Great idea! The tie-wrap manufacturers should love it. If you'll draft the Business Plan and Prospectus, I'll pay the postage for them using USPS' Flat Rate postage. (#28)

Comment by Terry Waldele on May 13, 2010 at 1:27: Hi Alec,
I'm a night owl mainly because my wife has a sleep disorder and I'm up when she's up. I'm sure glad iKC is a 24/7 operation. You can only watch so many Turner Classic Movies without your brain turning into a gelatinous mass of goo.

In Memoriam Comment by D ale on May 13, 2010 at 1:06: .. came across it @ http://thereifixedit.com/ ..

I'm game .. maybe we can hit tie-wrap's marketing dept up for funding .. you know .. kinda like duct tape applications on steroids ..

Comment by Terry Waldele on May 13, 2010 at 0:41: Dale, that's FUNNY!!! Seeing your photo, I smell a contest coming, a contest to see who can think up the most bizarre use for tie-wraps. (Of course, entries must be accompanied by a photo.) Should the contest result in a tie (no pun intended), it will be broken by a hoop tossing contest using hoops made out of tie-wraps. What do you think? Will this absolutely brilliant idea cut the mustard?

In Memoriam Comment by D ale on May 12, 2010 at 21:33: Terry .. remember that tie-wrap mod to the spyderco that started a bunch of this .. thanks for posting .. I see it's catching on everywhere ......

Comment by J.J. Smith III on May 12, 2010 at 11:38: That's Terry.

Comment by AlecsKnives on May 12, 2010 at 4:52: Lol thanks Terry, what are you doing up at this hour?.....

Comment by Terry Waldele on May 12, 2010 at 3:35: Alec, I love your "...cut the stupid bickering in washington and get some decent work done for us working guys..." And J.J., be cool! If you "don't cut nobody no slack", you may be heading for the "unkindest cut of all." Anyway, you're both "a cut above" in my book.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on May 12, 2010 at 0:00: Har-de-har-har,
Last time I looked, the canvas riggers bag, that I carry my carvin stuff in, had 13 knives either in or on the bag.
Got all but #26 taken care of.
(I don't cut nobody no slack...)

Comment by AlecsKnives on May 11, 2010 at 23:36: HA I love it... a few more things we could slash with a good magic piece of cutlery... Slash the national debt, cut of the flow of oil in the gulf, cut the stupid bickering in washington and get some decent work done for us working guys. I am sure i could think of more.. but thats a pretty good start.
