Drilled right through the primer. Used a very small carbide bit. I broke a regular one first try.
I ordered a fox 599 karambit on impulse that should be here sometime this week. Kinda excited to get it tbh. I think it's about the only knife I would actually consider carrying solely for self defense purposes. It's waved like an Emerson, and the way it's set up in pocket allows for almost instantaneous deployment. The best part is that you can hook your finger in the ring and when you wave it out, the thing is automatically positioned in reverse grip and ready to be used. Really cool:thumbup:
Oh and my birthdays coming up (on the 12th) so I might be getting something else pretty soon. Might even be a nice new CRK to keep lil stabby company....... Hmmmm........Ideally I'd like a Damascus with cf inlays. Or maybe wood. IDK, But definately something dressier.
Anyway, Im also getting ready to ship my para 2 out to Keyman for a set of CF scales. His wait time is still around 8 weeks though, so I won't be seeing the result for some time
How about you? Anything new?

What's new for me is trying to make my own. I've made quite a few of my own knives before, but they were always driven by others' designs (ripped off, basically).
I'm going to try a few of my own designs. No holds barred. Big badass choppers and just stuff I personally like. "Evil, up to no good type chit".
Who knows if other people will like em. The good thing is that I know I will!

I can not keep my mind off mcustas lately! Even though they're probably a tad bit delicate for my uses, and the wood handles would get scarred to hell and back. I'm really trying to save up for a micarta 25. It's my realistic grail for the year(at the moment anyways).

Happy birthday if I miss you on here the day of, man. Nice score on the karambit. I don't believe they offered a DT Sebenza with CF inlays at BHQ, did they? If you found one, you could have it fitted with a DT blade provided you can wait 5 months. No new blades for me, I still browse in anticipation for what I want at BLADE, but I've held true to my "only one knife in 2015" commitment.
Awesome man, wishing you luck! I've seen you grind a thing or two, I think with patience and practice you'll be making some sweet stuff! We already know you can regrind pretty well. Btw...I ended up scoring the Omega SMP I was after, after wheeling and dealing a couple of other watches, one of them being a 14060 Sub! Loved the sub, but not as much as a buddy did, so I sold it to him a day after wearing it, walking into Omega and trying on a pre-owned Seamaster Pro 2254.50 for the first time since drooling over it in magazines years back. The older Sub was superior in some ways, but ultimately less pleasing to me than the SMP. I went into Omega to get a Planet Ocean model actually, but still liked everything about the older discontinued 2254.50 better. So...I hunted, and hunted, and hunted...Then found it for a killer price in excellent condition! GMT Master II is still on the list but I think my wife is going to get it or a 16610LV Sub for me as a wedding gift! We're already hitched but doing the ceremony after we both finish our degrees. She went back to school sooner than I did, but we've got about the same time left. I've got maybe a semester or school year maximum more than her which is PERFECT because that will greatly lessen the load on me in my final stretch before graduation. Here's the SMP with two of my other cherished pieces
Don't mind the leaf by the way! One month, no cigarettes at all, and far less cigars. Gotta live a little but, the cigs at least are history.
Awesome to here your getting into knife making!

I think the 25 comes with corian handles as well. Those might be better for heavier use.

Oh no, the grail I was referring to would be a crk micarta 25. You got my hopes up thinking that they snuck a new inlay version past me haha. If I were to get a mcusta it would be a tactility in cocobolo or burl, possibly ebony if it's available on that model.

LOL, sorry... I completely misunderstood you. Thought you were talking about the Mcusta Basic MC-25.
Actually there's a few varieties
But the raindrop's my favorite:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Right? But who knows when they'll get them back in stock, if ever......
Damn you CRK! Teasing me all the time, but not even allowing me to get fleeced:grumpy:
Got the karambit today, and it's freaking badazz
Now THIS is something I would actually consider carrying for defensive purposes.
And as you can see, CM supplied me with an excellent new quote for my sig when we were discussing the legality of carrying it Socal
