Just lost my tent to dry rot. I set it up for nice midday stay/nap outdoors and it ripped out at the seams.

Not really "begging shamelessly", or even asking. Just throwing it out there in case anyone has an extra cheapie they dont care about or the kids don't use anymore, ect. Doesnt hurt to see. Lots if people are bound to have an old one around.
 
Just wanted to say this thread is awesome to the member that sent me that PM last night thank you so much sir, and the cqc-7 is still available, If any member isn't comfortable posting a pic of themselves (I asked for a pic of an active duty soldier with the date on it to validate you are really deployed and on active duty), feel free to send it via email to allenrhodes1986@yahoo.com, and it will stay private, I know first hand about OPSEC and if that is an issue we can work around that. Somebody needs this knife!

Ok guys the 2 stones I have are the brown SiC (medium) stones on a base.

As for the small case stockman Mother of Pearl (white with gold colored bolsters) I would be welling to give it if I can get a bone or wood handle stockman back I can actually use. This knife is presentation grade in original presentation box with paperwork, mfg'd 2012. The only thing it's ever done is a chain link carving out of soap so almost zero use. If someone has a stockman they planned to give as a gife I would gladly exchange this presentation grade knife for a user, it doesn't even have to be a stockman, a 2 blade equivilant would be just as good for my use. I want to have a small stockman or other similar knife in my collection but this one is just to nice for me. I don't have and brand loyalty either so it doesn't need to be a case even- GEC, buck, any small 2/3 blade traditional would be perfect.


For the 2 guys who asked me about tools- I don't have a spare 32mm [sorry, atleast its free to borrow right], I know I have a spare 8mm combo wrench but my spare wrench drawer is actually in my buddies box that comes and helps me when I need assistance and I have him keep his box locked (to ease my mind) so in the next few days whenever he comes by next ill dig it out, contact me now tho so I don't have to search back threw the thread to find you then. Thx
 
Well, I am truly blessed and excited. They Barkie STS-4 arrived here today. It is really amazing, I love the thin scales, it fits my hand perfectly.

First pic shows as arrived. I could not resist though, I had to go ahead and touch up the blade a bit. It did not take much to get it back to typical Barkie sharp and then some. I like most any type edge, but Convex have to be the easiest to sharpen and repair. I decided to leave just a bit of aesthetic "ding" to remind me this IS a user and it will be treated as such, not a safe queen. Functionally it feathers a phonebook page silently with no snag. The sheath is amazing, so much thought and skill in the construction and functionally, it shows. But enough of that, on with the pics.

I do apologize for the furry pics, my camera does not have the same depth perception I do.......

Tom, Man.....what can I say....Other than I appreciate this wonderful gift, it really is great. I will post some more user pics, especially once deer season gets rolling.

OK guys & gals,I've gotten a couple of great items(love the sling,key fob & Case folder CK!)so I'm adding a nice(to me)fixed blade since they seem to be in demand.
My problem is that I am unemployed & blew my wad shipping out the items that were claimed from me so far,
so I hate to say,whoever gets dibs on this one will need to pay shipping..sorry:o
My hobby,when I had a place to work on 'em was to put handles on knife blanks that I bought from makers here on BF.(or used to be here in Landi's case)

Anyhoo,I've had this Landi up for sale for a while & haven't gotten any takers so what the hay,I'll give it away.:)

I would like it to go to someone that doesn't have a good hard use fixed blade knife.(or the means to acquire one)

I copied & pasted the pertinent info from the sale thread so ya'll can see the warts before calling dibs....

This is a John Landi Multi Purpose Medium blade that I put scales on.
I had it up for sale before,but have since made a sheath & blued it.
It is 5/32" thick 1095.
OAL is 9 11/16" with a 5 1/16" blade with convexed edge.Perfect size for a camp knife.
I forced a patina with ketchup on the blade,but didn't like the look I got so I cold blued the blade,spine & tang for a subdued look.
There are some random pits from the ketchup etching & scratches from the sheath,but nothing bothersome that'll affect performance.
The scales are 1/8" od green micarta over 1/8" lime green liners held on with G Flex epoxy & 1/4" brass pins & tube making for a very secure & comfortable handle with no hot spots.
The sheath is from a Scrap Yard Knife Co. Dumpester Mut I reheated & shaped for this Landi.
It had 3/16" holes for Chicago Screws & I drilled them out for 1/4 rivets & added a couple more at Tek-Lok spacing so it can be carried on a belt.Sorry,tek-lok not included.
I smashed the back of the bottom 2 rivets & split the second down from the top(see the pic)but they hold just fine & are hidden in use.
I know from experience that trying to replace them just messes up the holes & surrounding area so I left them.:rolleyes: :o
The knife locks in with a good snap for great retention.
