You asked for them and now you've got them!

Here are some random pics of the destructive testing being done to the Dog Father. Check out the edge on this Monster Dog after chopping on a concrete block for nearly 10 minutes! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> SR-77 really shines! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> The rope cutting came as a big surprise to everyone with the high number of cuts made!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Wow!

I may not sell any of these blades because I want to keep them all for myself! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dan

Cool! That thing is a pit-bull of a knife! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Can't wait!

I may have to do some side by side testing with my beloved Battle Rat...

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

AWESOME !!!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Are they ready to ship yet? Are they ready to ship yet? Are they ready to ship yet? The Pack is HUNGRY for that awesome piece of steel!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Great work !! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Stay calm, take a deep breath. Now exhale slowly. OK, I am ready.

SEND ME ONE NOW!

Awesome pics,

Thanks for the bend test.

Any word on LE pricing?

I'll take...

So how many rope cuts were made? And when do the rest of us get to chop cinder blocks?

You know even with the thought of the DF going brown with rust and being a heavy lump of steel to hump around the cuds- those pics still make me think perhaps my brilliant Tram Bolo may need an upgrade...

Dan how much does the DF weigh in grams please??

Grams schams this hunk of steel deserves to be weighed in ounces.

Yep but as American and British imperial measures often differ that wouldn't be very helpfull! Those cunning French grams are constant all over...

How true. My sailboat seems to be a hodgepodge of SAE, Metric, and British Imperial measurements. My water tank is in US gallons, however the fuel tank is in Imperial gallons. The exterior rigging and deck hardware is in SAE measurements, but the engine and transmission are in metric. Go figure!




Jerry

I'll TAKE it!

charge it to my CC.. it should still be on file from last time..

ounces grams.. i don't care.. I just WANT one!

Looks awesome! I can't wait to get one.

Not only that, but it probably measures speed in nautical miles per hour. My personal favorite is furlongs per fortnight.

Rich it sounds like you have heard of the British 'Royal Mail' postal service! They do furlongs per fortnight if they are feeling industrious!!

Sounds like the mail service just about everywhere Paul. They are never fast enough, unless they are bring bills!

1 f/f is almost exactly equal to 1 centimeter per minute; therefore, furlongs per fortnight would be a good unit of measurement for a snail’s pace, which ranges from a bit less than 1 f/f to about 30.5 f/f.

generic terms 1/8th mile every 14 days

It's selectable. I can go knots/hour or miles per hour. On the Great Lakes, and down the Intracostal Waterway everything is expressed in miles in terms of distance, speed etc.... On the open ocean it's done in knots. What really throws me is when they express distance/speed in terms of cables.

Dan's good at cutting cables! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Geeze this is crazy.. In the last month or so I have got a Tops Armeggeddon and two Busse FBM's, not to mention two smaller fixed blades. Now these pics are making me want a Dog Father!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

this is the first thread of the dog father in action and it's off topic halfway down the first page?!!?

lets see some more pics and hear some details of the test!!!! how soon till the youtube vids?

Does this mean they're going up tomorrow for sale? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I go out and buy a new 4 Runner and come home to this!!!!!! Today IS a great day!

Someone BRING IT!!!!

Great taste in trucks and knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Dog Father vs. 4 Runner

Which would win?

Would Toyota replace your truck afterward?

I wish Dan would cut the leashes and let the DogFathers run to us!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I got the Warranty...too bad it isn't as good as the one on my knives!!! Now lets get these Dogs Barking!!!! I WANT THAT BEAST!!!!

You should get 250,000 miles out of it before the timing belt goes. other than that maybe A couple oem brake pad sets. and tires. Still you can't come close to the japanese made yotas. had a 91 celica, rsx type s an (acura) and now toyota tacoma TRD. Quality has dropped the more American parts we put in these things. Good news is they are still better than the major three. Now bout them knives............... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/chill.gif" alt="" />

oh hell yeah! gimme! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/chill.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />

That's very impressive. Can't wait to order mine.

I'm easily distracted; blame my DNA. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />




Jerry

I am waiting for the real tests. Most importantly how far can it flex before it takes a permenant set? before it breaks? Those are the 2 big ones for me.

Happy Birthday Jerrwhy!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Happy Birthday Jerry....wouldn't it be great to have the Dog Father released on your Birthday!!!!!!

We are still counting...stay tuned for more info

Dan

Dan - count FASTER, and PLEASE release the DogFather for sale!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Dog Father vs. Chuck Norris?

Dog Father Certainly!!!

tough call...chuck norris knows the last digit of pi. that's dangerous.

Many Thanks.

Yes indeed it would. Then I could use it to chop up my Baskin Robbins Ice cream cake.




Jerry

I gotta agree with you there. Plus Chuck can divide by Zero.

hah, got into a pretty big disagreement once when i told someone that. "anyone can" was his response.

on topic, look at that edge. that image rocks. that image cinder blocks.

WOOHOO!!!!!!

I can't wait. This is gonna be a great knife.

me neither! think they did corrosion testing? i bet it still stacks up pretty well to a problem that's overblown anyway.

sr77 is better at staying shiny than 1095 anyway...

Corrosion is a problem that is easy to beat and I cannot understand why so many people make it sound like a show stopper. There are plenty of great corrosion prevention products on the market, any of them will keep your sr77 (or any other carbon steel blade) shiny and pretty for a long time to come.

With the res-C handles at least the rust can't eat the tang (out of sight) on these knives. My Kabar tang broke that way mostly...

Renwax seems a popular choice any other good ones?

I, for one, am impressed.
I may end up getting both versions, like i did with the scrapper.
Who am I kidding, of course I will...

I like the visuals of the bend test. It is nice to see the extremes our soo-to-be favorite blade can be taken to.

I'm beginning to suffer from "What happens if I miss the Dog Father" anxiety.

I use Briwax...LOTS cheaper!!!

Thanks LF I'll look for a UK supplier.. I may well get a DF so I want to keep it nice and shiny!

Shiny?? Shiny??

Huh??

Wha??

really?? I plan on beating mine to death!!!!!

BTW...

Paul..I got my Briwax from a furniture place...1 can lasts for years!

LF mine (DF) will be a user too, just I HATE rust like I hate micarta! My S6 is beat up and so will my DF be! My SS4 is cherished.., the INFI price effect!

bring it!!!!!!!

Soooo how far before a permanent bend?

I second that question, how far can it go and still return to true?
This blade really impresses the heck out of me. I like it more and more each day.

Gravelface,
i just caught that you bough a 4runner; nice choice!!

Thanks, I wish I would have gotten the 4WD version, but insurance is insane and I have a Bowie or 2 to fund!

Dave,
I just took a look at the Briwax web site and darn if there are not a good half dozen variation of Briwax out there. Which one do you use?

Rich

2wD and a decent winch is better than 4WD 95% of the time. Less moving parts means less to break. These jap cars are nice as much as I like 5.0's and my 65 ford
my moms 03 honda SIR is way faster, handles better, stops on a dime and is comfy and hauls as much gear as a mini van, it even gets decent mileage.

I am going to try some Briwax, I have always wanted to try renwax but the price and difficulty finding it put me off. Thanks guys.

The briwax I have is called

Briwax original "Neutral"

Works like a charm!!!

We will provide more info shortly

4runner...SWEET! Nice choice!

Dan

Great pics! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Welcome back Andy !! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

well Andy.. what are your thoughts on that sr-77 chopper??
you prolly have a big "chopping contest" set up against all your rats?

Thanks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />


It looks great. I was really impressed after I saw what my SR77 Hawk did. Dunno if I’ll get one though…how many similar sized nearly indestructable knives do you need? (All of them? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ) It’s pretty similar in size/style to my BR, and I’ve not had any problems with it, so I dunno that I really need anything “tougher”. I’m trying to save for a new PDA phone, and I also would like to get a new gun. I only make like $50 a week or so, so it takes a long time for me to save up for stuff I want. The majority of everything I’ve made in the past year has gone to purchase Rats. And I still need to come up with the $ for my SS4 that's being held for me. It’d be nice to have some cash for something else besides knives.

What's this thread doing on page-2?

That’s what happens when all the posts won’t fit on page one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

We'd better keep this thread up high on page one for a while!

BUMP!!!!!

BRING!!!!

IT!!!!!

it's one of those days, i'm hurtin bad for that sucka.

EDIT: awesome, check out the caliber of my post count: 223. goes well with my name, eh? two left.

Patterns in your post count??
Does that mean that when I see dogs in my post, that something is wrong? LOL!

No, that's just the natural state of being for a yard nut!

Oh, OK. Whew.... I was starting to get worried!! Now, I feel much better.

Glad I set your mind to rest! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

You did indeed!! What would I do with out ya Paul?
