Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL: Hold the fucking phone, are you saying my drinking is actually good for keto?! I like this new science.

I like this new science. If that is not what you meant, I am going with what I wrote. Probably been answered by now, but Ketosis is different than Ketoacidosis. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rbb2: Good to know, I feel the same. What was your issue? I contacted them via email multiple times with a question over the course of several weeks. they would not respond. found a phone number for them somehow, had to call and leave a VM, they finally responded via email with one word, "no". No apology for the delay, no explanation, just no. Don't even remember what the question was, but made it real easy to say "no" to their products going forward. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Star_Scream: That's been my issue! The handle on the Hattin just looks big and blocky! I haven't had a way to illustrate it but you just summed it up perfectly! Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Star_Scream: Originally Posted By rbb2: Here's the only complaint I have on the Hattin after having it in hand four whole hours: the handle is larger than necessary. Compare it to the Hati, with almost identical cutting edge length. The distance from the "guard" to the start of the edge is much longer, and the handle is much longer. I don't mind the bulk in the middle, as it fills the hand very very well, it just seems like it's longer than it needs to be. It feels excellent in the hand, though, and it's by no means a deal breaker, and I know that Shiro is basically the king of edge/handle ratio. Just the one gripe so far. Well, that and the disc being too small, but Pete Gray has already shipped out a fix for that, so.... https://i.imgur.com/rpN0o4n.jpg That's been my issue! The handle on the Hattin just looks big and blocky! I haven't had a way to illustrate it but you just summed it up perfectly! I dont know a better way to explain it other than Emerson's come alive in the hand for me. They feel much better than they initially look IMO/IME. Just my two cents. I'm not a fanboi blindly following the Gospel of St Ernest....but I like the knives. I like Kuraki's knives too, but he seems rather reluctant to make folders at the moment. |

At this point though I have spent more time searching than it would probably take to just do it. I have 9mm casings laying around, I'll just go try it. I've honestly been trying. Closest I've seen was This. I bought a bunch of blue Ti parts from the guy I'm thinking of. I traded the knife away with the parts. The guy I'm thinking of did a bunch of colored Ti parts, LBSs/Thumbdisks and beads. Probably easier to make one. |

On the 560, you actually have a longer useable blade edge @ 3.75" vs 3.5" on the xm24 due to the finger choil forward of the flipper.    |

I went back and looked again, is it just the looks of having a gap around the head of the screw? What if you flipped the spent primer over, knocked the anvil out, pressed it in the case and drilled a hole for the screw to pass through? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DFARM: The screw head goes through the flash hole? Is there enough threads for a washer? In your pic, it looks like the flash hole was drilled out the same size as the primer pocket itself. There was no drilling. The primer pocket is too deep for how thin it needs to be. So the hole is the primer pocket. I tried to leave it deep enough to have material left at the bottom of the primer pocket, but the height was too much and interfered with the pocket clip. It needs to be the thickness of the rim essentially. I looked for a washer and nothing I had would work. I thought about gluing a washer to the under side of the 9mm rim. That would work. If I could find a washer that worked. I swear I had some. |

I had the good fortune of being able to hold WIC's Kwaiken and Hattin at the same time. The kwaiken felt more nimble in the hand, but the Hattin fit my hands better and felt like more of an extension of my hand than the Kwaiken did. By way of comparison, the Tiger fits my hand perfectly, the 8F is a VERY close second, then the as a close third. The Commander and P-SARK follow that.....Kwaiken fits in between the P-SARK and Commander for hand fit. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DFARM: Thanks! If I'm honest, the plates jumped out at me too. Lol Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DFARM: Originally Posted By it20: I really like the blade shape soooo much. Awesome job DFARM!!!!! Question on the fancy plates, are they smooth are have valleys in the details? Thanks! If I'm honest, the plates jumped out at me too. Lol The point of the photographs was NOT the plates... it was your awesome knife. Okay.... quick rundown on DFarm's awesome kitchen knife that I have been so lucky to purchase: I've only used it to cut Bell Peppers and Pork Chops so far. The knife is sharp. The blade is a hair under 3 inches long. OAL is right at 7 inches. The handle is smooth and well contoured and fits the hand well. I wear XL gloves and it fits my hands, and my 8 year old daughter had no problems wielding it on the peppers. I've been studying the knife and looking for any flaws in the interest of honest feedback/critique...and the only thing I can find is size of the blade. That blade shape in a 5-7 inch knife would be fantastic. This size is very useful as utility knife, but bigger would be nice in this shape for kitchen. The fit and finish is solid. The knife cuts very well and until I told my daughter the knife was very sharp, she was being kinda low key with it...meaning it was not intimidating to her. With regard to cost vs value (to the user)....I know DFarm is trying to get his work out and into the world for review, but I got WAAAAAAAY more knife than I paid for. I should be telling you guys his knife is awful and not to buy his knives so I can commission a full set of kitchen knives from him...but I'd be lying and doing his work a disservice. @DFarm....You knocked it out of the park, Brother. When you move to Missouri, I'll be driving down to pester you for more knives. I will bring beverages of your choice and I can behave in a forge. |
