I have one...plus a 9 Long and a .45 which I carry. Great little pistolas....all of them.

Like everyone else I recommend the APEX offerings. I have 3 of them and they are awesome.

Tried to cut the grass but it rained.....a lot. So damn the bad luck....I went out to the shop and ground a couple of blades out of some steel....at least the initial grind anyway.

Ran across this site on Facebook. The non-resident permit is good in our state and some surrounding states. Anyone know more about it?
I had one and yes they are good here. But as Hozzie pointed out Tennessee wants their tax money so if you choose to live here you got 6 months to do it.
There are a lot of other state's permits (even out of state) that are good in our state, but not if you are a TN resident. If you are a TN resident, you must get a TN HCP within 6 months of becoming a resident. Not sure all of the other surrounding states you are referring to, but your TN HCP is most likely good in those States as well. FL has a similar out of state permit to AZ.

Another beheading , another American , is there a button somewhere besides the voting booth I can push to rid the earth of this random scum ?
If there is let me know.

A good portion of America (and the world for that matter) has no soul, no ethics and no inhibitions anymore.
Anyone can be offended for any reason and somewhere there is someone that will back them up as being the victim. Somewhere a group is waiting for this women to come to the spotlight so they can show us how unreasonable you were.
Perfectly stated. :up:

If I am not mistaken, I think this little machine was used to do my scales. It think it worked pretty good.

Acid washing of the blade was done with ferric chloride and vinegar solution.
I've looked at that machine but I just have no addition room for it and the vats and all to set it up for oxidizing. It's why I was hoping to find someone near that does it and doesn't mind small orders.

I Went to Kroger's website and sent them a big THANK YOU comment for telling MDA to go pound sand...
Thanks for the link. So did I. :up:

I doubt Chad would be willing. His primary business is making and selling Damascus. He just shipped a big order to Boker. Secondary is cutting parts for mid techs. He has two cnc machines running to cut all the different parts for bad blood, graham, burch and others mid tech lines.
I'll give him a shout though and ask. He just helped me out cause of our friendship. It was more about me hanging out for the day.I understand. Thanks. :up:

TN knife maker Jon Graham has been making custom knives for a long time over in the Chattanooga area. He is a well respected craftsman and always has a waiting list going. Like many of the most popular makers right now, Jon was looking for a way to get more knives into people's hands. Well, he has licensed a few designs to CRKT but thats not what I mean. People want his work from him. The way many people are getting their work out there now is to send off a design to CNC and have the parts cut and mostly machined for them. This leaves final fit and finish for the maker. The popular term for this is mid-tech. Hence, GMT or Graham mid-tech.
Jon's first mid-tech was recently just before Blade 2014 with the majority of them being sold at the show. I was lucky enough to pick one up. These knives are half the cost of a full custom and a little more expensive or equal to the high end productions on the marker.
I traveled down to outside of Tupelo to my friend Chad Nichol's shop. I was fortunate enough to be on hand for the anodizing process. My first time seeing it done. Seems simple enough and way too much fun. Blue is a higher voltage so we ran it to blue first. Then put the frame halves into the tumbler until the blue was nearly gone from exposed areas. Turned the voltage down to get bronze and then redipped the frame halves. I really like the way that the frame came out. The little bits of blue that break through the bronze give it a bit of a worn look. And the bright blue screws, standoffs and pivot are a nice accent. The pivot was done at the same voltage as the other parts but it went a little purple. At some point I'll likely take it back down to plain Ti and then try to get it to match the standoffs and screws.Doing stuff like this is dangerous for my bank account because now I want to get a power supply and start playing around with other pieces.This is a really nice knife and I enjoy it a lot. Jon is already working on the second mid-tech which is going to be a version of his stubby razel.Graham makes some simply stunning blades and yours is no exception. Congratulations. :up: If you wouldn't mind tell me a bit about your friend Chad Nichols. He did a nice job with your anodizing and I've been looking for someone to do a little for me. Will he take small orders? Does he have a website?
And if you decide to get into this anodizing thing please let me know. I'd do it myself but I'm just not set up for it. I have no place to do it or maintain it. Thanks.

That's a right purdy pistola ya got there. Congratulations. :up:

Where is the pictures?

Another beautiful creation. Same here on the possible purchase interest, or at least maybe with something in the future. But need a pm of $ ranges before I could commit.
PM sent. Still available.

I spent 4 years in Tucson while the missus finished her military career and I can tell you first hand the border is as open as a farmers field up here. Many a morning I saw dozens of illegals strolling up the wash not a quarter mile from my house. We had the number of the local border patrol office on our fridge and we'd give them a call. Sometimes they would round them up but most times not so much. and we were 30 miles from the actual border.

A nice little skinner with micarta scales and lime green liners as per the customers request. I'm sure it will serve him well. The light and dark colors on the scales are due to the fact I had just oiled in and it wasn't completely dry when I took the pictures.

Ya think you could do "text" as in "In God We Trust" or "From My Cold Dead Hands"?
No....I'n not that talented yet. :( Although I'm sure I could get it professionally engraved but you would be responsible for the additional cost depending on the words, size of the engraving and the cost of the service.
-
Yet again, cool. Does the etching have any depth to it, or does it just give the appearance of depth?
Depending how long you etch will determine depth of etch. It this case the line you see running across the blade actually has depth to it. You can see it and feel it.
Thanks for all the kind words guys. I'm learning with every one I do. Anyone interested in this one? It is not yet spoken for.
-
Looks a lot like the one you made me , love it !
Except this one is a recurve and is considerably larger.
-
So here it is...my version of the recurved blade. It's 1/8" 1095 carbon steel heat treated professionally to RC59-60. As you can see it has nice large jimping to the front of the handle as well as within the handle on both the top and bottom. Even though the jimping is large it isn't rough on the fingers at all.The scales are cocobolo dymondwood and this thing if big.....right at 13" total length and a blade length of about 7". It has a nice long handle ....no wondering how your gonna grip it here.
It has a lanyard hole and the handle is held on mechanically as well as with epoxy.The finish is very unique and I really like how it turned out. Truth be told it's so different I'm not sure I could even recreate it again if I tried. it seems very well balanced and I've very happy the way it turned out.

You and me both my friend. These dirt bag animals deserve nothing more than the treatment they deal out. Anything more would be a total injustice. As far as a hate crime......see post #2.
