I think you should change it to Brown AF

Or SLOW AF

 

[Will Power]

Brown Alcohol Volume? Knife turned out sweet so I'll have a drink of the Brown stuff (Bourbon) to celebrate

 

[JB in SC]

You might be thinking I forgot about that. WRONG!

Of course not…it always worked in the past, dang dart kept bouncing out where my name was…

Very nice Kerry! Any chance you'll be up in Janesville, WI in a couple weeks for the Badger Show?

Thanks for the comment. I might attend shows again some day but I am a lazy knife maker right now. This retirement gig is spoiling me.

As a matter of fact, I have spent quite a bit of time cutting out blades and springs and heat treating. I am working on a 3 1/4" swayback next but just so happen to have a couple of those {up yonder} heat treated and ready to grind.

The question is, what type of blade are you putting in that swayback?

 

[Will Power]

Something Oddball .....SPEY !

Something Oddball .....SPEY !

Ok, this is quite telling that my oddballNESS is a thing that is apparently to be expected around these parts, BUTTTTTT, a SPEY in a Swayback is even too weird for ME That said, I have pulled some chit over the years so, TOOSHAY!, my friend. (I know French, duh...Terre Haute, ya'll)

(...but wait...this conversation has inspired me towards a new creation: The SPWEYBACK JACK! )

 

[KnifeHead]

It's just your basic 3 1/4" Bose Swayback Wharncliffe single.

 

[Will Power]

If that's 'basic' I'll take a box

 

[black mamba]

What, no Lambsfoot!? Come on, Head, get on the bus!

It's in the lineup.

A WIP shot at the mill. A 3 1/4" Bose Swayback taking shape.

 

[Lhpanther]

Looking good Kerry.

 

[Blues]

Looking good Terry.

Uh-oh. Someone's being moved down the list.

 

[KnifeHead]

More WIP action.
