Anyone on here consider themselves a knife looney? I fear I may become one. I'm already a recovering rifle looney. What are the symptoms of knife loonyism?

When I'm on retainer with you,it's bad

I would love to be a knife looney, but my status as a limited income retired gent precludes that.

Friendly bump for Geedubya!

+1 to that....

If you have to ask..........

+2

he never ceases to amaze me, name a maker and hes got it.

GW for sure. I know a bunch of makers that qualify. I've had knves for the last 61 years. I'm close to 67.

Japanese knife looney - virtuovice . . . This guy is a doctor living in Sapporo Japan. It would be a blast to have him on the fire!

And to borrow his expression - Ya!

It sneaks up on you. Like good whiskey 😄 A knife was always a tool that I used. Until a few years ago, then the sickness set in and it's been race between knives, rifles and old s&w pistols.

10/4 on that!


I might add,

you might be a knife looney if..........





you have the "knife-father", VinceM, haft you a piece of carbon steel with maple scales so you can cut a piece of pie!


or

Take time to take pix of knives while gathering essential supplies when a hurricaine is imminent ..........





or




invest several thousand dollars and untold amount of time just to craft sheaths for knives that you've asked knife-makers not to send sheaths with, cause you want to roll your own!



or




make a drawing of something you think you can't live without and because you don't have the skill to do it yourself, ask a half-dozen different makers if they would be interested in creating their interpretation?


ya!

I make my own, have for a few years. I see something I like and I try to imitate it. I keep thinking I'm gonna find one that scratches the itch and won't need to build more........yeah I know its never going to happen.

ain't dat da' truth!

one more "or", and I"ll stop for now!






drive a couple hundred miles to take Pix of a copy of a Randall #1 Fighter that you got from a friend after waiting 3 years, along with spent bullets that were fired from big-bore handguns into animals that guys paid several thousand dollars to shoot just so they could see how said bullets performed.




ya!

Well, if you're going to be a "knife looney," you should start with a knife from this fellow.

I thought I was. Even making knives now... But I will never catch GDub.

Should I send a few here a couple of my very humble and simple creations just to say you have one from a maker GW doesn't ? Laffin'!

American craftsmen surpassed European knife and beer makers years ago.

Ah, memories,

btw,

is a "red" appropriate with pork?



Quien Sabe?
