Having a garden is great now that I'm retired and have the time to tend to it properly. Working 12-14 hours a day left no time for a garden in years past.

Good to see people fleeing places like NY. Welcome to Tennessee.

May God be with your little girl and her family.

You did a great job. The hardest thing is working up the nerve to do it. :rofl:

I've never had a problem with them.

I stayed out of the thread because I didn't want to fan the fire. It is pretty much done now because he is gone.
He is probably one of those who is aching for a revolution or civil war and if he is it is obvious he has never been to an area of conflict. He has probably never wondered if today is his last or had a close friend give his final breath for our country. Had he been he would be using every single tool available to prevent the very thing he longs for. There is nothing romantic or heroic about dragging our country into a war amongst itself. There are some, like him, that long for a time when they can kill a fellow American under the guise of patriotism but there is nothing less patriotic than killing your fellow countrymen when all other avenues of change have not been exhausted.
The thing is people like him are lazy, like fat slob sitting on the couch watching Honey Boo Boo reruns all day while eating potato chips lazy. They rarely want to even send an email or make a phone call even though it is a whole lot easier than fighting and definitely a lot safer.
Now don't get me wrong, I have ZERO problems with fighting for our country. But unless every other option has been exhausted I will not pick up arms and kill my fellow Americans.
That guy is a loser like his father and his father's father. I started my military career on hill 881 and ended it after serving proudly in Desert Storm. People like me don't need some FB smart ass questioning our patriotism. I've always done what needed to be done under less than perfect circumstances. I'm sure as long as I'm able I'll do the same if required. There's no joy in killing no matter what the circumstances. People that have only done it playing video games have no fucking idea.

Most gun stores already have video cameras in place. Hell anymore, most stores in general have video surveillance!

This will be a great thread to follow since GT's work turns out top notch. It's hard to get a idea of the knife size in the pictures. How long is blade? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
Total length is just over 10" with a blade length of about 5 1/2".

My filing setup is pretty much identical. It really shows that you can make some really nice stuff with a little patience and some simple tooling.
Lots of elbow grease and lots of patience. ;) Since it's a hobby I can't afford one of those fancy $2500 grinders with all of those attachments. If I had one of those I could cut the production time down to practically nothing. :lol:

Forgive my ignorance... Is the rod taped to the file just there as something to hold so you can use the full length of the file?
The rod is part of the simple jig and allows it to follow the preset angle.

I hear a pack of them howling nearly every evening down back behind my place. I do live out in the sticks a bit and I know for a fact there's deer everywhere back there so..... I have seen two foxes out in the tree line behind my house in the last couple of weeks. They are very healthy looking critters.

Geez... I never shoulda' popped my head into this forum a few weeks ago... been here on TGO for years and never really looked in here. I've always liked pocket folders and now I'm on the hook for 2 ProTech knives! Until now, the most expensive knife I've ever bought was $46. Now I'll have two knives that together cost more than my first new Smith & Wesson! :stunned:
Now you go and do this to me, Gran Torino! I never cared much for fixed blades before, but I saw the two you posted awhile ago and thought "that's cool." Then you show us THIS beast/beauty! You're killin' me smalls! :rant: :rofl:
But seriously... that thing is awesome.
:rofl: Sorry man.

That looks great. What is blade length and overall length?
The blade is about 4" and overall length is a tad over 8".
-
Thanks so much for all the kind words everyone.

It's acid dipped and stone washed 1084 carbon steel professionally heated treat to 59-60RC. I also gave it the flame accent at the blade edge and added a "cave man" look at the top and sides of the spine and has jimping on the spine as well. It has green canvas micarta scales with yellow G10 liners
with stainless corby fasteners and a stainless lanyard hole.
