"Ahhhh! Good to learn! Thank you
Ever so glad to get edge-ama-cated about something I know nothing about.
Like I said earlier I know nothing about bullet knives beyond what the most common of knowledge might be.
Ask me something about…"

I got caught - Knockoff Spyderco Knife

I do not have many Spyderco knives at all, and was surprised to see a relatively inexpensive one at my local guns shop. It did not have what I have come to view as a trademark thumbhole in the…Continue

"G'morning George
I make NO clains to being knowledgeable about bullet knives at all....\
But just to the common everyday person, The bullet knives started in 1982, right? I found a poster that showed every bullet knife issued up through…"
"I use ULU's at least once a week. They are great for chopping veggies and such"
"A lot more research has gone into this... I did end up ordering TWO handle kits from Ka-Bar. Same shipping for 2 as 1 so I saved a little there. but I have a set for next time.
It looks like the threaded rod is a 8-32 thread, but try…"
"Until I can complete some rather major refurbishments on another ulu, this one will have to be the last one of mine I share.
This is ulu seems to be a blending of design from Iñupiat and Inuit people. The blade is…"
"Another ulu that was in the lot required a new handle. The before, after and details about the repair can be found in the Knife Modification, and Restoration group.
I will not subject you to a reiteration of that information, but rather share…"
"Completely unrelated to knives at the moment...
One thing that I have shared with no one as of yet about this lot; It was found as part of an Alaskan estate. That, coupled with the guesstimate of it being a dough knife, slams into my…"
"Dead Left,
Other than I know the blade is carbon steel, I do not know the exact alloy of the steel. L6 only has about .7% chromium, so that would be plausible. I can possibly take it to work and shoot it with our little X-ray gun…"
"Probably the newest of the knives in the small lot I recently acquired, this particular knife is not one of my favorites being as it is entirely metal. The straight design of the blade without the flared tips has me questioning if this is…"
"Similar to Lars, my first ulu was a 'souvenir' ulu from when my sister went to Alaska several years ago. I spent several weeks in that area (Alaska, the Yukon, and the NW territory) back in 1989. During my visit, I saw a few…"
"Just an additional side note : Every knife in the small 'lot' have carbon steel blades."
"I recently was given the chance to purchase a small 'lot' of ulu knives. Most of these looked pretty old and all showed significant signs of corrosion. Some people would call that 'patina', and then wonder why the…"
"Very good information Lars!
And thank you for the links! I checked them all out and they confirmed what little bit I thought I knew and what I was seeing so far.
The creation and and now existence of this sub-group provides a good landing…"

Thanks for the welcome message Kevin. I wonder what type of knife Godzilla would carry? Multi-tool, or would they be too hard to open? Fixed blade, maybe a Smatchet Cas Iberia Viking Sword as a neck knife? Auto or manual folder - Cold Steel pocket sword (Voyager XL Vaquero)? Perhaps a Spyderco Salt since he seems to spend a lot of time in the ocean?

Hi Kevin. Apologies for not seeing this sooner. My profile pic was a stock photo, but dad is an avid tool collector and has boxes and boxes of those things. Actually he WAS an avid tool collector until mom put the brakes on him because they were running out of room in the house. She understands the passion for collecting, but his addiction was making life a bit difficult. He too is a fan of Stanley anything. Stay well and thanks!

Hey man...thanks for the friend request...of course I accepted! As for sending private messages, this is just fine - but if you truely want to send a private message - use the iKC email - upper right hand corner of your page in the area of your name, sign out, Fried requests, etc...
I wanted to start a formal stand-alone CFK group, but I could not accurately gauge if it would be accepted or not - so I started the it as a sub-group in the Box Full of Knives Box of Knives. I'm glad i did - as I commented to Lead Left Knife Guy , I seem to be the only one playing in that sand box at the moment, and I'm not sure my ego could manage no one join a group! LoL!
Right now it looks like it's just my thread....but if you add a post to it, then it will be as it is intended - a place to appreciate the CFK/iPAC brand.
