Let's Talk Knives

I knew Tom wanted a cleaver but I also knew that he does a lot of brisket and big grill pieces. So I decided a fusion piece would serve best. He hasn’t complained….
Yet, lol

 

Yes. I like.

 

I probably need at least 4 months

 

I need more money. Lol. Just not in the budget right now unfortunately.

 

That thing is pure hotness. Amazing knife

 

There’s been a significant breakdown in my productivity while I am building a new forge. You can only ramp a forge up to 2500f so many times before it starts to disintegrate! I should be up and running in a couple weeks. Can’t wait because there’s still so much more to learn and new patterns to try!

 

Unsolicited advice, so apologies - - Not trying to judge or throw a wet blanket on the non-stick pots and pans, but that coating is bad stuff. Very often parts of it get hot enough to cause molecules of the coating to slough off into your food, and if you insult the coating with a spoon or fork, you're also getting the coating in your food. The least damaging thing those chemicals do is metabolize into estrogen.

A stainless steel steamer might do your asparagus and spinach just as well. I've got a couple of carbon steel pans that are decently seasoned, and they work great, too.

 

Late night internet browsing resulted in this showing up a couple of days ago.

 

got a hold of this one. Hefty beast and hand made in PA.
limited collab with C4.

Just snagged this off another forum

 

That’s an amazing knife. The Pro-Tech TR-3 and the Microtech LUDT are damned near the same knife and tied for the best automatics on the market in my opinion.
You’re going to love it. Customer service and engagement from Pro-Tech is second to none.

 

Today’s carry.

 

I need to get myself one of these. My buddy showed me his Protech SBR and they snap open with authority, love the action on Protechs.

 

Good to hear! This will be my first pro tech, so can’t wait to try it out

 

Dammit, I want it.

 

The distressed look of the copper scales is cool

 

Yeah, the copper will patina nicely with use too. I really want it. Too many other priorities now though.

 

I haven’t forgotten about your marlin spikes. Should be able to get them done before Christmas

 

No rush!

 

Blade Show haul.

 

Nice! So jelly, I really wanted to make it up there this year. Nice haul!

 

Protech TR3 came in today! Seems to be a really nice quality knife!

 

I finished the new forge yesterday and today put it to work. Hit 2430f in about 20 minutes. Looking forward to having this baby, although it will take a little time to get the perfect air and gas mix tuned.

 

Hotness!!

 

Yeah I got out of there sooner than planned. If I’d stayed any longer I’d have had to go stand on the street corner and beg for gas money to get home.

 

Hell yeah. You’re gonna love it!

 

Now you just need a meteor to work with.

 

The guy from Keybar has a hookup with someone at Space X. He gets surplus spaceship material from them and makes swords with it.
I didn’t get a good picture but they were pretty sweet. They were a thousand dollars each so I passed, but I definitely dug the craftsmanship.

 

Really cool stuff. I missed Blade Show, but my friend brought me a Knafs poster from Ben.
