    Cool. I like mine. The new blade shape is a bit different. Obviously you like it if you've kept it for that long!

    It had more belly but has been honed away over the years. Like it - sentimental and practical.
    You aroused my interest - have just ordered another one but in VG10 (made in Japan version).

    Finished out an old prototype I've been sitting on for a while. Designed to be a Westcoast/ wet environment knife. All synthetic with a good corrosion resistant steel. Should last a lifetime in even wet nasty environments.

    G10 handles and guard, elmax steel @ 60 hrc.

    Doesn't have a home if anyone wants it, otherwise will go into my collection

    Wow. I had one just like that in my youth. And no I wasn’t in the girl guides fellahs, I was a five minute Boy Scout.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Not a knife, but it will see a heap of them.

    Some welding required.

    And a motor, a VFD, some wheels, belts......

    Hi John

    Plans from Jer Schmidt https://jerswoodshop.com/gen-2-belt-grinder/

    I'm making it out of 304ss as my workshop is non-ferrous. This will probably the only stainless belt grinder on the planet, but I don't let the guys do NF homejobs, so the boss had better follow the rules also I think.
