As a young kid I always had one in my pocket, to cut sausage and bread for my meal in the wilderness, or cut some wood to make a slingshot :D
that made me really lol, then my bro next to me ask me why I lol so i showed him and he lol

we don't carry knives in aus because if your caught with one with out a very good reason $1000 on the spot fine, and if its around a night club its a $2000

inonickname: yes, a belt sander. Its the most used tool in knifemaking :D

here in Finland its normal that people have Leatherman or samll puukko in their pocket, its ok as long they are hidden :D puukko is more a tool than average knife, its not ment for killing

It opens in a flash, I love smith and wesson knives! If they ever break, you can mail them in to the company and they will fix it and or send you a brand new one. I am actually a collector of s & w knifes. at last count, I had 35!!

inonickname, i bought it when i started making knifes, 4" wide, cheap chinese sander, it was like 100€. still works like a charm after many years of use

Are those scratches on your keyboard from your knife? :D
I kinda like the last one better because it had a bigger blade but still nice work!

the blade is actually pretty same size, those big bolsters just make it looks smaller :D and yeah my keyboard has taken some hit, just like my table :D :D

EDIT: the blade is actually little larger :D

double posting is when you send a message right after the previous one... one month later, you should be safe :D
