This is made from 1095 carbon steel 1/4" thick. It has an 8/14" blade with a total length of about 14". It's professionally heat treated to a RC 59-60. The scales are stabilized mineral stained Afzelia Xylay sanded to 1000 grit and oiled with Scandinavian tung oil. They came out pretty sweet. They are mechanically fastened with as well as epoxied. It has be lightly acid dipped and sanded with 1000 grit paper. It has nice jimping on the spine as well as a swedge.......unsharpened. It comes with a black kydex sheath and is drilled for a large Blade Tech TekLoc which is not included. I've been wanting to make something of this design and finally got around to it. It's a pretty cool knife. It's available.

Old lady has one. It's accurate and reliable but she does bark loud and bite hard So does the Kimber.

Finished up this fun design last night, except for sharpening. 9 1/4" overall with a 4 1/2 " blade of 01 steel. Yellow, OD Green, and Coyote Brown Micarta scales with brass pins and Toxic Green liners. This blade design might not be for everybody with the bottle opener and Pommel, but this design just kinda morphed as I was making it! I am really jazzed about it and so is the new owner that I will deliver it to tomorrow. Here it is for your critiques and viewing pleasure!!

You may want to move back to TN.

Well, excuse me all over the place, I thought it was uber unique. I'll lower the reserve on it to $10K, good deal for one of youse guys.   - OS

....ohh and when casting, keep a napkin around your sammich.

I never drink more than a sixer and always keep the ashtray on the opposite side of the bench from my powder.

I apologize for the long post but I thought everyone would appreciate the details.    Some of you may recall my post a few months back where we thought someone tried to break in. Things have progressed since then. Back in December I caught 3 little thugs trying to break into my neighbors house(right next door). My dog did a great job of alerting me and I just happened to be working from home that day. Cops caught all 3.    2 doors down from me lives a middle aged woman with a daughter in her 20's and a son with autism. On Thursday at 11:15am the daughter was home alone and asleep in her room when the doorbell rang. By the time she got to the door and looked through the peephole she saw a black male walking back to a car parked in the street. She watched them closely but decided they were leaving and went to lay back down. As soon as she hit the bed another knock followed. She went back to the door and looked through the peep to see a massive black male. At this point she backed away and went back to the hallway when the door was kicked in. One kick was all it took. At that point she screamed "WHAT THE F*** ". Amazingly the guy immediately ran out the door and the car fled. They have not been caught yet. She didn't get a plate number but did get excellent descriptions of both men and the car.    Since they live alone their strategy is that they never open the door for anyone. Also, she didn't want to say anything to them because she didn't want them to realize it was a woman home alone. My fiance and I have the same strategy. If someone knocks while I'm gone she goes to the door armed and looks through the peep hole but doesn't say anything. I think this will change in the future. Also, instead of standing in front of the door where you could be shot or hit in the face(with the door) I'm going to have her look through a window.   Here is my advice-most of this you have heard before.   - Reinforce your door. The door was fine but the frame was completely destroyed.  -If someone knocks, let people know you are home without opening the door.   -Ask neighbors who are home during the day to keep their eyes peeled( if you live in a neighborhood).  -have a pistol on you or near you. If your gun is at the other end of the house it won't due you a damn bit of good. -Get a security system and a guard dog. I have both and I wonder if it's why they picked my neighbors house. Maybe they saw the security sign in my yard. -The sheriff recommended leaving a car in the driveway during the day. My neighbor had hers in the garage so they obviously thought no one was home.   Since this happened I've talked to many of my neighbors. I was happy to hear some are already armed and the ones who are not are planning on buying their first firearm(including the victims).    Also, take a look at the crime in my neighborhood in the past 6 months.     Total Assault 2 Burglary 5 Theft 7 Stolen Vehicle 1 Property Crime 5   20

If I'm going for hot chicken, I'm going to Prince's. Served with attitude and community, the way it should be. If I'm going to Bolton's, then I'm getting a fish sandwich.

You need to move. Everything you have posted in the last six months would make me nervous as hell.

Every time I read this, in my head I hear the "Me" portion of the conversation in Hank Hill's voice. Am I the only one?

What in the heck is that little girl touching?!?

OGOD mine are haunted by a liberal!!!! THE BULLET ALWAYS LANDS LEFT OF TARGET LOL Or it could be me having a hard time breaking myself from using the Weaver stance lol

Middle Tennessee Shooters Club in Manchester will be holding a steel match on Sunday March 15th. It will consist of 5 field courses of reactive steel targets with a total round count of 120. There will be pistol divisions for production, limited, and open. Shotgun divisions for standard and open and a pistol caliber carbine division. (No full autos.) Registration starts at 11:00 and ends at noon. $10 for MTSC members and $15 for non members. You may shoot multiple divisions but the entry fee is the same for each gun.

  Hmmm.  My company has a big supply-chain organization but I don't know a whole lot about it.  I'd be glad to ask some questions for you.   I also have a friend who used to work in the logistics (shipping) world here.  I'll ask him for some info.

I knew that asshat priest would screw them somehow.

A www Noah....why the long face?

I don't really care much what the guy at the table next to me is wearing, I'm there to eat. If you want hot chicken go to Princes and get the original. I live The Pharmacy but more for the house made Wurst, which is incredible.

These guys don't have the mental capacity to dig ditches. So when they get put in "charge" they go crazy. There is no other excuse for being such dicks. What harm could come from someone shooting a suppressor, legal or otherwise? I can understand not allowing full auto, but suppressors? It just shows you they have know basic understanding of them.

Well it looks like the criminal thugs intimidation in Ferguson is working. A black man shoots two citizens in a crowd (cops or not) and he is charged with assault in the first degree. If it had been a white man shooting blacks in the crowd the charge would have been attempted murder/hate crime/ some type of terrorist charge and Federal Civil rights charges.

She's looking over your shoulder, huh? :rofl:

I literally just got done cleaning and polishing and took a 2 block run just to warm it up.  I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow or I would be riding as well.  Will probably only work half a day now that I think of it.  :up:

  Agreed.  I often forget to mention it because until recently it was a collector's item -- but sig did so well colt decided to start making them again...  as said try a few, see if one has some slight edge over the other for your personal tastes.

Just got home after a couple weeks abroad and had a nice present waiting for me.  At first I couldn't think what I ordered that would have come in a smaller box (I usually go on spending sprees while bored at night over there and all I do is surf looking for things I don't need) and I was pleasantly surprised to see my Runt.  It's much smaller than I was expecting (and I expected small after reading some of the comments), but I love the size.  I have a ZT350 I use from time to time, but this is the perfect carry knife.   Thanks again Willis!  Now to meetup and take a ride with our bikes sometime.

Unfortunate, but true. However, the food in East Nashville is amazing. Don't miss out on good dining experiences just because of the locals. :lol:

If you want hot, head down to east nashville and grab some Boltons Hot Chicken. Most of the 'hipper' hot chicken joints make it either to bland or they just jump up the heat to stupid proportions for the novelty. Boltons is a family business making it the way they eat it.   Another member here turned me onto back to cuba cafe which is friggin amazing for a low key eatery.as well. Call and make sure they have cuban sandwiches before you head down.

Unreal the stupidity. :shake:   If I worked there, I'd encourage suppressors. Less noise is better for everyone! :up: 

FTFY!

Flagged it.

Fixed it for you.

This isn't asinine its at least assaten or eleven!

GP,   For reference, 3 thou (.003) is about the thickness of a sheet of notebook paper.  I usually engrave them a hundredth.  It's still super subtle.  If you know you're going to cerakote I highly recommend blasting before engraving.  cerakote if applied properly will not fill this however you can inadvertently spray it thick and it will dull it considerably.    Regardless, I engrave until I hit the base and then go the hundredth after. Your thickness needs to be from base not from top coat as that will vary product to product.   If you need someone to engrave and/or blast I do both.  NFA engraving is $35 and blast would be $20.  I'm in Oak Ridge west side of Knoxville if you're ever up this way or of course you can ship to me and I can ship back.   Good luck

You are a wise individual.  You nailed it!

In other news, Generalissimo Francisco Frano is still dead...

LOL

My ex-wife had a mood ring, it would leave a red mark on my face whenever she was mad.

nothing wrong with a Rock Island 1911,  just not going to pay 1250 for it.

I think it would be worth losing too. And it would very beneficial, for the leadership to know the reason she lost and who caused it. Personally, I think the Republican Leadership in Nashville sees us as a necessary evil to be courted during the election and ignored the rest of the time. Its the same way the Democrats treat the African American and LGBT vote.

Harwell is the weak link...  She is ripe for being put out of a job, it wouldn't be too hard to successfully challenge her the primary by going hard right, but we'd loose the seat in the general election. But honestly I think it would be worth loosing the seat.  

My old FJR still speaks to me in my dreams... ;) great bikes.

Oh hell no.   My Road King does not do snow. Now my TW-200 may ... in an emergency.  :pleased:

Only if not looking for a divorce.

  Unfortunately, this approach has practically ZERO effect on people who are immersed in their own self-importance and sense of superiority-- which describes the current leadership oligarchy.   Anything short of a political bitch-slap (losing an election) is ineffective, and we just missed our opportunity this last cycle.   Get used to it, at least for the foreseeable future. As long as RINOS call the shots, we will be fed occasional crumbs of "feel-good" gun legislation just enough for them to proclaim how pro-2A they are come re-election time.   We were incredibly lucky that the knife legislation went through last year... honestly, I think the bulk of them didn't even read it.

Out of the 7 or so Keltecs I have had over the years the only one I have hung on to is the P32.  I tried many mouse guns but have yet to find one as thin, light weight with reliability as the P32.  

No words needed. Self explanatory!!     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFaLokC9hqk

I only got one mag with it so I'm sure it's been worked in a little so should be fine I would think. But I'll look into the tweaking via search, thanks for the info. I figure if I'm ever on a hill and my truck won't stay, I'll throw that mag under the wheel lol You are so right! I was gonna post this picture in the OP and forgot HA HA! LMAO Not in a million years! And as a Glock owner I will say Glocks aren't pretty but these tanks here are crossed between a hat full of buttholes and raccoon embryo!

You might think about different ways to approach him that would make him feel if he did make a change that it was more his idea. Many times our elders don't like to accept ideas from their children but will do things that they feel are more their own ideas............jmho

What you REALLY want is a Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle. Available in either 7.62x51 or 5.56x45. Go for the 7.62 version.
