No idea. The Izula 2 did the honors anyway. Maybe it was a liability thing. Ever hear about the case of that woman sewing McDonalds because she burned herself on hot coffee? She ended up winning the case because there was no warning on the cup. I think its ridiculous but oh well. There were air packets in the box to act as a filler, but I doubt thats why its there.

Yeah--that's an oldie but a goodie. Stupid lawsuits...

Yeah. The world is lost. Oh well. I have been thinking of trying a bushman for like a year.

Ive always leaned away from Cold Steel but decided to pick this one up. In a couple days ill post up some pics of it in use and give a little feed back. But just from messing around with it today, im pretty happy. Just dont open it expecting it to have the quality of a American made Esee or something like that.
 
I have been working on a "rescue" BK2 that arrived...

The pommel had been smashed into ruin, and the edge was completely dull. A little time on the belt sander fixed both of those issues! I added grip to the scales with 100 grit sandpaper, and tomorrow I will strip the coating. (Or what remains of the coating...)

Pictures and a thread in Becker coming tomorrow.

GAW thread coming tomorrow, too.

How does it feel in the hand? I handled one briefly at smkw and wow! I could hardly wrap my hand around the handle! Did you make the knife in the GAW thread? Can we chat in the GAW thread?
 

Harvest fatwood. Check.




fatwood feather stick


busting down some wood.


LMF firesteel. The one included with the bushman is trash.

Fin.

It feels great, and is a little comfier than the 9, if such treason might be said. Here is a thread on it:

Chatting? Sure. Why not! No, I didn't made the knife. If you search: "Stout Little Bushcraft" you'll see what it is.
 
My latest acquisition...:D

Nice! Is that CF or am I seeing things? I didn't know that KAI made a CF blur?

KAI emailed me again and said that they had cancelled my Nura 3.0 order, as they had made a mistake and it wasn't in stock. This after they said that they would ship in 3-4 weeks!

Anyway, I think that I am drunk, addicted to Golden Spydies, or both, because I ordered a Leafstorm and a T-Mag last night. I found a place with Leafstorms in stock, and I bought the T-Mag lnib but second hand. I am going nuts. Someone help me!
