidents.

Ken,

I don't understand what you mean by your post.

Since I don't understand, I will try not to take it the wrong way. But, it comes across as very questionable.


My post and caution was made with good intentions.

I would guess he meant to be careful because you are in the path of the hurricane.

As was mine, my brother... Simply, stay safe down there.

I spent several hurricanes in Houston/Katy. This looks like a big one. Nothing ill intended! It's all good!

Cool... :thumbup: .... and I am very sorry for my mis-understanding.... especially when it was intended to be well intended. :o

Thanks for the well wishes.

Right now... here around Houston at least, there doesn't seem or feel to be too much concern. I am actually getting ready to go to a B-day party / gill-out party thing.

I grew up here and have lived through many hurricanes myself including some tornados that have hit our street specifically.

But, at this time, I feel we are most likely just going to get some good rain. Gustav doesn't look to be heading our way.

With any luck, the rest of the south-east won't get any worse.

I know of one person who left Houston this morning. But, she is an elderly widow who is prone to being nervous about little things.

I do feel for Jason and others more inline with the projected path - Louisiana, New Orleans, Mississippi, Alabama and such.

I hope the best for them.

I think it is so sad that even if these folks leave their homes for safety, they have to be concerned about the condition of their homes and property so much.

And the real sad part to me.... is being concerned about what "people" might do rather than Gustav.

These "Looters" should be hung. Or at least dragged by chain behind a truck or similar over grated bridges and around the counties. :mad:

I fear "threats" of sending them directly to jail - are likely to fall on deaf ears. That should have been the minimum assumption last time. Yet, sadly, they caught quite a few officers more focused on looting themselves. :mad:

Good Luck and stay out of harm.
I feel for the ones in New Orleans,hope more are leaving this time.
 
I have in the past given Shrade Sharp fingers for the first fixed blade, handy for Rabbits, squirrels, and will whittle if need be.

This looks to possibly replace the Shrade, so far, in the last 30 years none have been lost or broken, of those I have gifted, so the difference in price does not arouse fear of loss.

I ususally gift between the age of 5 and 7.
 
I have a feeling all that say they will pass will sooner or later end up with a Bear Cub or 2 in their collections.

I think the looters are on a train to Memphis this time.

I didn't design this for really young kids to use. . . . It is important to note that my daughter was only 1 1/2 years old when I made this for her. . . . I made it for her to have when she is older. . . . MUCH older!!!

My first knife was an Old Timer pocket knife with no guard whatsoever. . . I was probably about 7 or 8 years old. I never slipped over the guard but did fold the blade on my fingers a few times. . . Ouch!

I agree with most of what you said but also realize that it depends on the ability of the parent to teach knife-use safety and the particular child involved. :thumbup:


Jerry :D

That is the most important thing.
 
What's up with the HACK engraving? Its not really in line with Busse quality. Kinda tacky IMHO. Will sterile be an option?
 
Just because Jerry designed this knife with his daughter in mind I dont think he is offering it to us with intentions for us to give it to our kids.
 
oh man, I'll be in line for a few of these. This is a great offering after multiple big blades.

Bring it!
