Ditto Kraz and I feel so left out of HD & Dice's beer can killing picture threads. I can't seem to stab a bottle no matter how great Dan makes his blades.

The Becker Combat Utility is only 3/16" thick and already had a false edge. When I put a sharpened swedge on it, I started with 80 grit and worked down to 150, and didn't quite finish polishing yet with 9U. You can see how much more steel I will have to remove on the S6.

As I am just an old man with a belt sander on the back porch and not a CNC milling machine, you can see the imperfections in my work.

The Mojo is probably 1/4" thick, so a lot of steel would have to come off to make it a fighter, too.

I stabbed a bottle cap and missed and blunted the DM tip. I steeled it back out. If you are more careful than I, and haven't had too much to drink already, you can punch the penetrator point dead center in the bottle cap and pry it off.

I aspire to your level of imperfection Vic! LOL! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

> ZeroNine,

> Horn Dog,
as always.. very Inspiring work! lookin Good!
now i just have to get off my lazy @$$ and Buy myself that belt sander..!
(i need to practice on bunch of cheapy knives too)

It would be cool at parties. I might just get one as a novelty bottle opener. I have not tried to stab the center with a DM, yet. Come to think of it, no one invites me to parties much anymore. I think it is the horns.

HD, Next cook out I have you are invited, I am only a couple states north of you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Because of you I am on the hunt for a decent cheap belt sander. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

The latest Harbour Freight catalog had HD's belt sander marked down to $32.99. I was eyeballing one just before I saw all the sanding love HD's knives were getting and his pics inspired me even more. I'm only waiting to make a trip down to our local Harbour Freight store to see if they might have it in stock.

maybe more? I'd imagine that the grinding of the blade would be more labor intensive. However, it's just a guess. I'm fairly ignorant of production methods and cost.

Right, 09, thanks. My yoots were just up there last week, my brother, Cmdr Robert Ross, lives there.
I have been drinking and grinding:
