Hello, All!I'm about to hit a personal milestone: 10 years of not smoking! Okay, it's not like some other addictions, but it's still worth celebrating. Especially since we had a layoff on my 1st…Continue

Every year we have an excuse to buy a new knife -- National Knife Day, every August 24!
Yeah, I know it's a holiday made up by a marketing department to sell knives, & none of us really need an excuse to buy another knife.
That aside, what are your plans for celebrating...? :)
Camillus CK9: The knife used by Dual Survival's Grady Powell
Posted on May 5, 2016 at 22:12 3 Comments 2 Likes
Recently I had the chance to watch another episode of the current season of Dual Survival, & again got to see Grady Powell using the Camillus CK9. Somewhere I saw someone online stating that Grady Powell designed the knife, but I have not yet been able to confirm or deny this.

Okay, this is an interesting story. I don't know what to think of it. I'm a big fan of TOPS Knives, but this story is too important to not post something about it.
Knife throwing, anyone? Anyone?

Are there any other knife throwers here? If so, anyone recognize the logo on the cup? :)
I notice there's not a group for throwers, hm...

KnifeMakerChris Mounce said… That knife is actually for a good friend of mine. He wanted something unique and one of a kind but not to flashy. He loved it and wants a Bk-9 done next so I think he might be getting the Ka-bar bug too! Gotta love it! Really glad that I found you guy's...most people get bored with all my knife talk. Lol

I started out sewing by hand, and later bought a heavy duty machine. I've actually been giving serious thought to selling my sewing machine and pursuing other hobbies.
