I just noticed that I am only 19 posts away from becoming a Mongrel. Mongrel Horn Dog has a nice sound to it. Now, I'm not quite as shameless as my friend the Diceman, so I'm not just going to post for the points. I need real stuff to post about. Can you dogs help me out?

Be glad to H/D! Did you know that you can check the site of knife wholesalers such as Moteng, then take half the retail price to approximate the dealer's cost? Gives you a price-point when shopping on eBay. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom

No, I did not know that, Tom.

Now you do!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Yes. Thanks again, Tom.

that is useful information.

It is.

so he's not only contributing to your post count.

No, of course not. That would be wrong.

would it?

Seems sleazey and self-serving, don't you think?

did you notice he's at 2999? triple JYD status only one post away.

but you're at 250, you're a mongrel!

I am happy to help anyone with their post count, but really like to do it by adding something.
#3,000 for me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Oh yes! Thank you. I love being a Horn Dog Mongrel. Should I announce it on a post?

that is up to you.

you passed me right up. I rember when I was a mutt and you were a pound puppy
congrats

I decided it would be better just to change the subject by editing the original
post to Mongrel at Last! Thanks again.

they grow so fast. if only the post man would arrive as quicly with my new him imp i am restless as hell.

him imp are beautiful.

Thank you, scrappy. You will be a mongrel very soon.

Congrats HD!!!!! I will be there in a few!

yup yup. as beautiful as becoming a mongrel.

Congrats, Tom. If we were any worse, we'd be in Congress.

it will be a day to celebrate when scrappy is a scrapper.

everyone's breakin ground today. maybe i'll post 400 times tonight and hit JYD.

oh that'll be a holiday and a half, friend.

We'll do the happy dance!!

oh yeah the mailman just came. box is on my lap.

Well, open it! Don't leave us in suspense.

it's one funky knife. about 3.75" blade, .24" thick or so, 1.125 at its widest.

What it is?

that is a very thick short blade.

Sure hope its not from Bud K.

it's kinda like a tanto with a swedge. i'm finding many traces of the hammer. i got it pretty cheap so it doesn't really bother me. imagine the thick spine was straight in line with the grip then he started hammering the steel thin out near the point, squeezin the spine outward. i'll ge a pic.

got to hate bud k, it is all pakistan junk. no offense

this pic is deceiving. the spine reaches back further than is evident. not a bad thing, still woulda bought it. edge has some hammers in it which will look terrible when i sharpen it which means i'll have to destroy the entire mirror polish and satin it myself.

the handle and sheath look nice.

Nice little Sarge knife. Now get Andy(Fiddleback) to make you a Sogguy sheath and you'll be set.

BTW - What's up with posting while I'm away? That's not fair <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/footinmouth.gif" alt="" />

Mag, Nice little knife. I like the fat little blade!

Looks nice is it from HI.




Bors

yes bors, it's HI. Sarge knife.

been workin on it, it's all satin now and mostly sharp. the belly, swedge, and point got real sharp real fast. the middle third of the main edge is troublesome. right now it's a git sharper than my wetterlings, which cuts pretty decently, but i'm gonna keep goin at it after i get back from 300. ted, don't post till i get back.

actually, no one post.

and i do like the sheath, so i'll contact fiddleback another time.

retention strap is way too loose, though
