Knife Thread: All about Knives and other edged tools

[Danny]

for cutting your foot off so you can get outta the shackle to go find help for the shot guy laying on the floor of a abandoned shit house ????

Duh. What else could I possibly be thinking?

It is not done, but I made a throwing knife. The hard parts are done, it is in the last stages of edge smoothing. I am going to add blood grooves on the blade.

I cut it perfectly balanced in the middle, it throws SO much better than my expensive throwers.

I made it from a left over section of steel from my Uncles garage. I would guess it is 1/8 of an inch thick by 8 inches long.

I used a sawzall to cut it out and a nasty grinder to add the edges. Then I used 60 grit sand paper all the way to 180 to smooth it out. It is a bit too sharp, hoping it will dull over time. With throwing knifes you want only want the point sharp.

In the future I am going to use some cardboard in the vise while holding them. It should help with the indents left from it.

In the end I saved 56 dollars on the style throw I wanted. It is not pretty but with a few more hours it will be polished and shaped.
I got full spin throws after 4 tries, and then the best of the night was 21 feet full spin throw.

^ Do you like the operation of the assist? I'd worry about it getting loose. Pricey, maybe that makes up for it.

[mrsleeve]

its a True AUTO not a assisted but you can open it like a normal manual open knife. Yeah I have had it about a week and been just playing with it to break it in and prolly have a 1000-1200 openings on it and not one sign of loosening. Its a very simple mechanism and I dont see how it will loosen up, its a life time warranty anyway. Really stiff no give once its open no side to side, no back and forth play once its locked in the open position.

Very nice knife and I am very happy with it.

My bench made I have to tighten up the pivot screw every so often.

My go to knife for camping/hiking, and also took it cave diving once.

[Kershaw]

pretty badass looking. what is it?

[mamzak]

A Bekizo? I don't know...I bought it because:
a) CHEAP I got it on Ebay for like $10
b) wrapped in paracord
c) pretty thick, solid blade
d) nice sheath that you can secure onto your arm or leg (especially nice for a wetsuit)

So far it's held up really well.

Currently carry a Gerber Tanto 2.5" and a Gerber Suspension Multi-tool every day. I have another Gerber hunting knife in my car just in case. I used to have a cheap chinese balisong I practiced with until the bite handle broke.

Currently saving for a Benchmade balisong, I miss playing with butterfly's.

There is some very nice steel in this thread. Keep posting away.
