And to think I can't even sharpen my lawn mower blade.
Don't mess with me, I'm too old to fight, too fat to run, so I going to have to kill you.

Been at this several weeks. .500 tall blade .140 thick. No hump from the burr to the top. Distal taper from both ends. Hard one to make. ![[Linked Image]](http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/rickmenefee/2006-12-08011002_zps1bb58ae1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/rickmenefee/2006-12-08010454_zps7d92b673.jpg)

That is an amazing knife a real pita to grind the swedge on that thimg.alone takes nothimg less than the masters touch. Easy to loose some skin on that one.
When it comes to knives and guns, what does NEED have to do with it?

Easy to loose some skin on that one. Although not a knife-maker I can relate. Years ago I had a machine shop, with Landis tangential threading machines. I could thread and bend round bar up to 4" diameter. Ground the "chasers" on an 8" grinder. Some thirty years later I still have the remnants of a "V" in my right thumb where it got caught between the guard and the wheel. A beauty Ricky Bob. Best, GWB

A lot of knives can be traced back to the maker by DNA.

You could cut the heart out of a pig while he walking away.
Haven't decided on one yet

Now that's way out there Rick. Not many makers will attempt to grind one so long and thin with a distal taper. Only the undivided attention of a master bladesmith is capable of producing this kind of knife. Phil Wilson is the only maker that comes to mind that could grind one such as this. Perhaps there's others that I don't know of yet but I assure you that the list is short. One flinch and it's ruined! Great job. Guys, there's more quality quality knife maker's in Oklahoma than anywhere I know of. Hats off to all of you.

A lot of knives can be traced back to the maker by DNA. And on user's also....... a number of mine have had more than just animal DNA stains! ![[Linked Image]](http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e129/glenn1221/IMG_5986_zpsf35f94f6.jpg) Just the slightest touch and was wearing latex gloves to boot. Been six months and it's finally healed and quit burning. GWB
