2D2K Knife

**crashdive123** · 01-21-2010, 05:52 PM

Since the knife I sent 2D2K was stolen, I’m finishing up a replacement for it. Should be in the mail by Monday at the latest. I learned a lesson with the last one. If you are going to insure it, require a signature, otherwise the post office will deny any responsibility.

Looking good. Hope you have better luck shipping this time

I can't wait, to walk around with it, and ask my other half if it makes me look fat!!!

Thanks again, crash.
I hope that soon, the good things that you do for people, come back to you ten fold.

Sorry to hear it was stolen. But if you think I REALLY have it I'll give it back.

Since 2D2K is unable to properly secure a knife of that magnitude, perhaps you should consider sending it to me instead.

Dang it! Now not only do I have to hang around his mail box again, now I'll have to forge his name to it. Sheeeeeesh!

Crash, do you use a press when you make your scales? I love the looks of them and have saved some old blue jeans but havnt got around to try it yet. Nice work.....once again Crash!

I press it between two 1 X 4's and use three large c-clamps - tightening them to the point where any tighter would probably split the wood.

...and making certain his thumbs aren't between the 1 X 4's.

**crashdive123** · 01-22-2010, 05:54 PM

Not twice anyway.

**Camp10** · 01-22-2010, 05:54 PM

Does the resin pull off from the wood easy or do you use wax paper to keep this from happening?

**Rick** · 01-22-2010, 06:04 PM

I don't know about that but you'd probably loose a nail if you clamped your thumb in there.

Yeah and try explaining that to a doctor..."after I hand tightened the third C-clamp...."

Here's a little tutorial I did on the scales I make. http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...project&page=2 It starts on post 32. Since that posting, I've gone to bigger c-clamps and a little thicker wood so that I could apply more pressure. While I do most of my work in the back yard on a sheet of ply wood sitting on two saw horses - make sure you either do the clamping outside or have catch trays on both ends as you tighten the clamps. I've gotta explore that whole video and you tube thing - might be fun.
