2nd Pass Around Knife Rules and Regs...

[crashdive123]

It's not a big deal. I just was making sure Rick didn't skip us all and that it was still going to come around someday. After all, HE WAS NOT ON THE LIST AT ALL!! LOL.

I might add, that if he hadn't tracked it down you would never see it. Kind of a selfless act IMO - not on the list, yet worked at keeping it going for those that were on the list.

That's Rick all right...as long as it's not a twinkie or a danish(the pastry not the people) If that were the case Rick's only improvement would be in consumption!!!

I'm Sorry Rick I just couldn't pass that one up.

[Rick]

I did nibble on the sheath a bit but it wasn't very sweet.

All I did was take down the names as folks said they said they wanted to be a part. So, I guess it's in order. If someone has a better idea I'm open. I was just trying to get it rolling again. Still working on the first one but it may well be a lost cause. That little thief won't even answer my emails. Yeah, you Wildgoth. You little heathen!

I did some work on it this week-end. The sheath has me a bit perplexed. It's a nice sheath but it has no loops or anything to attach to a belt, etc. I think I'll work more on that than the knife.

[catfish10101]

Cool. You gonna post pics when you done with the work Rick?

[revaredneck]

i prefer my BOLO mechete unless im doing surgery on the critter.

[Rick]

Okay. This puppy is ready to roll. I just PM'd Cowboy and told him to send me his address and I'll get it in the mail to him. The sheath didn't have a belt loop on it so I added one. I'll be the first to tell you I'm not a sheath man so if any one has a hankerin' to redo it when they get it by all means, knock yourself out.

Here's what I started with. I removed the tape from the handle and from the pouch that had been taped to the sheath. It was a bit hard trying to match the cloth the sheath is made out of but I got pretty close.

Here's a pic with the belt loop attached.

I leveraged off of Pict's use of a screw eye and I've thrown in a package. The pouch contains some paracord and a couple of Alice clips. I had no idea how on earth to attach the pouch to the sheath so I didn't but I am sending everything along. I don't want to hold it up any longer. Especially since I'm not on the list.

Oh, the dimple in the handle isn't really there. Okay, well, maybe it is. Just call it a bad idea that didn't come to fruit.

[crashdive123]

Not seeing the back of the pouch - would a vertical strap sewn onto the front of the sheath from the top to the tip, and then the alice clips used horizontially to attach the pouch work?

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

I can guarantee it will see some work...Thanks to Rick for bringing it back to usable with the belt loop.. I'll post pics of some serious cutting.. and send it on it's way. I really hope Rick sharpened it! So far as attaching the bag? I kind of doubt it...But I may include something in the bag as a surprise for the next guy!LLOL

[Rick]

It could but the sheath is like a plastic material and is almost impossible to put a needle through it. I had to drill holes to sew the belt loop on.

[panch0]

I will make a kydex sheath for it, if that is ok with every one. I am new but good enough t be dangerous. I will donate the kydex.

edit: I just read you guys got it covered.

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

I have just received the knife as posted by (Rick). Appears it is all here...I will strap it on and head for the bush. Not sure wht the proposed time with the knife is but I am sure i can be finished in 2 weeks unless someone thinks it should be sooner. I will have to look ans see who is next. Thanks for the opportunity. So far I like the design and had tried to envision how the hollow handle was manufatured, I see now.

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

The first thing I am gonna add is a leg tie!

[Sarge47]

Not sure what the proposed time with the knife is but I am sure i can be finished in 2 weeks unless someone thinks it should be sooner.

I believe the time frame is 30 days, CS.

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

Thanks Sarge, I'll be done inside of 30 days for sure and will send it on....Looks to me like Catfish10101 is next. Catfish PM me the mailing address.

[flandersander]

Can you post the list again, I can't seem to find it in the thread. The knife looks good, can't wait to uh "break it in". Haha

[Rick]

Here ya' go. If anyone else wants a shot just shout.

[flandersander]

Just four? Well, hopefully it stands up to four guys worth of beating... yeah, i did just say that.

[crashdive123]

There's four left. Remember, this knife started out a year ago.

[Rick]

And anyone that wants to try it is welcome to as long as they follow the rules. That's just the ones that said they wanted to try their hand at it once it started back in circulation.

[flandersander]

A year ago?! Hot diggidy dafodile!
