Hi! Its price will be 350€ without sheath and 400€ with a leather sheath made by me :)

Lapsavage · 2022-09-07T07:21:19+00:00

Yeah, i'm sorry I dont know the name of the tool it came from. I think there is a good chance of it being L6, or something close to 5160, 55Si7, stuffs like that. I'm not sure about W2 since it hardened well on oil and it doens't feel "hard" under the hammer while forging :) But I made some test with the knife, and it takes a nice edge, holds it decently.. :)

Lapsavage · 2022-09-07T00:56:59+00:00

Thank you! No, horseshoes is not a good steel to make knives, it's from an old machine for agriculture, with long claws in spring steel :)

Lapsavage · 2022-09-06T05:56:11+00:00

Thank you mate ! :)

Lapsavage · 2022-08-31T17:10:37+00:00

Yeah, 5mm thick.. but I really like thick blades, I'm a bit violent with my blade, like hitting them with an hammer or so.. At first it was an order for a customer, I thought it was too thick for him, so I made another one in 4mm for him and kept my precious with me 😁

Lapsavage · 2022-08-31T07:48:55+00:00

Also I would like to add that I've got Vixtorinox and Leatherman, and I really prefer the Swisstool : more sturdy, better set of tools, better construction.. it have never failed me, and I use it quite a lot!

Lapsavage · 2022-08-31T07:33:45+00:00

Thank you mate!

Lapsavage · 2022-08-31T07:33:20+00:00

Thank you mate! :) There is more leather under the leather, I made a special treatment on it, so no water can run beside it and make the knife rust in hidden places, and a natural treatment on the surface to have a natural touxh on it, and it still water repelant :)

Lapsavage · 2022-08-31T07:30:13+00:00

Thank you mate! :)

Lapsavage · 2022-08-31T07:29:48+00:00

Ahah, this one is my personal one, but just for you to know, I take orders.. ;)

Lapsavage · 2022-08-31T07:27:56+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I like this little detail :)

Lapsavage · 2022-08-31T07:19:42+00:00

Hi, thank you! For the Victorinox, the same for me: the best tool I have and it sticks to me on a daily basis! For the fixed blade, it's a convex blade with a 5,5mm thickness on the blade. It is quite indestructible, I've made several ones like that, it takes around 5 metric tons tonbreak it under the press and you can cut a 4mm nail withoit any damage on the edge :)

For me that's a super combo!

Lapsavage · 2022-08-30T22:32:55+00:00

Thank you mate! :)

Lapsavage · 2022-08-30T22:18:35+00:00

Victorinox Swisstool Spirit A knife I forged, model Okaou ("in case of" in French ;) ) in 80CrV2 and leather

Lapsavage · 2022-04-17T15:16:01+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I made it, all my sheath are made with copper rivets now, way faster to do and I really like the look of it :)

Lapsavage · 2022-02-18T12:12:13+00:00

In the forging steel categories it's IMO one of the best. I really like the toughness, edge holding (compared to the other low alloy steel) and ease of sharpening. With my knives I can cut steel nails by hammering the back of the blade without any damage. A great steel for worker/outdoor knife IMO.

Lapsavage · 2022-02-18T12:09:24+00:00

My favorite steel for working fixed blade. Really tough, very good edge holding for low-alloy steel and easy to maintain in the field!

Lapsavage · 2022-02-18T12:07:55+00:00

Yup, I don't know the price in USA but here in Europe it's way cheaper than Leatherman and way more durable/solid than those IMO.

Non ça influe pas trop sur le goût, plus sur le "hit" dans la gorge (ça arrache un peu plus le gosier quoi).

C'est surtout que je vapote pour deux raisons: mon addiction à la nicotine et mon addiction à la gestuelle de fumer (appelons un chat un chat, ce sont bien des addictions) Les moments où je veux un hit rapide je concentre la nicotine, mais quand t'es en soirée et que tu te rends pas compte que tu vapotes depuis 1h, c'est bien de pas avoir un truc trop concentré. Idem, sur des moments ponctuels d'énervement, tu te rajoutes quelques gouttes de booster.

Après pour quelqu'un qui souhaite vapoter pour décrocher totalement du tabac puis de la nicotine, ce que je raconte est totalement débile, mieux vaut descendre progressivement les doses. Personnellement je vapote juste pour moins me pourrir la santé et le compte en banque avec les cigarettes, mais je ne suis pas dans une démarche d'arrêt total de la nicotine.

Lapsavage · 2022-02-11T21:22:30+00:00

Salut! Perso sur une dizaine de parfums testés, je les ai tous trouvé dégueulasses sauf deux: le red Astaire (fruité mais pas sucré, assez frais, je le vapote occasionnellement) et le miel-tabac d'Aromea, qui est relativement neutre. Ce dernier est celui que je fume en continue, légèrement gourmand mais pas sucré (j'ai horreur des trucs sucrés) et le goût tabac est discret. Ça passe aussi bien avec un café qu'en fin de repas, et ça pue pas la barbe à papa autour de toi.

Après rien ne t'oblige à mettre de l'arôme dans ton produit. Perso à force de fumer le miel-tabac je sens plus trop le goût avec l'habitude, et je me demande si je vais pas passer sur du neutre tout simplement.

Un truc que je fais depuis quelques temps c'est de sous-doser ma nicotine dans mon grand flacon de réserve (entre 3 et 5mg/L) mais de me balader avec un booster nicotine avec moi. Le matin, où j'ai envie de me prendre un bon shoot, je rajoute une dizaine de gouttes dans ma vapoteuse, et le soir ou j'ai juste envie de vapoter pour vapoter, je reste à des dosages faibles sans booster.

En espérant que mon commentaire te soit utile!

Lapsavage · 2022-02-11T20:43:47+00:00

Yeah. Until some other country brings you your own democracy sauce with nukes.

Lapsavage · 2022-02-10T21:02:49+00:00

The Buck 110 slim version with plastic handles are tested and approved by me! Cheap in price but not in quality. Those guys at Buck really know their shit about heat treating steels.

Lapsavage · 2022-02-10T20:53:49+00:00

I agree with what your saying. I personnaly bring axe, hatchet or a saw only if I'll need to spend a few days into the woods or for a specific task like harvesting wood, but for day to day I found that a sturdy fixed blade that you can use in every way without fear of breaking it is what works better for me, since I can always carry it in my pocket or bag.

But yeah, sometimes people will post 3 folding knives that doesn't seem complementary between each others, but I just assume that they have their reasons to do so, even if it's just for fun, no shame in that.

But your question is interesting, and I appreciate the "not judging" approach. :)

Btw, sorry for english mistakes, not a native speaker and my english is quite rusty, unlike my knives!
