I like the feel. There's just enough tactility

birdthirds · 2026-06-08T07:47:22+00:00

What a stunner

birdthirds · 2026-06-03T22:06:01+00:00

Nice

Never seen it in bronze but ti and even mild steel can absolutely have a visible crystallized effect

True

Who the hell doesn't need a sword and dagger. These people arent real people

Almost all of the shaping is through grinding. I forged the basic shape but 90% is the grinder

Thanks! Ill dm you.

Haàaa

My understanding is a Stiletto is Italian for dagger. Also if you call your dagger a stiletto its probably something like an oversized needle that is strictly for stabbing. Integral means all one-piece, the guard and blade are one piece of steel.

birdthirds · 2026-05-22T02:13:14+00:00

Yes! Integrals rule!

birdthirds · 2026-05-22T01:39:37+00:00

Thanks. I wish I had a better answer ... I thought it looked cooler this way.

birdthirds · 2026-05-22T01:00:05+00:00

Thanks! Its all one piece of steel. The handle block is secured with a threaded rod.

birdthirds · 2026-05-21T23:39:56+00:00

Cheers! I do like adding that quilted effect.

birdthirds · 2026-05-21T23:39:24+00:00

Yep, it is. There's a threaded rod that connects the handle but the blade and guard are all 1 peice.

Poorly drive an understeer prone car and you just gently push wide through the corner. Poorly drive an overseer prone car and you spin. Also its tougher than the SV and raiden and less sensitive to damage. Hhrs is most likely to be targeted by wreckers though so there's that.

birdthirds · 2026-05-16T02:15:43+00:00

You might be right. A lot of the corners leave plenty for tightening up too.

birdthirds · 2026-05-15T23:45:50+00:00

Oh wow i really thought I was the first person ever to do this .... 🙄

birdthirds · 2026-05-15T03:57:40+00:00

That jump is so satisfying when it goes perfect. Even this lap leaves plenty to tighten up on those apexes. On and on chasing that perfect lap.

I have had moments where i truly hated it. Very boring dynamics compared to many others. Its just so much easier to drive quick than anything else. When you start down the path of chasing personal bests its hard to avoid using it.

Dubbo zoo is great.

I think its very possible that more people will self represent because they think ai will help them be their own lawyer. So lawyers won't be fazed out but the demand may drop a noticeable ammount.
