[nell67]

[yukon55]

[nell67]

If it would give us idea of what your knife looks like,sure.

Neologist, there are many types and styles of knives made from files, yukon said his was homemade by his grandfather in 6 hours. I doubt very much that the picture you posted of one from Mako Knives looks anything like the one his granddad made. I don't know even how his grandfather made one in 6 hours!

I made one, took an American made file to my grinder. Kept dipping it in oil and ground a nice edge. Nothing fancy, wrapped some hemp around the handle and threw it in my truck. It's sharp, and always throws sparks.

I did trade for a knife that is more prof. made, would not trade it for anything. I do have a horse file downstairs that has Bowie written all over it.

[yukon55]

if yall want i can try to get a photo of it

[crashdive123]

We'd love to see it when you get a chance.

[huntermj]

I know this my sound corny but i miss my Grandfather. I'm 43 years old and i still miss him. I learned so much from him that i still carry in my day to day life. I would give anything to spend six hours grinding out a knife with him. I'm sorry if this is inapproite here but reading this post made me think of him.

Nothing corny about it at all. The loved ones that have passed live on in our memories. Sometimes it's nice to say it out loud and share those memories with others.

[huntermj]

Thank you crash!

[nell67]

I agree with Crash,we all have fond memories of loved ones who are gone,my grandprents,my mom,my oldest sons father,all hold a place in my heart I won't let go.

[yukon55]

thank you for sharing that jim

[chiye tanka]

Couldn't have said it better.

[FVR]

Weird. Woke up this morning and wrote a little about my grandfather.

Just weird.

[bulrush]

It's not corny to be human and have feelings.

On the other hand, if you told a stranger on the bus about that genital wart that's been bothering you, that might be a little uncomfortable. :)

[yukon55]

that is true... i still am look for many more years with him after all he is famliy

[huntermj]

my genital warts are between me and my doctor.

[crashdive123]

Tmi...........

[erunkiswldrnssurvival]

[huntermj]

my genital warts are between me and my doctor.

What the heck was i posting?
I don't have genital warts and am still laughing about this post.
I'm sure on another thread that statement would be appropriate but ..........
The morel is don't drink and post!

[crashdive123]

Ummmmmm - yeah - that's the story I'd stick to.:D

[huntermj]

I'm sorry but i have looked at this a few times and laugh when i read it. I Know i wrote it but it is the funniest nonsequetor that i have ever read.

[crashdive123]

We all just figured that you were......well......proud of em.

[huntermj]

Again, don't drink and post! This goes out to all you youngsters who think drinking and posting sounds cool. You could end up posting to the wrong thread and everyone thinks you have herpes. O.K. What thread would / could that fit into?

[nell67]

LMAO @ huntermj,you know,you coulda always just deleted the post,then everyone would have thought Crash was losing it when he posted TMI!!!!

But at least you can sit back and laugh at yourself,most would have been going>>>>:eek::eek::eek::eek:!

[crashdive123]

my genital warts are between me and my doctor.

Just in case Nell gave you any ideas...........

[huntermj]

I could have deleted but i enjoy my screw ups. Ask me about the time i set my toilet on fire. Now thats funny!

[crashdive123]

When you light f***s it's best not to do it in a confined space.

[huntermj]

O.K ,i read that the only way to completely kill the the germs in the toilet is to use a bit of lighter fluid and light it. i may have used a bit too much lighter fluid and the fire might have gone on for longer then i wanted. well i replaced the oak seat and used the fan to air out the place. At least it makes for a funny storie. Can toilets explode when flushed when they are on fire?

[crashdive123]

May I recommend just flushing in the future.;)

[huntermj]

NO! All germs must be killed>

[nell67]

Try bleach,no need to light it,just let it sit for a bit,brush,and flush.

[huntermj]

If i cant laugh at my self i have no right to laugh at others.

[Rick]

I don't think anything on this post is weird. Now, if you had named your warts, that would have been weird! Really weird!!

[yukon55]

I could have deleted but i enjoy my screw ups. Ask me about the time i set my toilet on fire. Now thats funny!
