. . . .Years ago (Early 1996) I made a very unusual custom blade for a very discreet group. . . It is a design for up close and personal work. . . They had very specific ideas about this design. It looks very little like any other publicly offered Busse blades. . . it is VERY angular!. . . I made enough for the group and told them that I would retire the design for 10 years. . . . Long story short. . . Garth finds the design. . . says, "Wow! that's cool!" I say, "Put 'em down junior, they're too hard to make!". . . He laughs. . . says something about me being 'too old' . . . I break an empty bottle of scotch over his head. . . He turns around and asks, "Why is there broken glass all over the shop floor??". . . . 
. . . I stand in wonder at his meteor-like coconut and tell him, "Don't worry about it. . . just go make one and then admit in front of the rest of your crew that you don't have the mad skills required to do it on a blade this small like the Boss can!". . .
This should be really interesting. It seems odd to many, but it is much easier to do a bunch of grinds on a larger blade than it is on one that is so small. . . There are lots of little grinds and facets and angles in a very small EDC sized blade that can punch through body armor like it's made out of butter!!!. . . .
So, he's in there right now cursing up a storm. . . kinda fun from this end. . . .
I don't expect much but I will keep you informed of his nightmare as it progresses. . .
"Shiva" is the name given to the most recent asteroid to have been creditied with bringing down T-Rex and the rest of the dinosaurs . . . We call Garth "G-Rex" around the shop, so the name "Shiva Rex" only seemed appropriate!!! :thumbup: This should bring him down rather quickly!!!
Stay tuned. . . I'm drinkin'!!!!
