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

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
here in Finland its normal that people have Leatherman or samll puukko in their pocket, its ok as long they are hidden

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!!

Are those scratches on your keyboard from your knife?
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

and yeah my keyboard has taken some hit, just like my table
EDIT: the blade is actually little larger

double posting is when you send a message right after the previous one... one month later, you should be safe
Very nice work Jake! You can be proud of the result, impressive!!
