Orange beast

Finished up another knife last week. Only bummer is that it's got quite a few imperfections in it. It's got a great edge, made of O-1 tool steel, and I hardened and tempered it finishing at a Rockwell C 59. Should be a good useful blade, but not nice enough to sell. So, I'll probably just beat it up in the field. I think it'll live in the tool box on my quad. Orange G10 scales with blue liners. I'm hopping I don't have to wreck too many more knives before I get building some that are worthy of giving to people.

Minus 30 Celsius will test a car. If it passes, you will come out knowing what the weak points of your vehicle are. I learned my starter isn't all what it once was. A little Friday evening swap-er-oni-ru. There is a satisfaction that comes from getting your hands dirty, fixing stuff

and making things last.
