I had this given to me in hopes that it could be repaired. It is a BUCK 124 made in the USA. Super cool knife, just needs a handle repair. Anyone have experience welding these? Whenever I weld it looks like cat poo, but I am willing to try again if it can be done. [img]http://i50.tinypic.com/2r5su91.jpg[/img]

Thanks guys, will do. I have respect for all living creatures and this makes me mad.

On my way home, I spotted a deer on the side of the road. I slowed down to see it ans saw that the antlers had been taken as well as the backstraps. Nothing else was taken and the deer was half wrapped in plastic and had been dumped. I hate to see something like this. I support hunting, but not like that. I wonder if I should contact TWRA. Anyone have any thoughts or advice?

Indeed it is the one we made. My son would claim he did all the work, but we know the truth. There is no greater satisfaction than seeing the knife you helped forge slice through a gallon jug like a hot knife through butter!

I love watching all the reactions! Funny stuff!

I took my class at Guns and Leather. Go with them.

I carry my 23 daily. Best gun ever.

Challenge accepted! I don't drink soda, so I used a fabric softener gallon jug. [url="http://s1295.beta.photobucket.com/user/JakFiddler/media/IMG_1919.mp4.html"]http://s1295.beta.ph...G_1919.mp4.html[/url]

There is no greater gift than Brut and a pocketknife...

Hope she is ok. Let me know if I can help.

I don't believe we should kill thieves. Instead we should cut off their hands.

Redneck Genius!

I'm reading the book on Heimo Korth right now. Dude is amazing.

I never have, but I think I would cook the neck with the bones and tear off afterwards. I always crock pot the neck...

Update: I ate clover and it tastes horrid. If God had wanted me to be a vegetarian, he would have made me a rabbit.

It is better to have it and not need it (cond. 1), than to need it and not have it (cond.3).

200 degrees, and wrap in bacon. I have no idea how long. I use a meat thermometer and check periodically. Thinking about it is making me hungry.

I've been to one black friday and will never go again, never. I will pick 2.

No experience with one, but I love that wood on the handle!

I have 2 kids myself and the best thing I ever did was talk to them about guns. I know your child is too young for that, so just be safe until then. Just a few weeks ago we were at a empty house where I was doing some work and my son came to me and said, "dad, there is a gun in here". I had been through the house at least 10 times and never saw anything. I asked if he was serious and he said he was and it was a rifle of some sort. He did not touch it, instead he came and got me right away. Turned out to be a bb rifle hidden behind a door. I praised him for his good decision and ended up giving him the gun.

I really dislike soups, but this is a good survival option.

I understand why I have to work, but I disagree on stores being open. Has all the sense left America?

My son and I spent the weekend with Spots and his family. I’ll have to admit that at first I was skeptical. Who would invite a stranger to their place, teach them to blacksmith, and let them keep whatever they make? Spots and his dad did just that. The hospitality my son and I were shown was reminiscent of the kind of neighbors I had growing up. They are the type of people who will do anything for anyone and not ask a thing in return. We arrived Saturday morning and started to Hardees to have some breakfast. After breakfast we headed to the forge. Within the 1[sup]st[/sup] hour, we had learned the basics of forge building and about the best methods for burning with coal. By the end of the 2[sup]nd[/sup] hour, I had a nearly completed knife! My son has a school project coming up that requires him to make a musical instrument. Spots assisted him in forging a dinner bell style triangle. After that, Spots was beginning to forge a bowie knife. My son stated that he would like to also make one. Spots then offered to give my son the one he was starting if he would help make it! All three of us worked on it over the course of the two days and Spots made a matching tomahawk to give to my son that matched the Bowie! That night we all slept very soundly. The next day we continued to work on our projects and started a few new projects. By the end of the second day, we had two completed knives, the matching bowie/hawk set, two musical triangles, and three small blades that I am going to finish and insert into handles. We took all these items home and the only thing asked in return was a review of his class and the items. The generosity of Spots and his dad will never be forgotten. In two days I gained knowledge, skills, and new friends. My son and I hope to make it out again real soon! Additionally, my son wrote a review. I have transcribed it word for word: “I loved smithing from the start. Jordan taught me all I needed to know about smithing, from hammering to grinding and from heating to shaping. He looked like John Henry pounding the metal into whatever he liked. It taught me to understand Tennessee’s main art of the old times. I think it is a good way to understand our past, we use it in our present, and our future, well, that’s something we need to find out ourselves.” [img]http://i49.tinypic.com/2uj17r5.jpg[/img] [img]http://i47.tinypic.com/35laf4z.jpg[/img] [img]http://i45.tinypic.com/123mmxi.jpg[/img]
