Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 80085: Is the DI water necessary? I have access to it but I might get some strange looks/comments filling water bottles with it can I get by without it?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 80085: Originally Posted By sywagon: Keep the tray at the bottom full of DI water. Full sun is best.

Let the tray dry out between watering during that period, but don't let the substrate dry all the way out ever or it will die. It will take a light frost. Is the DI water necessary? I have access to it but I might get some strange looks/comments filling water bottles with it can I get by without it? To replant to a larger pot do I need to know anything special and will it grow and fill it out? Willie and I had some discussion and after looking into it the unglazed pots are not recommended (what I'm actually using). You can use a mix of sphag. & vermiculate - potting soil is not ideal and definitely not one with any fertilizer added (most these days do). Long fiber sphag. is the nicest looking and works the best IMO, but it costs a fair bit if you don't have anything else that can use it like orchids or whatever. I wouldn't put it in a huge pot, but it will divide and spread and fill in nicely if you follow the instructions and make it go dormant. Otherwise it will be diminishing and dead in a few years. If it looks like you almost killed it after several months ~40 degrees you're doing it right and it will come back stronger in the spring. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sywagon: The ruler was in inches, not cm lol. It's a "neck knife" as well, but I could see getting the wrong impression from just looing at pics over the years. It would be cool to have a scaled up one. This size is very practical though. Basically an EDC size fixed blade. He made some pretty large knives that look the same. |

It wasn't clear to me if he was going to be selling to dealers or if you have to go to his shop or call/email him to place an order. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIC: The new contestants arrived late yesterday L-->R Retro 1951 Roosevelt, Ti Click, Monteverde Engage, Sharpie S-Gel Broad point https://i.imgur.com/fiieBIe.jpg The Retro writes very nicely, feels good, looks shnazzy, but not sure it is grabbing me The Ti Click is a variant of what I already had, so figured I would like it Engage is huge. It takes fountain pen ink either by the included piston or an international standard cartiridge. The Sharpie S-Gel is just for testing the nib size. https://i.imgur.com/nGGjtxc.jpg It takes a cartirdge, but the clicker won't work because one alone is not tall enough to engage the mechanism and two is too tall to engage the mechanism. Whole point of buying it was for the clicker. It is a bit thick so it is not likely to stick around, but if it does, guess I will need to use the piston. Although, even when I was playing with it last night, the clicker sometimes misfired. There are other fountain pen ink rollerball options out there, but this is the only clicker I found, the rest are capped. Still, of all the ball type pens I have tried, this write the most like a fountain pen of any I have tried yet. We will see. For now, the tip is stuck out; guess we will be testing how long it takes to dry out. https://i.imgur.com/g86ajVc.jpg The S Gel 1.0 went right in the Ti clicker. I am so used to the twist version, the click version felt natural and I like the deployment mechanism better, even if twist is perhaps more refined. https://i.imgur.com/5cteT7L.jpg I like the S-gel |

Excellent. Is micarta an option? Should be able to use micarta. I've only used G10 and aluminum so far these Tuff Lites and those work great. Micarta is not as stiff as G10 and since these won't have any metal liners to support them I may need to eliminate the lightening pockets I mill into the back of the scales. I think they will work fine. I'll cut a set out as a test. Here are the green and brown micartas I have. Black, green, and "natural" canvas, then brown linen.
