I'm totally impressed with this knife. I'm considering buying one, I love it.
I saw a mention in the thread about a cap for the ends, what about a rubber expansion plug , cut it down to say 1/2 inch thick run a short bolt thru it put a wing nut on the other end and twist to tighten .
I'd like to try it out...Quote:

What happened ? Is this still going around ?
As far as I know, it's still in Canada with Flandersander.
I was just curious.Quote:

Yes,it sounds good in theory, but never seems to work out in practice. The problem is that both knives have vanished from the forum. It never seems to work out the way it's planned. :no:Quote:

It has already been dealt with. The knives are gone.
NOOOOOO....you mean to tell me...one of these folks who pleaded to get on the list...gave up the camaraderie,,,the fellowship,,,the absolute kindness of this forum...knowing full well what happened to the 1st knife...gave all this up AND his reputation for a $35.oo knife....that sux...
whoever took it sux and if you guys will bring him down here to me...i'll get my dau to help me outta this wheel chair, stomp a mud hole in his butt and walk it dry...what a jerk
i am extremely greatful to have found this place...i've spent countless hours reading the posts here...there seems to be a great deal of genuine friendship here...i'm very happy to be allowed on the fringes...i am confined here at home or at the VA...i must live vicariously through the people i meet online...the internet IS my only social contact....
this just gripes my butt, i'd have given my left nut to have been included in these tests, i've been involved in various r&d projects for years before this happened to me...know the barret light fifty...i was on the team that made the final decision for approval for use by our military before gulf war one...been there done that got the t-shirt....and..the script....
dang i hate a thief...i just realized how long a rant this is,,,i am so saddened by this thing i could just spit nails....ok...i'm done...
i apologize to the ladys' and the mods...and to the forum members...for the rant...
God Bless

You've got nothing to apologize for.
I'm kinda likin' this mud hole idea. I think that has promise.
Lee As far as I'm concerned you have nothing to apologize for. Honestly I wasn't on the list so I was unaware that it hadn't made the rounds as it was supposed to.:no:Quote:

As for the stomping part.... someone who would do that isn't worth staining the dirt on your boots. The Dirt has more pride than to be associated with someone of that ilk. So PLEASE give the dirt a break!:D
How about a knife Swap. This way those that wish to take part must buy a knife of set value or make one to be a part of the swap. Someone could be appointed to take all the names of those participating and draw pairs of names to be matched up for the swap.Quote:

If it goes well you could have one swap every quarter. One swap could be neck knives, the next 4" blades and so on but by specifying everyone receives an item of near equal value to the one they bought.
That's a very good idea, but.... (There's always a but.)Quote:

The person that drew my brother's name left the forum. So that individual got a bow, but sent nothing in return. It's a sad world we live in.
If something like this does happen, I would suggest making the qualifications of being in the swap have a membership time-length, post count, post quality (something simple like reputation could be used), and of course age for liability reasons that shows that this individual is less likely to take and run.
The swaps I have been involved in had restrictions in place and were a group of senior ppl and all ppl that contribute to the forums consistently over a 6 month period. The swaps have always been a success and those involved wanted to make certain that it was handled with respect and honesty.
I dont know how well the participants knew each other in the original post but I do think when you look back at a persons history on a site and see how they have contributed to the site will help in determining if this person is trust worthy.
Plz dont think I am talking of screening ppl here as I am not. Just saying that if the members of this forum wish to try this we know who is here and contributes reg. in a positive manner.
And while its true the above could happen like xanatos said but I am not about to let a thief dictate my sense of fun and charity.
