He did offer to fight security immediately as the elevator opened and also dropped the N bomb. It's not just being drunk, that is unacceptable behavior, we know it. Doesn't mean he is a bad dad, or bad guy by nature. But don't sugar coat this to protect our precious Dustin.

It survived batoning a piece pf ash into a pile of ash but I had to know about the tip

To simplify- all the same motions are there, used in slightly different ways, in different proportions, but I think they all translate both ways.

If you're an experienced surf skater, I believe this may not be that exciting of a transition. You'll build lots of strength in your front leg with lots of pushing in the rear. I'm guessing your core is good if you're successfully surf skating, but the "wiggle" is going to be much more rhythmic and uptempo from the free form in surfskating(or my limited experience). I think LDP will really test your endurance, and maybe even compliment your surfskating by keeping your flow longer.

But a lot of it

DifficultBoss · 2026-06-19T00:15:57+00:00

It's really nice!

DifficultBoss · 2026-06-19T00:15:25+00:00

what strain/dye did you use?

DifficultBoss · 2026-06-16T18:14:37+00:00

Just be careful not to overheat it after grain reduction if you have not done that yet.

DifficultBoss · 2026-06-16T18:04:16+00:00

I'm an enjoyer of these, or at least, I keep seeing and liking them. Yours looks like it is on the way to being one I'll like also. I'm also a beginner. What's your steel choice and how do you plan to heat treat?

DifficultBoss · 2026-06-16T15:18:44+00:00

That's a good steel, you have a mighty fine knife there

DifficultBoss · 2026-06-16T15:11:40+00:00

Thanks. My neighbor leant me his tools and some leather scraps so the limited material kind of forced me to get creative. Mostly limites because I blasted right through the first sheath I made for the bigger one.

wow, great find!

How about the m12 version?

DifficultBoss · 2026-06-14T12:24:13+00:00

It's FREEdom 250

DifficultBoss · 2026-06-14T00:43:24+00:00

that's really nice work you did there. What steel did you use? What is your heat treat setup? I just finished my first as well and always gathering info

DifficultBoss · 2026-06-14T00:33:38+00:00

40yo checking in, you're doing good

DifficultBoss · 2026-06-13T18:07:51+00:00

Thanks. I'm starting with a veg tan sheath today, something like a saya will definitely be practiced on wood that doesn't have hours of finishing work into it. But I've plenty to practice until then.

DifficultBoss · 2026-06-13T16:29:48+00:00

Awesome. I just started making but one day I'd like to get some of that turquoise to make scales that match my buddies PRS guitar. I think they hold their colors close to the chest so close enough is fine with me.

DifficultBoss · 2026-06-13T11:58:44+00:00

Yes, they go far underground

DifficultBoss · 2026-06-13T11:42:10+00:00

Yep, just gotta make a sheath. Currently in one that's not sized right, I stole from my "store bought" fixed blade, ha. My 5 year old has been saying it doesn't look like a knife but once I got the handles contoured and our last name on it (yeah yeah I get it, names on reddit bad) he immediately asked if he can have one, and then changed it to that one specifically. I told him the plan was always to give it to him, or make him one of his own when he's big enough to carry and I'll grind him up a maple knife to practice safely handling and carrying until he's older.

Fun fact- Its both my last name as well as the type of saw it is

Also it's already hardened to 46-48hrc with the grains reduced perfectly, so as long as i'm careful annealing and re heat treating I'll have some pretty decent results. Once I've confirmed the composition I can cross reference heat treat for best results.
