    Contest! Drawing 5/28 - 5PM PST

    We have all heard, "When all else fails, follow the directions." My mother has a nice improvement on this one: "BEFORE all else fails, follow the directions." 2thumbs With that, I hope I'm in. Those look like very nice blocks of wood, just begging to become knife handles (or something else...

    Basic Basket Weave Pattern

    Bruce, even your tools are works of art. I love that mallet! (The sheath isn't bad, either. ;) )

    Template material

    I have used Formica scraps from a friend who does cabinet work.

    Stolen Folder

    Johnny, that's a crying shame! Have you heard of Maricopa County (Phoenix), Arizona? Sheriff Joe Arpaio had to dye the underwear, sheets and towels in his jails pink to reduce theft. It caught on well enough that he now sells pink boxers and handcuffs to help fund his Youth Assistance...

    Smith and Wesson ripped off a french designer!

    It's a shame S&W didn't license his design. On the other hand, since S&W is not known for high quality knife steels, maybe not having his name on the Chinese copy is a good thing in some ways. :o

    2.5" EDC

    I am enjoying a Spyderco Endura in my pocket most of the time, but California has some odd laws. If I understand correctly, carrying a knife with more than 2.5" blade on school grounds in CA is a very serious misdemeanor (up to 2 years in the gray-bar hotel). The 3.75" blade on my Endura...

    Big and tactical from me? Yeah, why not :)

    Sounds good! Any option for tip down? (I like to carry my better knives in my right hip pocket where tip down just seems more natural to me.) Thanks, Steve

    2thumbs These are very pretty. I wish I had enough spare change to ask the price to get one of the first knife. It looks like a perfect fit for my pocket, especially if I could add a low-ride clip. I'll have to watch your work when I have some money to spend.

    Best Bang For The Bucks 2009

    Sorry if I shouldn't be waking this zombie thread, but I'm amazed that only one person replied! I feel the Boker Plus line does pretty well, especially the Trance model. The 3" leaf blade of AUS-8 in an open frame with a frame lock fits my hand and my hip pocket well for a bargain price --...

    What's your production EDC today?

    Today a Spyderco Endura 4 and a Leatherman Squirt S4. Lights include a SureFire A2 and a couple of coin-cell lights with my keys. (One has an ultra-violet LED.) The bag in my drawer adds a Boker Plus Trance and a Byrd Robin. (I swap the Endura for the Robin when I need to step onto a...

    What are your favorite production folders?

    A Spyderco Endura 4 is in my EDC rotation so I voted Spydie, but I started EDCing serious blades with Boker Plus models. I find the Trance a very nice size for most jobs. I'm trying an M-Type right now; it seems to need a little lube and tuning to fix its newness. In some ways it is sad...
