If you ever go to prison your skills will not be wasted. You will have a long long line of customers.
lol lets all get along before someone gets stabbed. Apu, I make tools and art, not weapons. Sure you can use them as weapons, and they'll do damn good too, but I am 100% non violence. I would stop making knives all together if they were used to hurt another human. PS, make that 99.9% non violent, i keep the "menacer" around for the zombie apocalypse. perfect zombie hacking tool
you referred to prison and violence in your post a few times, though you were never specifically talking about his knives
No, I referred shanks to prison, not his knives. Remember? OP said his knives weren't intended for violence. When you were categorizing "shanks", you mentioned prison multiple times. Pork chop shank=kill a man. Toothbrush shank=dig a hole
And do you see him with any pork chops or toothbrush's? You were making an example to prove your point exactly the same as me
OOPS! I misunderstood. I re-read your post I was referring to, and looks like you were talking about prisoners having the resources to make any weapon. I understood that first as, any weapon I've made so far a prisoner could re create within the walls.
And in the process the knife(Or shank so you don't try troll wordplay) maker himself proved his point under you. Irony's a bitch hay
Because you are saying or at least implying I am wrong, OP is agreeing with me. Its his weapons he would know better
The only thing he did is acknowledge that prisoners have the time and resources to make nearly any weapon. I don't see how this changes anything between our knife/shank discussion. I'm not hijacking OPs thread anymore. If you want to continue it, pm me.
I gotta share the mini knife even though it's 90% done. I'm just diggin this thing too much, haha I love it. The tracker knife is going slow for the most part. Still shaping the sharp concave egdes. And got another that's cut out of an ice skate. Not sure on the type of metal but it's definetly higher quality steel that the mini knife and tracker are made from. Not quite as good as the whittling knife I'm afraid, but still should be awesome. Totally cool free hand design, without a single curve.
ha forgot pics. Mini Bowie. Ended up with a bubinga handle after the leopordwood and then black palm broke, ha yeah tiny handles and fragile wood do not mix well. Here it is with it's other inspiration 3rd and final handle, damn pins would break the wood because the holes weren't super perfectly aligned. File work goes all the way around the spine
can I get one sent to this address? San Quentin State Prison San Quentin, CA 94974 I can pay you in cigarettes and shampoo.
Now, I'm no blacksmith but I am a bit of an artist and I used to love drawing up knives and stuff. If you want, I could post up some old designs I've done. Just to see if you like any of them. Maybe you could derive some inspiration for your next one
