Andy Wayne has one clock that just wants to be a little different than the others.

Horn Dog should stick with the Busse family for the rough play. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

So far I have only broken one Barkie, one Swamp Rat, and bent one Condor in reviews. I think that's not too bad, considering how many Barkies I have. I like to find out what the knives can do, and on rare occasions, I break one. SYKCO, Busse, SRKW, and BRKT all stand by their knives, so I'll get a new one.

Oh man H/D, you are tough on blades! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Vic, I almost bought the bowie after I saw your post on it. I'm glad I didn't now. LOL

Mike seems to think that there is a problem with the steel on that one. Maybe so, I have batoned with stick tang blades before and never had one break like that. But it would still sit pretty in your glass case, Ted. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> If you want a knife that can take all that every time, get a Dumpster Mutt! Sometimes tough is beautiful, too.

Vic just gives the knives a "fair game" review...no Noss destruction intended...but failure with Vic has to "impact"....your failures must bring out a "Maker to sweat" more than anyone else....if it does'nt work for you...I won't own it!! Keep up the great work!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Hi guys, just wandering throught! I got golok'd here today. Neat little knife.

I also find it wierd that I consider a knife that size little now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

your not alone. I consider any fixed blade smaller than a SOD to be a pocketknife.

I freak my friends out. One night during a party i pulled out my BK7 and casually cut off a slab of cheese, then spread mustard on bread with the knife. wiped off the blade, put it back in my shoulder holster and ate my snack without blinking an eye. The guests however were trying to catch their breath.

I'm down to 5 or 6 DM variations from 11 or 12 total DMs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

Bah, wait till you start collecting khukuris. Anything under 15" is a little knife.

Yeah, funny thing is that the best knife I have ever held and used was an 18 inch 36 ounce chiruwa Ang Khola. Balance was perfect and danced in the hand. Unfortunately the one missing piece of the puzzle was the HT and now I am without. I picked up a WWII (I think) but it does nothing for me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

^ you get it from Yhangdu? i'm sure if you contacted HI or Yhangdu and explained about the heat treat they would take care of you.
