Re: Any Double Bladed Desires?
I love my Micarta mini Dyad. Probably too radical a design but I would like to see a dual knife with a one sided chisel grind on each. Now for the more radical part. It would have no scales. The dual frame lock center piece would act as the frame and would be a kind of S shape. The pivot would hold ...

Re: Hey Sal - any news on the Maxamet Military?
A magnacut or LC200N salt Millie or Millie 2 would have more mass appeal than Maxamet imho. I see a Magnagut Millie 2 Salt being the most likely of that combo but the added toughness of the LC200N would be more true to the functionality of the blade shape. An impervious and tough Millie is an attrac...

Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!
I had a funny thought about making a cork handle so it floats. Could be a good salt water fixed fish knife.

Re: Boating and lanyards
I’ve donated thousands of dollars of gear to the sea gods, haha. I started using these years ago and they have worked perfectly and saved both my knife and my phone (in a waterproof case) multiple times. https://i.imgur.com/S5Dy8FS.jpg Lanyards are fine for “boating” IMO but when landing a big fish...

Here’s an Amazon link to the floats I use if anyone’s interested. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09733N1KR?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I had the idea of using silicone tubing which I have not tested yet because the tubing can have more than one purpose and that is similar to what you h...

Re: Boating and lanyards
This hits home to me since I lost a Spyderco Civilian while kayaking. I may need to make a cork handle and sheath for a Spyderco Mule. A nice comfy fat cork handle on a Mule may be the bees knees. The ceramic mule is only 2.5 OZ so it should float just with a nice cork handle.

Re: Boating and lanyards
I may need to get the LC200N Catcherman as well and put a three cork lanyard on it so it is impervious to rust and sinking.

Re: Boating and lanyards
Real corks won’t take on that much water and the glued together corks have less air. I only tested real corks and champagne corks. Champagne corks I tested were half whole cork and half glued bits of cork. I would just run a paracord sheath through a champagne cork or two as needed.

Re: Boating and lanyards
Ok, 5 corks kept my endura from sinking as did 4 champagne corks for you fancy types. Also fun fact, so did one regular size pharmacy empty medicine bottle. So, roughly one cork per ounce of knife. So a Para 3 lightweight needs 3 corks, dragonfly, 2 corks, and the ladybug needs only 1 cork. So, it’s...

Re: Boating and lanyards
The buoyant force on an object equals the weight of the fluid it displaces. In equation form, Archimedes’ principle is F B = w fl , where F B is the buoyant force and w fl is the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. https://pressbooks.online.ucf.edu/phy2048tjb/chapter/14-4-archimedes-princip...

Re: Boating and lanyards
Real cork must be at least 50% air by my guess. ****! Now I need to find some corks to defend my honor. How many corks needed to float every knife model list is needed.
