If I do another knife project, it will probably be with a premade blade. Jantz has a nice selection.
I'd be honoured to make a blade for you, if you want... That's a most generous offer, and I'd be most honored as the recipient..shall we take it to email? Cheers Harold I've got some O-1 arriving in a week or two, shall we talk then? |

Harold doesn't even broach on how truly spectacular, and surprising it can be, up in the rockies, to see the lads moving the kraken up there in the sky. Bit of a nuissence (So how do you spell that?), stray tentacle snatching away roof bits once in a blue moon...

Well I've worked among the spitters and I've breathed the oily smoke
I've shovelled up the gypsum and it neigh 'on makes you choke
I've stood knee deep cyanide, got sick with a caustic burn

Different cultures, old chap, the West always was a bit more, ah, boisterous, and less refined than the Old Country.
Of course, for sheer excitement, nothing can match the hunting of the snark.
Cheers

My friend The Billiard Marker keeps inviting me to go Snark hunting with them, something to do with them being one short in the party. I keep making excuses about being too busy, but the truth is that I've heard that Snark hunting can be quite risky for people as beamish as I am. The Boojums are out there! Dr. Q I have heard that trying to corner a Quark is nigh on impossible.  |

Never take the Varteg bus on a cloudy day... the Kraaken swoop down and drag it off... Why, a village high on the hills was eaten by one!

Well, I've seen hawks and eagles lose/drop bits of their prey, so, I would imagine it would be the same with our noble kraken... Cheers Harold |

In part, at any rate.
Heh, the other day i watched a pigeon try to fly away with an entire bun. Buns are obviously not designed for their aerodynamic properties.

I have seen a Duck eat a grape whole... It is highly alarming and amusing at the same time. I have also seen an air Kraaken eat a bus whole... and fall out of the sky, greedy beast...
(the duck 'n' grape bit is true, honest)

I can't believe that anyone thinks that it is a hoax. Why, my crew and I took four full grown beasties on air-kraken day and I have their hides in my hold right now. By the way, the tentacles are almost pure muscle so they make pretty good steaks as long as you go far enough out to get away from the main body.
