I thought i was the only one.Thanks Grumpy,
I have mentioned it earlier-Leatherman has a very sharp and strong blade but the grip is positively painful-cant use a lot of force-good for delicate use like nose/needle pliers-try cutting or crushing and palms hurt.How did you manage on the latest deer shot?

Mack The Knife, rechecked on my design and-its definitely not graceful or utilitarian.guess we'll leave it to individual sensibilities and not have something which looks 'offensive' for IFG.Will post after I finish with it...
Going by the current requirements and political correctness, there's very little to add to your design.Why dont we go for it by common consensus?

Ok Mack The Knife,
There I go, no clip points, all blades 100-110mm, no graph paper.
All full tang, easy on the bladesmith!!
Prefer a little fuller belly on the knife.Hopefully teak handles-nothing exotic.Only tang depicted without slabs...Didnt smoke anything but the post dinner ciggie-hope you dont find them too bizarre?

???? That final design is an axe Asif ! Looks like a series of developmental pictures from the Charles Atlas school of body-building. "Are you a 6oz weakling ? Get sand kicked in your face ? Subscribe to my body building course and in 6 weeks you can look like this !"
The alternative is that the knife is over-indulging on poppadoms and is getting progressively obese !
Let me guess - you call that final design the `Fat Boy`!
( You`ll notice that I haven`t provided any drawings - I`m not stupid, some so-and-so would only mock my designs .............................. ! )

Nice going, Asif!

I would go for the first one but with one minor change - increase the length of the tang.

Grumpy, that Charles Atlas bit was a blast from the past.

Showing my age eh ?
Oh well. Nothing wrong with the occasional rave from the grave.
Even when I was a kid Charles Atlas looked somewhat past it - I hear that he was Sampsons personal coach..............
I quite like Asifs` first design as well......but he must have dinky little hands - either that or the knife is 15" long !

HO Grumpy, rave from the grave-worth the time in 'designing' my knives to hear something as juicy as that.

Just to hear more, will add on more designs...
No dinky fingers,more like a lost sense of perspective

Not to be pedantic but I think you meant to say proportion.

Speaking as the arch-pedant I think `Perspective` also works......and could be a clever pun.

semantics, semantics...

Or:
`Pedantics, pedantics`; Or.
`You say tomato and I say..................`; Or
`Semantics ? Schlemantics`; Or, going back to the second,
`Let`s call the whole thing off`.

You can`t make a silk purse out of a pigs ear Dev.
I don`t think I`ve ever had a .22 lr revolver. I quite fancied getting a S&W `Kit` gun several years ago but never found one.....and had a hankering for an H&R for some reason......mostly because of the 9-round cylinder I suspect.
What am I talking about - I had a S&W K22 Target - nice gun.
If I can ever assist in any way with firearms acquisition just let me know.

Your real friends will know you better than family...that has just been proven by the good Doc. Thanks Grumpy I know what you are saying...I was just trying to be funny. A .22 revolver I really adored was the Ruger single six...it came with an extra magunum cylinder and was really nice to shoot. Man I could hear the tune from 'the good, the bad and the ugly' while shooting it.

Regards,

Dev
