Sorry. NO I didn't understand what you were talking about. And i have no clue as to your point for your comments. Like Daniel said, a knifes a real handy survival tool. Bruce is lucky. And MacGyvering a fire with a battery aint my first choice. As for survival fire starting. Preparation more...

JMforge. Lol.. yep over kill. That fire tin is holdover from training days. Force of habit

Sitting in a chair or stool while grinding comes up on forums every now and then . From what I've read its more common than we think or care to admit. Biggest complaint i saw were guys sitting to close to the sparks. Seems they didn't like their crotches getting hot. Second was sitting on metal...

At this point I'd like to apologize to Thomster for participating in a hijacking his thread on which steel. Again my apologies!

Since this is an open forum you are free to do as you wish. However you accused me of saying things that I did not say and I will call you out.. Blocking just means you don't have to answer when someone calls you out.

still carry a fire starter kit in day pack. Flint/steel, char cloth, hemp rope, magnifying glass and a BUTANE LIGHTER.

Rlol. Never heard it called survival scenario before. Survival situation yes, but never a scenario.. only time we used the term scenario was to play "what if "survival games with students. Verax ..believe it or not there are some places in the world where cell phone don't work. Edward, you...

Sorry. Misspoke on the Ontario knife throwing a spark with flint. Its stainless. That was my Old Timer folder that would throw a spark.

I have but tend towards the propane. Got tired of burning steel when I got distracted

nice! love the wood

Next time read the post! .... I Never accused you of saying DR. LARRINS information was false. I said you were claiming that Dr. Larrim was experienced enough or knowledgeable to instruct us. I derived that opinion from you constantly denigrating of his knowledge. And you never answered the...

Sorry KEV, got side tracked with other responses. .to my knowledge any steel used in knife making today will throw a spark with the ferro rod,

no expert here but I've used various methods for fire starting for many years. Carbon steel knives and flint rock. A soft back/spine blade won't work. It has to bee hardened to throw the spark.. Ferro rods. Using blade edge is reserved for emergencies. A small piece of hacksaw blade with a...

Thanks Mt Bob. My Google fu wasn't up to finding it.

Understand the defensiveness and how large the metallurgical field is. Maybe he could suggest some reading material since he claims Dr. LARRIN isn't experienced enough or knowledgeable to teach us metallurgy

Edward, slow down guy. Maybe the guy could answer whether this change is the result of plasticized strain, thermal strain, transformational strain or the transformational plasticity strain of the Ra change to martensite or a change just within the martensite

PS. To say you produce EDC copies could get you into hot water. Generally in the knife world we ask permission to copy someone's else's style. Even though there's very little new in the knife business its call professional courtesy to ask permission before you copy a style, particularly when...

Well all I can say is you definitely have a different approach to marketing and sales. Maybe your style works for you but when you post half finished work it reflects, or a potential clients asks for pictures of your work its best to be able to show a finished product . Also just a hint ...but...

its just my observations but the knife you have displayed isnt bad but if you dont mind some suggestions/ critiques. . Your knife doesn't flow well. Generally your handle should flow through the guard into the Riccaso. Yours appears to be an after thought thrown on the blade. Its just a...

Allergic reactions are strange..seen guys I've trained with for years never have a reaction to various stings. Then on day your hitting them with the Epi needle and med evac them.
