I have been wanting to do some of those neat 440C little drop points I do,but offer with a Parsons sheath.
I have a pretty decent selection of wood,stag,and I can always order kirinite (pretty cool stuff)

With a Parsons sheath,no loop or belt loop,or cross draw horizontal,plain,I'd need $100. a pc. plus shipping.
Paypal fee would be extra too.

$$ Breakdown :
Knife & sheath,left or right belt loop or no loop,or cross draw $100.
Con. U.S. shipping $5.80
So one knife shipped, without extra's is $105.80 via U.S. Postal M.O.
Or,one knife shipped,without extra's ,Paypal with fee $109.26

steel belt clip on sheath adds $10.

On my website there are examples of this knife here :
http://www.vcmcustomknives.com/other-edcs.html

And here,with specs :
http://www.vcmcustomknives.com/edc--sambar-stag.html

Some wood I have :
walnut
cocobolo
African Blackwood
African Bubinga
Maple Burl
Quilted maple
figured maple
birdseye maple
ironwood burl (limited quantity)
some other ironwood I think
redwood burl
flamed redwood
striped ebony

Amber dyed & reg. Sambar stag


I would limit to 9 spots if I can get takers. So what say you ?

Dale I do not want to be paid up front ,I just want to see if I can get buyers before I go buy blades & sheaths. And re up on my abrasives,too.

This knife was a hit,I think with a Parsons sheath it would make a great little,unique ,useful EDC knife

>>>That's a wrap on this group,I'll do more if you guys want,but lemme work this out first,so stay tuned & thanks All

I might be interested in one..

Where are these blades made and by whom?

Also, are they stamped or marked with a makers mark?

Offshore,1/8" thick 440C Rc 58-59 hollow ground ,satin finish
No makers mark,but I assure you ,I'll be doing the handles. I have sold probably 100 more or less of these knives with not a complaint. This buy is all filled up freedomguy,thank you for your interest though & keep checking because I'll probably do another set. You have to be logged on the 24 Hour Campfire.com to get in on these!! Best forum on the net.

PS wait 'til you see the sheaths these will get !

Here's a good sized order I filled last summer. The customer bought one & came back for a batch. These were gifts for his employee's

What kind of pins are those Vince...?
Are they peened in, or...are they little Corby's...?

I'll be using 3/32" nickel pins

Got it, but how are they placed/secured...are they peened in, epoxied in, etc....?

Those little knives with the stag scales look exceptionally good.

Peened Devcon 2 ton slow cure

Danny that last pic of 11 on the blue wildabeast hide have 1/8" pins and one spalted maple has 3/16 brass mini Corby's since then though I use the 3/32" pins , I like them better on the small handle

They all look real good. The blade looks to be a real functional one, and it's appealing to the eye also. The job you're doing of placing those scales on them is really making fine looking knives out of em'. Very nice work...!

Thanks

I keep one of these knives in the truck with me at all times. Mine has seen heavy use at times.

When I got mine I worked over the edge with my edge pro, since then I have lightly touched up the edge with a diamond steel.

A lot of knife for the money.

Randy

Thanks for the info

Unmarked $15 Chinese blades, huh?

I'll pass.

http://www.premiumknifesupply.com/servlet/the-169/S105-Mini-Caper/Detail

I had a feeling of your intent here freedom guy.

But I will say ,and most that understand will agree.

There is a shop involved,with tools,yes basic tools,but I had to purchase. Some of them run on electricity,and the lights,too,no candles were used.

Abrasives,adhesives,sundries like drill bits etc.
Then handle material,pins,etc.

Then outlay for the blades you seem to condemn. I ordered few trial & error and found these to be of decent quality. Yes I'd rather U.S.A. but many in this style ,made in U.S.A. ,sucked compared to my choice.

Then the sheath ,time to order & cost.

I then use a "time & materials " formula to calculate my asking price.

Now you might pass & I kinda do not give a flying Fluck about that,but consider the buyers on this list,some have these knives already by me,some are knife makers themselves,and some ordered two right off the batt.

I always say ,in regards to knives/ knife purchases,let the buyers dollar do the talking. But in your case,since you are asking questions,posting ignorant comments on my thread,why must you do that ? You could move along and buy what you want to buy,after all you must be the legendary custom knife aficionado,buying force . Mr. freedom guy you look pretty dumb,IMHO..
Please buy everything mentioned above & show us what you & your mouth , and hands can produce.

I continue to attempt to offer the members here decent products weather built by me or others,despite interference from alot of unsupervised internet legends,but I'll say it is getting harder & harder. So please consider all angles before you post.

So what is your point? $15 for the blade, then handle material, sheath, tools and equipment, labor, shipping.

So freedom guy can you ADD?

You know there is an old saying,"its better to let people think you are a fool than to open your mouth and prove it"

I think this saying applies here!

freedom guy it is a semi custom /production product. I posted earlier prior to your last post giving you enough info ,and pictures of examples for you to clearly make a choice.

I ask ? Why did you have to make that post you made ? Do you realize now,after reading it,that you took a crap on my thread.

You now look very ignorant to many & will lose alot of respect here on this forum.

Respect is earned . Try to realize & understand.

I'm far from "ignorant". I am sharp enough to know where you are sourcing those CHINESE made blades aren't' I?

Yes respect is earned. And I have NONE for you.

Telling folks the blades are made "offshore" as opposed to CHINA is a good clue as to the level of respect you truly deserve.

Weasel words from a weasel.

Oh .and BTW, I have the same level of "respect" for the dipstick fanboys supporting this "knifemaking" scam.

You clowns are a JOKE>

Sorry Freedom guy, I don't think you'll find a lot of support for your attitude. Vince is as stand up a guy as you'll find. He's never made any implications about what he's selling that they were something they weren't. What the hell's the deal. Are you pissed cause you didn't get in on the group buy? Dude if you don't want one that's fine, but get the [bleep] over it. Do you have any clue what a set of Sambar stag scales costs, or a Larry Parsons sheath, not to mention what the man's time is worth to put the damned things together. Sure you can buy a full custom but there's certainly no need to take a dump on what he's doing, just move the [bleep] along.

Why are you even in the knife forum then?

Wow.. Threats and cursing.. CLASSY.

not sure where you found a threat in there, but I never claimed to be particularly classy. what else ya got?

I have just as much right to discuss the merits (or lack thereof) of ANYTHING on this forum as the next guy.

Maybe Vince should start his own website/forum where he can do whomever he wants without criticism?

It's a free country. You dipsticks are entitled to spend as much as you want on "custom" cheap Chinese blades and I'am like wise free to LAUGH at you for doing so.

Rock on, retards.

I buy those blanks from USA knife maker & Premium. And what I pay depends on the size of the order. Specs are not always given out perfectly. But I'll say i again,I have sold many of them here with not a single complaint.

freedomguy ,what exactly are you bringing to the table here ? The fella's that want to buy these & have bought ,well they are perfectly correct in what they want to buy.

What is it that you want ?

got it, so you have a man crush for Vince and there was another snow day off from junior high.

You are missing it here freedom guy.

This thread is to offer these knives to members.
If you want to criticize or whatever the heck you want to do,please,start your own thread. Good luck with that. But to debate these knives & my character please do it in your own thread

Are you insinuating my friend has no class ? Well lemmesay,again,start your own thread. You could explain why you did not like the taste,your first BJ left in your mouth in your thread.
How's that for some Brooklyn class. Yeah I got some swampwater ginny's in my family tree,lmao.

Let me repeat the blade has perfomed very well under harsh use.

That to me says it all. Great blade for the money. Buy with confidence.

Randy

FWIW,

I trade at a local Gunshop that has knives for sale from cheap $10 knock-off as well as your commercial manufactures such such as Boker, Buck Benchmade, Kershaw Puma etc. I've been trading there for over 20 years. I may purchase 15 to 20 rifles there a year. Currently I have two on lay-away. Recently it came back to me from one of the sales people I do business with that one of the head honchos' was heard to say "Well if Geedub' bought that, we sold it too cheap". LOL

Recently they have taken on a line out of Central Texas, CM Forge I do believe. I'll not include their website here but they can be googled. Subsequent to my ordering two of these EDC's I noticed a knife by CMF that would appear to be identical to the EDC's that are the subject of this thread in regards to the shape of the blade. They were listed for sale at $139. Sales Tax is 8.25% here, so if my math is correct that means the drive out price would be $150.47, and the knife may or may not have a sheath.
In this case one is getting a knife and sheath of excellent quality, fit and finish by all appearances and past history of the seller.
I don't know about ya'll but I'm quickly becoming a fan (and soon a customer) of VinceM, and I'd much rather someone I know and like have my money, than someone I don't know or don't like.

I do believe the author of this thread indicated that the blades were production blades. I do believe that he also indicated that only a certain quantity would be produced in this run.


So perhaps I'm guilty of tampering with un-tempered mortar here, but it could be pointed out that no one was forced to purchase any of Vinces' wares, and that first come first served is quite a common occurrence in the real world.

Finally, words mean things. If a fellow was at a bus station observing, and I walked up to the ticket counter and inquired "how much for a ticket to SA. The attendant would say $XX.xx one way. I pull out the money and say. Good, I'll take one as I need to be in San Antonio by this evening. Most likely the attendant would say something like "Sir, I'm sorry, but I can't sell you a ticket on the bus to San Antoino arriving this evening, it left an hour ago. However I can sell you one for the bus leaving for SA in the morning.

If I were then to stamp my feet and say "tarnation", I didn't want to go on that bus anyway, too many kids, and it was a crappy bus anyway, I think I'll pass.
You still have the opportunity to get on the next bus, as long as you've not raised such a ruckus as to be refused service, but to get on the one that has already left........

what is the old bromide, "one never gets a second chance to make a first impression"

Good luck out there FG, you're gonna need it.

Best,

GWB

I'll never understand guys like Freedomguy. Did daddy not love you enough? Dude worry about things that actually matter.

freedom dude, I am a knifemaker and I realize the time, cost of materials and effort to finish a knife. Personally I wouldn't touch this project for $100. One thing Vince didn't add was shipping cost. By the time its all said and done I figure Vince is going to make Maybe $15-20 ea. I was the first one to order. And I knew where the blade came from. I was not misled. I know that the quality of this blade is not as good as D2 or 154 but for $100, who gives a rip. It is a project made by our friend. Most knifemakers collect knives from other knifemakers. Yes we could build the same knife ourselves, but it is a common interest amoung a select group that chooses to show mutual respect for each other. Vince is one of the most stand up guys on this forum. He has even commented "I'm just a handle maker", he has never misrepresented a damn thing. If you don't get it by now you must live one miserable existence if all you have to do is trash others interest. My personal recommendation would be GO TAKE SOME EXLAX AND BLOW IT OUT YOU A$$.

bookmark for good deal on blade blanks - researched and tested

Laughin'

Vince - Put me in-line for your next order of these. Thank you "Freedomguy" for bumping up this thread or I might have missed out on this deal!

Those blade's I believe are made in Davis Oklahoma. They produce and supply most of the knife making catalogs. T.Bose thinks enough of Vince to let him haft his blanks. You have screwed yourself with a lot of makers. Find yourself another hobby.

Def will be more

BTW Thanks guys gotta love it,we are all good for some entertainment now n then. Have fun.

At this rate he'll run out soon.

Anybody wants to drop off the list, please add me!

Yes Sir next Ten I make a list for will be sponsored by freedumbguy

Well I"m late to the party but I have enjoyed the comments

If I had seen nothing but the names of the guys buying the knives, that would be enough to tell me its a quality product. These guys know their stuff

Add me to the list of retard wannabe's

Good lookin knives Vince

Vince, Think this guy knows what its like to kick a hornets nest.

That's a load of Bullschit and you know it.

Basically, you are just defending your pimp

Duly noted.

Nothing like a "custom handled" P.O.S. Chicom blade.

freedomguy,everyone here knows the knife in this buy is a production blade. They are fine with it. Why are you so angry ?

Yea but he's honest pimp. and we like the porn he dishes out.

After 20 or so post you have not had 1 person agree with you,
why don't you just disappear.

That's accomplished by sticking you head up your arse and jump.

Dale..

First of all. GFY.

Yeah, and "honest" purveyor of reworked Chinese made junk..

The reason why this crap is foisted on folks here as opposed to the blsdeforums.com or knifeforums.com etc is because it would BE LAUGHED OFF THE PAGE there..

Anything to make a buck ,right?

Typical A-moral New Yorker.

Because the basis of your $123 "bargain"(with Pakky made sheath,shipping and PP fees) is a P.O.S. Chinese made blade.

Excuse me.. "offshore" made blade.

I guess some attention is better than none,

right FG


Best,

GWB

KMA Parson sheaths are the best money can buy. Maybe you need to research that.
everyone who bought this knife, myself included knew exactly what we were buying. MIND YOUR [bleep] BUSINESS.

GWB.

Your just a Whore..

Period.

And a dumb one at that.

Vince pm earlier said they were made overseas. It's nice to have a honest pimp. Sorry your unhappy in life.

And I'm sorry for you that your're such a fat douchebag..

Carry on "big'un"..

Well crap, I wish I had bought one now if for nothing to show this guy I know nothing. Dang the luck

Well it is safe to say,or should I just say... I know now I am a very popular and successful handle put R on R ,I have fans & a stalker too !!

Life is good for me.:))

It's funny that anyone who responds to your Chinese blade scam during a 24 hour period is a "stalker".

What a New York whiner.

Too bad you are not proud enough of your "craftsmanship" to put your name on it.

But then again, using unmarked Chinese blades -how could you?

I can tell that by what a lard ass you are.

Like I said before, freedumbguy is clearly harboring a man crush for Vince. School bus just got back home a bit ago and he's feverishly typing one handed while thinking about the "real" custom he anticipates purchasing on blade forums after studying up on steel compositions for another six months ensuring his Internet expertise. In the meantime he's brushing up on why production blades are bad because of their country of origin without a shred of empirical evidence or firsthand knowledge.

freedom must live on miserable existence. He has not had one person stand up for him during this entire thread.
funny how we all have each others back and he has no one. MAY BECAUSE HE ALREADY PUT A KNIFE IN THEIRS. He is probable over here because he got kicked off the other forums. He set out to prove he's an a$$ and has succeeded very well.

1 a$$ says 12 people are dumb Forks and 12 Dumb forks say 1 person is an a$$ Works for me!!!!

That's funny. I did not make my posts to make any friends here.

A-moral Dirtbags like you can't handle the truth.

Go to hell, Mr Wankerson

Your are the one sucking Vince's member over this Chinese blade Goat [bleep]- not me..

I'd say YOU are the one with the man crush.
You must be from Brokeback Mountain..

You got me there,



And I freely admit to being a whore.




A blade whore fer sure,

As to being dumb,

taking the time for a rejoinder to your drivel is pretty dumb,

but I'll make an exception this one time.

Bet it's a different story in person

What's That Spell ?? What's that spell ?

Whore's need love too freedumbguy.

Still don't know what your purpose here is.

Maybe Rick Bin planted this guy to raise post counts in the knives sub forum ??

GWB do you give whorin lessons. Guess I been doin it wrong.

The Sad thing is.. You could not even mark the blades truthfully with CHINA on them.. or even 440c.

You don't even know WHERE the hell they are truly made.. They just are not made in the USA.

And has far as post counts on the knife forum here,if the increased post counts include TRUTH rather than your unchallenged huckster Bullschit, then I'd say it's an improvement.

Says the fanboy hiding behind a username hisownself..

Giggle...

Freewhore wouldn't trade.
Vince better order another 20

Vince,

tongue firmly planted in cheek,

years ago I heard the story about an older man listening in on a telephone conversation. Don't know if you are old enough to remember pay phones at the neighborood stop and rob.

Any how this young man about 14 years old was on a pay phone.

Evidently he was talking to what the elderly gentleman took as a potential customer. The older man could only hear one side of the conversation, and it went something like this

Are you satisfied with the job the boy that is cutting your yard is doing?

Does he edge and sweep.

Does he bag the leaves and put them by the curb.

Are you sure you wouldn't like to try someone else.

I can do it cheaper.

Your satisfied.

You're sure.

Well OK, but I'll call you back in a month to see if you are still satisfied.

The young man hung up the phone and the older gentleman addressed the young man saying.

Son, I'm sorry you could not talk the person on the other end of the line into giving you the business. It sound like you are a go-getter and will do very well in this world with an attitude such as you have.

The young man politely replies,

Not to worry Sir, I already am cutting that ladies yard. I was just checking up on my performance.

At first I thought it might be you as FG (wonder if his middle initial is "N") were "checking up" on your performance.

But after his second appearance I do not believe that to be the case.

But from all appearances and the responses on this thread, your perfomace is above reproach and your rep is fine.

I'm definitely looking forward to owning a "Flaming EDC" knife. Maybe I should change my request to one of the exotic Kinnite(?) handles to commerate this thread.

Also, being the whoremonger I am, I also must ask how much extra for a letter of authenticity for my "SumTingWong" blade.

Best,

GWB

I'll tell you once again free dumb,I actually bought production kit blades ,made in U.S.A. and the finish & grind did not compare to these

As far as stamping ,and or etching . More parts ,more labor = more cost. I set out to make a decent knife for a decent price,that falls in between a full production & a full custom, at a price you could live with & use it without hesitation.
Again,have sold plenty here with not one complaint,and some,prior to you even registering on this site. The guys buying now what it is,there is no scam.

You are not buying,not even posting anything ,anyone wants to here so the question I present to you that remains un answered,now in two parts :

What is it that you want ?
What is your purpose ?

The way it appears is you do not want anything & do not want to contribute anything here,that anyone wants to listen to.

Don't feed the troll.

But its fun

REALITY CHECK-

The sad fact of the matter is VINNY, is that if you had ANY talent and true integrity as a craftsman, you could get off your lazy ass and MAKE blade blanks for within about $5 of the cost of the Chinese made crap you are putting handles on. You are taking the lazy way out.

Hard to have respect for what you are doing. It's the type of dubious huckster bullshit you see guys hawking at Gunshows.

Well,it might change . I might get a grinder & do the full deal. But right now this is where I am at and as long as I have some buyers here & there I see no harm. I disclose what the knives are when I sell. It's not a scam,it's just me doing my thing. I have a lot of repeat buyers ,I do not need to explain what I do but in order to somehow bust through to your mind,I'll try.

PS But I think you are off on cost ,time & material,for hand ground,properly heat treated blade,stock removal

Mr. freedomguy got a real name or knife u made?

BTW freedumbguy,I like that name,Huckster I might just name this little China knife just that I'm almost ready ,thanks to you,to fill another 10 spot buy,Thank You

Alright, alright... enough already. Vince sorry man but in honor of unFree-Dumb-Guy you gotta start a new list of SumTingWong knives. Put me second on the list right behind DWB and his clever name for your blades. Stop it with this unworthy BladeForum reject, get on git'n them handles on, I gotta have one and I too missed the first cut!

OK but I got Chinese fireworks smoke signal today I gotta literally run offshore in my rig to meet my supplier ,he's floating in ,just outside of Montauk . We'll meet & I'll get those offshore blades.

Don't forget me Vince on the next order.

I guarantee you fatboy..

I've built more and better knives than your pimp friend.

And better fixed blades than the ugly ass PARING KNIVES you call "Hunters".

Should we have a vote on the new name ? "Huckster" ? or "SumTing Wong" ? Or ?

Can we see some though ?

"Vinny the no lazy, no talent Douchebag" sounds about right.


It suits you.

Too long,I'm waaay too lazy to type all that

Trust me .. You've already seen Hundreds of them.

The problem is- they are US made and I don't wholesale my knives to sleazebag "dealers" like you.

I know the guys At tbe gun shows you are talking about. They buy blanks by the dozens and the cheap a$$ one size fits all sheath and advertise "handmade knives". I've even heard them go into the whole routine of grindimg amd heat treating. Now thats somethimg to get pissed about. It does not represent a well built custom. Amd they sell them for $150. Vince is not even close to the same catagorie. He has never pretended to be any thing more than a hhandle put r on r. We know that and we dont care. Vince is a major supporter of the knifemaking commumity and if we choose to.support him than why do you give a chit. Amd it seems that china is the big stick in your craw. Why domt you get ahold of all the former American made knife companys that are now outsourcing to China. Buck Scharade Uncle Henry ect ect. Give them a piece of you self righteous mind. Hou are not educating or impresaing anyone here other than yourself. I personaly don't agree with every thing I see but if it doesn't hurt or effect me, I keep myouth shut and move on. Why don't hou try it sometime you'll be a better person for it.

Post up some pictures

You got that right,Guido.

Show us ,otherwise it & you,are BS

Grow a pair post your knives and your real name.

You can go to Kniveshipfree.com RIGHT NOW and buy small Bark River or HESS knifes made TOTALLY in the US for $100(Hess Caper) or a Bark River Little Creek for $123 shipped. DOZENS of handle materials at that price, too.

100% US made. American craftsmen building them AND the sheaths they come with. And, since they actually are PROUD of what they build- they actually MARK the blades with their name.

Neither company hails from New York ,though.. which should tell you something.

You go first, huckster.

Show us PROOF of who ACTUALLY makes your blades along with PROOF of the 440C steel certification and heat treat.

You can't,because you actually don't have a [bleep] clue.

Show us your knives and post your name
If your not full of bs

Sometimes a guy needs a friendly chap to tell him that he's being a dick and it reflects on his character.

So, with all respect, you're being a sick freedomguy and it's reflecting poorly on your character, if that even matters to you.

FWIW, one can be both correct and a dick at the same time.

I'll tell you what Mr Wankerson.

I'll post pics of the blades made completely in my shop when Huckster Vince ever gets around to actually grinding blades of his own.

Don't hold your breath- he can't cut it.

Then I vuess your full of bs. Right

I agree with that.. but frankly given the LOW moral "character" of my combatants here, I couldn't give a flying [bleep] what they think.
They've gone along with so much Hype, Huckster BS for so LONG on this forum they can't even HANDLE the truth.

You alone are responsible for your own actions. You don't have to sacrifice your character in order to disapprove of somebody else's actions.

One's character had nothing to do with the opinion of others. It has to do with your integrity.

Not hardly. And I've got NOTHING to prove to your dumb Okie Azz.

Maybe you could grow a [bleep] brain and quit making excuses for your pimp friend Vinny.

We damn well know the.truth Your an Idiot who let his mouth write a.check his ass can't cash. Show us your knives make belivers out of us.

Man I love knives,I'd love to see some of yours freedumbguy. Please,show us some,or, just one. It would mean alot right about now & it might make a difference , maybe

Vince is a friend. Don't see any of yours chimimg in. Plrobly dont have any the you conduct yourself. Show us your knives if hou have any.

I've got nothing to prove to you Wankerson.

Your buddy Vinny can't even prove WHO makes his [bleep] "opffshore" blades or REALLY what steel they are actually made from.. So much for "proven" and "vetted"

Funny stuff, that.

And you defend him.

Equally hilarious. And telling, too.

My friends in the knife biz would not even waste the time talking to a ballwashing sockpuppet like you.

Guys,I do know. The blades were ground in a Shang Hi Noodle factory

We just need one name. Otherwise right about now you're nothing here

So, I guess your own character doesn't really matter all that much to you.

Okay, carry on...

I beg to differ you have challeged every thing the friend shil of this forum stands for. Honestly you have no idea of friendship if hou dont get it. I dont care if Vince made it out of card oard and duct tape. Its my [bleep] $100 and and I'll do with it as I please. Show us your knives

FWIW

Prior to this thread I've had no communication with VinceM, nor purchased anything from him. Consequently before today I don't think I could be called one of his groupies.


I've basically been self employed all my life. Years ago I decided I wanted to do some blacksmithing and working with metal. I already had a steel fabrication shop with tool rooom and turret lathes, drill presses, OBI presses and Landis Tangential Threaders, grinders, Pedrick and Di-Acro bar and tube benders. I could thread and cold bend round bar to 4" diameter. Welding included innershield, MIG, Tig and stick. At one point I employed 35 folk. I proceeded to take some metallurgy course at Rice Intitute, built a forge, acquired blacksmith coal and read everything I could find on blacksmithing. This would be circa 1981, which was before the age of the innna-net. Made my own anvil out of a heavy piece of rail. I've worked with various grades of aluminum, brass, bronze, silicon bronze, 1020 hot roll, 1018 cold roll, 4130, 4140, 304 and 316 Stainless, Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy and 17-4 PH steels to name a few.

At another point I decided I wanted to make knives and began doing that. That was short lived as the oil crunch hit and I went broke.

So without hesitation I can say that I've had some exposure to metal and steel.

Having been self employed for at least 40 of my 62 years I also understand about the cost of doing business and the necessity of making a profit.

I'm now at a point in my life where I have the luxury of purchasing many things that at a younger age I could not afford

I've a saying, "that one is very seldom sorry that he went first class"



Certain things seem to have an intrinsic value.




Value is something I appreciate.


So, having said all that.

I went into this purchase with my eyes open. No its not S30V, 154 CM, D2, or like steels. However the seller disclosed the composition of the steel, that it was a production item.

VinceM, a respected member of this forum is assembling the components and has provided examples of previous work. Others have vouchsafed for his integrity and the quality of his work.

Consequently, its worth and intrinsic value were such that I decided to trade money, which I earned by the sweat of my brow, not given by, or taken from any man or entity unearned.

I find it boorish that one would criticize another here for such an exchange.

So to a certain individual I say........

If we can't interest you in a knife,

would you like to buy a........

GWB

Just a pathetic little man lover looking for the same attention his daddy used to give him. Sad little claims he can't/won't back up stalking Vince with his new found man crush. Apparently while secretly admiring pictures of Menefee's ass. Post up a few pictures of the blades you claim to have produced, although I have doubts as grinding blades requires both hands. We'll go back to the realities of actually making and enjoying knives while you continue to work on the "concentration" exercises.

Dale thats a great idea. I'll get some children to laminate tin foil. Like billets. Then I'll cut out & grind em

Really check, Vinny.

To the folks you pimp for and the folks you schmooze here ,I have no doubt they think your're God..

To a LOT of other people on this forum who won't even bother posting on what's become of this knife forum lately because of you- YOU are "nothing"..

Just a blade pimp.

Maybe someday, you can get off your lazy azz and do something with a piece of blade steel that requires more than a hand drill and some sand paper.

I'll leave this thread now, you've been shamed enough.

Seems Freewhore has sold in the classifieds. ut-o

See ya' At this point I'd like to add one more thing freedumbguy ,you're father should've pulled out early

Don't know about anybody else, but I'd pay good money to watch the 'big'un' that builds those 'ugly-assed PARING KNIVES' shake that freedomguy right outta his shirt.....

I really would've liked to see just one knife he built though,I do not think it is possible though,non existent

Afraid that show would be short lived, but exciting for the few seconds that it lasted...

Vince I tbink the problem is he did try to pull our early and left a big stain on his sisters sheets

Apparently, Yours did pull out. After you were born.

If you had a decent father, you would not conduct yourself like such a money grubbing sleazebag.

The sad thing is, you could not grind a decent knife blade if your Yankee azz depended on it.

If you could, you would not be hafting handles on Chicom junk.

Fella's just remember now ,I'm God like ,you heard it.

Hopefully have his name very shortly :)))

Ahh,maybe more like the wizard of Oz

Shake it, baby, shake it......

I guess the threat of being revealed sent him packin.

Was past his bedtime

Nah. Mom said it was past bedtime.....

Didn't mean to scare him away.

You. Chased away our redneck fun

fellows it's obvious this freedom is a juvinile that gets off riling us up with no other intent. i remember one mod on a another forum that called me a lying s.o.b. but when i told him i would meet him in the parking lot at the blade show he hid his head. keyboard nazi that masturibates at his computer while wearing his mothers panties is whom this punk is.--cranky72

I kind of think the fun is yet to come.

Update on these........

Last week was slow I had interruptions. But I am sending these two off to Larry this week for the leather order.
This is MissouriEd's maple burl knife & IntheMts blackwood





I'm probably going to adapt the "fatty" version , as shown,I would only suggest that if you have big hands ,or want a bigger handle feel. Dale Atkerson & FRM will get Bubinga "fatty's" ,GWB's coco is going to be a "fatty style too. The only knives in this batch that I can't do are the maple burl,and stag. But of the maple burl,they are still thicker overall than the previous knives like these I've put together.

Looks good Vince i like the fatty handle, you might want to pencil on it what steel it is or it's not a real knife!! Haha kidding.

The "wang dong shuckster" a classic (grin) Vince they looks great, I am jonesing for that blackwood (LOL)


Randy

Dont be afraid of getting mine to big.

Those are as cool as the other side of the pillow.

That is freekin awesome, can't wait. Very attractive and cool blade.

I showed that cool blade to my wife and she says "that ain't yours anymore, its mine". Damm guess i shouldn't be showing my knives to my wife anymore.

You need to order another one. More knives get taken over in the kitchen than anywhere.

Get her one of my Steak knives I'll be doing a buy of 3 I think,I'll show one soon. It is like a miniature chef knife Great little kitchen knife for sixty bucks!

Here is geedubya's cocobolo

That looks real smart, nice job Vince, maybe i should of went with cocobolo!

The grass is greener on the other side

When the second round flies ,you can order a different flavor

Hey Vincent,
can you make one with nice grained English walnut?

I have figured walnut, but I'm not sure if it is English walnut

Vince,

That looks great. I will be proud to own that and am hereby changing the name of that EDC beauty to the "no ting wong" blade.
