Ndog, I can’t wait to see what’s in the works! I’ll take 2!!Stay tuned George. I got something in the works Im thinking ...uh nevermind...You'll have to wait I already made a model and if I already made a model its coming to life one way or another! Not sure about how the Farm knife came to be but im betting is was truly farm knife used around the house including and prolly mostly the house and the kitchen but also capable of some tree trimming as well. If so it fits its description perfectly. The HI version is perfect however I think It has some advantages with its front heavy weight distribution that ...OK im about to blow it so I better shut up now.. Im thinking what it might look like if it were moved away from the kitchen just a lil bit and capable of some awesome chopping similar to the Gelbu Special. I have a model but I want to make some adjustments and then send a wooden model to Aunti Y so theres no confusion. Handle and drop...well you know me I like Thamar for his traditional shape and...OK ndog shut up now.
Just enjoyed them threads again Howard! Sure brings back some good times!
Love the video Danny! And love some Hendrix too!!!!FYI: Here is my Farmcata in action dismembering a duck Peking style. Bones are no object! I love it and thanks to Mr. Steve Tall for the privilege of owning this beauty! What a wonderful knife! Balance is everything!
Well I tried to get Ms Yangdu to make a farm knife with an AK edge and it got mixed up. I’ll have to send her a photo. Instead I received an AK that looked like a farm knife favoring the vuks but on steroids! I absolutely love the knife! But my design was the farm knife with the edge of an AK.OK. I can see what you are saying if the plan is to use it in the kitchen but im thinking more like moving it out of the kitchen since I already got a Farmcata. My Farmcata lives in the kitchen and It will be really hard to beat that one. Im not thinking lighter anything but on the contrary. Im thinking more like AK edge, Gelbu fullered farm knife on a stick! The handle would be more like the farmcata or like a Barong. My model needs to be chopped up a bit more and then Ill make a final model then do it in wood. Then I figure ill send it do Yangdu and see what or if she can do anything about it but if not Ill make one myself. I already started it but didnt have enough weight on the front. I also had a pretty serious accident due to lack of proper forging facilities but luckily we had the biggest snowstorm of the century in Texas so once i burned the hell out of myself I took a dive outside the front door into the snow bank and packed my arm in snow. Thank what ever you pray to for that snow! Man! that hurt for a few weeks. You dont want to see them pics but I don have them. Anyway this knife is going to be made one way or another because it is goin to be a chopper like nothing you ever seen! Prolly more like an axe than a light kitchen knife for sure but I think yall will like it lots! Time will tell.
