I went ahead and ground the blades into strikers today. Rick (I need an address) and Grundle have spoken for the first two. Three left to the first to respond. Post here and pm me a shipping address. I don't need a name if you don't want to share it. I'll use your screen name if you want. (Tennecedar Survival 123 Random St Anytown,USA)

disclaimer: These may be junk and you hate it. That's ok by me. It's free. I just wanted to make em. If you don't like it after you receive it, throw it away. :tongue_smilie:

I'll take one. sending PM now.

That wasn't my intent with these but I could see how that would be helpful with a production knife that just came out. As far as these things go... use em, abuse em, or lose em. Improve on it if you want to. Let me know how to improve it myself. My $.02 will give ya change back, but I value the opinion of folks here.

Looks like Gray Wolf has the 2nd one according to the thread. Not sure whom was supposed to get it next, and Beo is a bit busy for awhile.

List so far:

Rick
Grundle
Runs With Beer
Alpine Sapper

one to go

Hold on one sec. If it's alright with my parents I'll sign up for one

MatthewnOK got the last one. I'll Mail em out tomorrow at the post office.

Yes I was # 2, and really looking forward to putting it to work!

Thanks Crash, I was # 2.... with a bullet!

Ya lost me.

Grey Wolf, I believe when he referred to you it was that you had the 2nd pass around knife. All the strikers I've made so far are spoken for. Post# 26. If after everyone uses/destroys them and reports back all I did wrong, I'll make a new batch with their improvements incorporated. Those I'll post just like these. First people to pm me an address gets it. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Oh I read that wrong, Hey it happens at our age.... I need to get the pass around back from the person who was sewing the pouch to the sheath. The tape used just never would hold. Then I just need to put a new edge on it, then send it out. I put some goodies in the pouch. I even tested it out as a spear (outstanding!). I took it with me on that trip to the Rockies. Then I need to write the review. I for got all about it... But it's better and more equiped than it was.

They say the first thing to go is the mind. What was I talking about?

Tenn,

I would not mind one of them thar knife striker thingys. I have been saving up sawzaw blades, I'll send them to you if you want to make me one.

Some are the wood blades, others are the thin metal cutting blades. I just hate to throw them away.

I could probably do that. I'm just out of blades right now. Send me a couple. If you draw an outline of them on a piece of paper then show where/how to grind them I'll try my best. Send me a pm and I'll respond with my address.

grundle, you could have just asked me what's going on, instead of calling me a "rat". I waited for quite a while until Sarge sent it to me. Would you have called him a "rat"? Again you could have just asked in the pass around thread. It's not like I'm new here. I've been a member here since ( I think) Nov 07. Sharing my knowledge, and helping newer members, like you. But your rewarded with 2 strikers, from a generous member.

We could always revive the pass around knife, although last I saw 2 of them went the way of the rat.

weren't the pass around knives RAT brand knives?

Nope Cold Steel. My bad. (wrong forum, the other one's was) Man my mind is slippin.

No it was a good inexpensive ($20-$25) Knife. Made by Cold Steel, called the Bushman. But grundle probably does need 2 of two of your striker/knives. Tennecedar no worries, what your doing, by sharing is comendable. Glad to have you as a member.

Thank you but I made five and have five names. Each get one. I figured I would package them all up and then label them. I won't know who got what one.

I really don't want commendation . I have much more selfish ambitions. I want feedback!!! These guys can tell me what to do better and I'll take that and make myself a better one. There's catch see? I get the knowledge.

Tennecedar - make one for yourself too. That way you can use it and find out your personal likes and dislikes about the knife.
