So my dad taught me about some etiquette pertaining to being passed by a big rig involving briefly turning your lights on and off when they are trying to merge back in front of you. I also briefly tap my brakes twice as an acknowledgement of one making space and signaling for me to merge in front of them.Bruyere_Royale wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 1:48 pmNice! Let's see your handy work.. I did not get a PM from you but you can ask me here if it's easier.Jlando19 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 1:34 pmI sliced it with an artisan knife I made myself! Haha. Did you ever get a pm from me? I had a question pertaining to trucker behavior for ya.Bruyere_Royale wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 11:41 am Now you need an artisan knife to slice up that Malawi. Aloha.
My experience the other night was while passing a big rig on the left he flashed this rearward facing bright exterior cab light at me. Wondering if it was just a fluke or if it meant something?
I'll post a couple photos of knives here. Hope it doesn't distract too much from the topic.
"Good enough" is a false idol. Beware those that preach its virtue.
That meant either one of two things. He seen you and wanted you to know that because some people get really nervous passing trucks for some reason or there's a bear up ahead and was signaling you to slow down cause knows they are waiting to hand out coupons.

I'm posting these as a response to see some of my handy work from Bruyere_Royale. Hope it doesn't distract too much from the thread and I hope you guys enjoy the photos!
This first one is stainless steel with brown micarta scales and is the one I used to cut my 3P's with.
This second one is a Santoku with maple burl and black resin scales.
This third one is my take on a hunter in stainless steel and dessert iron wood scales.
This fourth image is all stainless steel. Same hunter as the one above but with a smaller version also.. First one has spalted avocado wood on the handle, the other two have dyed leapord wood handles.
Thanks for looking! Now back to your regularly programmed Latest Tobacco Purchases!

Awesome. I figured it had to be something. Most of the trucks I passed on my trip from Michigan to Texas last week were really courteous and followed the rules of the road to the T. Well until you hit Austin then all reason goes out the darn window.Bruyere_Royale wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 7:38 pmThat meant either one of two things.

I could. I recently experienced a little set back with my knife making business and have to recoup. I had a partner and we shared the expenses of some of the more expensive equipment and he took off recently with some of the more critical pieces. So I'm having to rely on some buddies of mine to go over to their shops and get grinding done there.Bruyere_Royale wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 7:47 pmThose are awesome!
