Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIC: well, birds shit everywhere...so... Funny turn of events, won't bore any one with the details, but walked into Costco to buy a Weber and left with something else https://i.imgur.com/VRDywUT.jpg I’ve been considering buying one at the end of this year but all I see are beat to shit cooktops that stick food. I’m not convinced outdoor griddles of stainless steel are any better alternative to a cast iron griddle over a burner or fire. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MrSig239: Happy Sunday! No knife pic today. 111 in the pocket since Thursday. Spring clean up the last few days.

Need to clean and mount it on. Relaxing today, will get back at it tomorrow. Was given some maple from a downed tree at a friends house. I cobbled up a quick bowl in repayment. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/56211/IMG_8104_jpg-3194164.JPG Think I will switch out 111 to the fixed blade.

We had a client call in about his matter, his wife was using a big downtown firm, probably charging four times more than us. Our client was also an attorney. He was furious because when they went downtown to sign papers for his wife, her attorney showed up in ripped jeans and a t-shirt. "Seriously? This is how little you think of my wife's business, you couldn't even put on appropriate clothes?!" We assured him that even though he couldn't see us, we were wearing suits for the phone call. It is a topic that has been addressed in a number of issues of the Wisconsin State Bar magazine as well. It detracts from the profession as a whole. Not an invalid position. I once received a phone call, “Hey where are you at right now?” Me: I’m in town. “Ok, can you be at the federal courthouse in 20 minutes?” Me: [raising my eyebrows knowing the standard of dress] Uh, my suit is 800 miles away. “Don’t worry about that, just be there.” Me: Okee dokee.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Reubjames: Sorry I've been absent for a while. Traveling, kids sports, excuse, excuse... I spent some time recently working on packaging for my knives. I'm inching closer towards selling them so I figured some time invested in coming up with decent packaging will be worth it. Here's what I've come up with so far. I may change up the insert material but it's a start. I'm also thinking of removing the "grip holes" in the insert. They look big but any smaller and finger tips can't get in there so I may just eliminate them and let the buyer turn the box over to get the knife out. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Photo_Apr_28_2024__5_24_12_PM_jpg-3202810.JPG I've also been working on replacement handle scale designs for some inexpensive Cold Steel knives that will be made from much nicer materials than the molded plastic and will allow the use of the Spyderco standard wire clip on either side. It was a project thought up by a friend and given to me to bring to life. I will likely machine out a few sets over the next week or two. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Tuff_Lite_2024-May-01_04-12-23AM-000_Cus-3202817.JPG Very cool to watch your progress. May I humbly submit my opinion for your consideration - please do not cut left hand pocket clips unless specifically requested by customers. There is nothing worse than buying aftermarket scales as a right hand knife user and finding the left side scales cut for societal outcasts. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Toker_: 154CM is a decent steel. But for the price that Emerson is charging for his knives, I don't find it to be a great bang for the buck. My ZT620 is M390, a titanium framelock and had a carbon fiber handle. It cost $240 when I purchased it. When I use my CQC-10, I need to sharpen it a lot more often from just day to day cutting tasks. The M390 keeps its edge a lot longer. I love Emerson's designs, but for $250+, I want more than 154CM. Even Magnacut would be great to fit Emerson's "Hard Use" slogan. It's a tough steel that's easy to sharpen. This guy gets it |
