EDIT: and just for good measure, and since they are discounted on Knifecenter, today, I bought a second one.... :D
(Is it normal to get a good, bulletproof, lifetime warranty knife and then get a same one again, just because you want new one to keep at home as a 'back up'??? :D:D:D)
This is now on my wishlist!

That is one Purdy shive ya got there Vash!

If I spent that much on a knife my wife would use it on me! :D

scottmandue 02-13-2015 03:24 PM
Still have this sitting on the coffee table.

She said it's like the holy grail in Indiana jones," you get one choice, choose wisely"

I thought about it for almost two years. :)

You made a good decision!
What kind of wood are those scales? They are really nice.
Thanks for fueling my knife habit, like I need another itch to scratch...:)

burled walnut. i wanted black micarta, but handle choice was my lowest priority. i just didnt want bone, or antler.

Geronimo '74 02-14-2015 01:39 PM
I think on this knife burled walnut trumps any kind of micarta any day of the week!
( ditto for bone or antler)

Color me green, envy!

Are you hinting that you want me to post a photo of my Puma Skinner?
Well, if you insist...
Bought it well over 40 years ago at Gemco (remember that chain?) for $39+.
They're selling for well over $100 used these days.

two big ones arrived this week (thanks Slodave!)
They are paperslicing, hairpopping sharp right out of the box!

slodave 02-19-2015 10:29 PM
You are welcome! Sorry for the delay. Also sorry that customs dinged you. Tried to avoid that.

Geronimo '74 02-19-2015 10:33 PM
yeah, I know.
It was indicated as a gift, you did mention the price of the item. I saw it on the box.
Don't know why customs contacted me for the additional info, probably because they are just plain stupid ...
On a brighter note, I did manage to find a good (cheap) vendor in Belgium.
So I immediately ordered 2 Becker BK13 neck knives... :D:D
(Itching to buy another BK2 as well, like the first one you sent me)

Geronimo '74 02-19-2015 10:34 PM
This whole knife buying doesn't seem so challenging to me... :D:D

slodave 02-19-2015 10:40 PM
I printed the USPS label from my parents computer... I had to fill out all boxes to move to the next step. I HAD to enter a price on the web page. :D Whatever, glad it actually made it to you.

Trying to build a patina. Lemonade anyone?

Geronimo '74 03-14-2015 10:54 PM
There are lots of nice ways to force a patina on your blade.
Lemons, onions, vinegar, apple vinegar, tabasco...
I tried one with vinegar once but found it to be washed of rather easily..

How are you keeping it sharp, Vash? Stones, lansky, worksharp?
