No. I'm not footing the bill all myself anymore. People have been more than generous and have donated knives from their personal collection and some cash. The knife I really went into the hole on was the SOG seal 2000 underwater D-test. That one cost me over 5 grand to put together but it was a fun one.

Thanks

I'm still in search of my "perfect blade" I haven't found it nor can I make it, that tells me I'm either just plain addicted, or just a hard to please sob

Wow 5 g is a lot for a test, I'm real glad ya had fun on that then, If i tried that i woulda swallowed water and been a floater....

Do you have plans for a Swamp rat in your future?

LOL !! I also fell in the tank during a repair. It only had about 1 inch of water in it. I fell 8 feet to the bottom on my back. I broke 4 ribs two back bones and punctured a lung. I was in the hospital for 4 days and it took about 8 weeks to recover. Oh yeah it was a fun one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> It was in the end anyways.

I was going to test a Swamp Rat a while back. A person was going to sell me one at very low cost but I was putting all my money into the seal test. So I didn't buy it. I'm sure I'll get to testing a Swamp Rat at some point down the line.

lol, geez, maybe we better start an insurance fund for your family, Im glad you recovered!

ouch im going to ahve to check out this sog test.... i wanna see what thats all about.....

LOL !! Thanks. I was lucky. I had and have full insurance so it didn't cost me anything money wise.I've never been hurt during a test just preparing for one. I've banged my hands a few time with the hammer but nothing serious.

nice sog test man.... very odd... i bet it was hard to catch your breath.... i remeber some test you samed to be pretty sick and i remeber watching it and thinking "i wonder if he edited out where he passed out" jk.... if nothing else these tests are entertaining , and im glad i can see some real punishment on some of these knives before i depend on em , gives me confidence to what extream i can take my knives

somberbear: Thanks. It was hard to talk in the mask more than anything. You have to fight the pressure on the regulator as you speak. I had to practice underwater a lot and record myself before I got it down.

....hum...... a nice relaxing sunday... i have noticed that sence i got my coffee maker.. i have been posting a lot more... but i have had a bit of free time....

also this week end was the air show.... so i get to hear planes all day.... sat out on the porch with you guys yesterday watching the old planes fly over and a few new ones too.... im near relay point between the air port and there marker.... its kinda annoying honestly....

well now i did it , im sitting here looking at all my furnature and stuff and figuring out what im going to move around...... this might get real scary soon....

Forget moving it around... figure out which furniture you're gonna chop up with your knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
