The Truth about gun magazine test reports:

If I understand Norm's knife correctly, only the spine is wavy, the edge is straight enough?

I wish Norm would post a pic of that Crow knife's spine, give us a better grasp of the scope of the problem. My guess is it may have warped a bit during heat treatment, but that's just a guess.

If so, I thought your etching idea wonderful. You can fool the eye, please the eye, make the tool even better. If the edge is OK, geeze, I think i'd keep the knife as is. You can remove material around the spine area without hurting the heat treat or temper.

Sarge, the folks in this forum collectively know too darn much. One person can't hope to keep up with it all. Come de Revolution, the only substancial contribution besides marksmenship and hunting I could offer is reloading. Sarge and Steve with several others could build a new society.

"Sargeville"

When my time here is done
work and play all run
all hopes and dreams contained
it seems, in the setting of this sun

Let me walk in Sargeville, where all my friends reside
making music, telling stories, where the truth does not hide.

I'll be glad to Sarge, and welcome the input!

On the subject at hand, I have been subscribing to 6 gun magazines for close to 20 years, a few longer, and for gun reviews Gun Tests is the best. I have been bit a few times by the slicks, only to later find that I missed the review pointing out the same flaws I found in Gun Tests. They may not be perfect, but they are far better than the standard gun mags.

They can't cover all the models in a given sampling of course, but of the 3 or 4 they do you can count on what they find.
