Looking for a new knife....

[Tant01]

I really can't complain about the few deals I've made (there). I could say nothing but good things about how pleasant it has been dealing with the few men I've had the pleasure to buy from.

And since it's good stuff I'll tell you straight up that Craig Camerer is my "go to" guy if I had the money for one of his forged bowies.

He made a D2 karambit for me that was frikin monsterous and had NO problem when I asked him if I could swap it for a smaller version. Good guy.

Thanks Kindly Mr. B but you know me... Custom knife dreams on a Frost Cutlery budget...

LOL

[Tant01]

BOOOO!!!! Machete Black With Sheath by Frost Cutlery

[Tant01]

Lets find out...

This looks like a good deal... 1085 carbon steel, RH 55-57, epoxy powder coated 9" blade 14.25" OA X .236" (6mm) thick.

Made in Taiwan... for about 45.00 USD...

Hmmm... looks like a work knife to me.

I figured I could get two of these for the price of a real knife... May need to customize a handle with some stabilized wood and mosaic pins?

A chunk of steel it is... I'll see if I like them or send them back but I ordered a small and large "heavy" model today..

Tant, check your PM. I spoke with Dad and you may be in luck. He understands that you are a "Team Infidel" plank owner and have the jersey to prove it, and he's willing to make you a thousand dollar knife for a hundred dollar budget.

It's all who you know.

Without hesitation!

Sweet!

I'm sorry I know this is completely irrelevant to the topic, but every time I see this thread it looks like "i'm looking for a new wife".

[Tant01]

That would be something but I don't really advertise it...

My late wife passed away the very month you became a member.

Got someone in mind? LOL

But are they functional as well as fancy? I'll take a butt ass ugly knife that orks over a pretty knife that's useless anyday.

[Tant01]

I think these fall into the "work" knife catagory

[Tant01]

Hmmm....?
