That is one of the finest blades I have ever seen.

Thanks. Not bad for a first try at knifemaking, huh?

Still no word from Dan or Patti about a job however. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Well, I'm just about done with the prototype, so I thought I'd post a pic and get some feedback.

Some of the specs and features:

* 14" blade from duct tape to tip, longer than the SY Dog Father
* corrugated cardboard technology (CCT)
* finger-choil allows grip for close-in work
* duct tape can withstand winds up to 100 mph
* guaranteed not to rust in any climate or any conditions
* handle can double as toilet-paper roll
* reflective blade can double as signal mirror

Dan, if my work is as impressive as I think it is, I'll try and get a resume down your way. You guys hiring?

LOL, you are killing me. Thank goodness you did not make a folded helmet to go with it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I am so sorry that we do not have an opening for someone with such a creative talent.

Nice work. I see the temper lines on that blade. You must have shaken up a lukewarm Mountain Dew for that effect.

Looking forward to the push cut tests.

Do you craft your own Corndog Sticks, or do you shop those in from elsewhere?

Thanks Guyon,
The tempering protocol and corndog sticks are proprietary.. so can't really comment further <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
..as an up and coming performance knifemaker yourself.. you understand <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

But I must say.. your duct tape construction has the edge in lateral strength!
Cheers.. nuke on!

tony22r, are you getting kickbacks from Taco Bell?

I knew I should have tried harder to secure a sponsor/collaborator.

Hmmm... maybe I'll try to get ahold of Victoria's Secret. The Foil Father would look good in a red silk sheath. And think of the perks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Good news. Pepsi-Co has signed on as a sponsor.

That means I'll be changing the Foil Father's handle to aluminum (think Pepsi can).

For those of you who prefer the CCT handles (and I've received virtually hundreds of PM's praising them), I apologize. I was in negotiations with both Charmin and Angel Soft, but they just couldn't compete with Pepsi when it came to sponsor $$$.

Call me a sell-out, but then realize that I get free Pepsi products for life.
