Cruwear Millie abuse (graphic content)

a knife sticking into an animal, might want to post a warning in the title next time.

If lance is posting just know that there will be a knife in a fish in at least one picture! Haha

Great story, and nice clip placement!

Warning!!! Pics of a man using a knife to do knife things on a knife forum.

I'm not going to rant about how soft people are becoming, with all of our meat/fish/poultry neatly "harvested" and wrapped for us to buy in the market without ever getting our tender office hands dirty. Biting my tongue.

Lance I think you had a typo on the thread title and accidentally put "ab" on the front of the word use...? All I see is reasonable Military use :D

Rust happens. It can be cleaned up for the most part. Wear, pitting, stains, it's all just character.

Funny you say that Dave. I actually had that very thought as I was posting. "Hard use" would probably have been more accurate. I guess the two things that made me still label it as "abuse" were the fact that I was using a tool steel in such a corrosive environment and I was doing some pretty heavy prying/twisting/levering with a folding knife when getting the blade into that bony head. I guess I didn't "abuse" it too much though since it seems no worse for wear.

Not sure if serious?

Very cool stuff! I always enjoy your posts. Thank you.

[Midnightrider]

Great story as usual and super nice fish. Thanks for posting this.

Been way too long since I did any salt water fishing. I always enjoy your exploits vicariously.

I can only add to what has already been said. Great thread as always and thanks for sharing as well as the pics.

The best part is the knife handled it right? That's why I love the Military so much. It walks the line between overbuilt hard use pry bar knife and slicer, it takes more than a reasonable amount of abuse and keeps on going.

Fair enough, more than a few of my posts are irreverent sarcasm. In this case however i am serious, as a vegan and one of the "soft" members of the forum, i prefer not to see animals "brained", regardless of the context. Im not going to freak out for having been subjected to said image, but if its ok to voice my opinion about preferring not to i would like to do so, as a customer that also uses spyderco knives for other "knife related things". Past threads have had blood warnings and i appreciated that foresight so i could avoid the thread without having to derail it as i am in this one. Sorry for the interruption.

[Ncmiked]

I know what you mean^^^^^^^. Every time I see a head of lettuce get chopped up, it gives me the willies.

[bearfacedkiller]

I enjoy your sense of humor cheddarnut and I actually didn't take your post as seriously as you meant it. Now that is see that you were being quite serious my response could be a bit jerkish. Sorry. It is probably best that you avoid most of Lance's threads just as a precaution. This is standard content in them.

First of all being a vegan doesn't make you soft and neither does a preference to not see dead animals. My wife is not a vegan or vegetarian, and doesn't like to see dead land animals. I grew up hunting but am respectful of her wishes. You were respectful in your retort and deserve it in return

[jpm2]

"Use what you got" is good stuff. If it struggles, then you know, otherwise you don't.
I only had an m2 blade for many, many years and spent some of that time with it in the marsh redfishing. It's probably half the corrosion resistance of cruwear and survived well. It wasn't scared.

Thank you for that sir, I was pulling quotes from other comments and didnt mean to make you culpable for them due to my limited tech skills as i've never multi quote responded. Civility much appreciated.

Really!?

Being new to the forum and around knives stuck in animals for a long time ( butcher by trade, and it's how you get the steaks people eat)

So is it just the full animal ? So if I posted a knife in a piece of steak, sausage or fish fillet would I need a warning ?

Just trying to work out your logic for a warning on a knife forum.

[Evil D]

Really really!?

Guys...no reason to make arses of yourselves. That's not what this forum is about. This is a family oriented forum and there are definitely youngsters viewing the forum, so a little discretion never hurts. Bashing on a fellow member for their views isn't helpful at all.

Cheddar, Lance is usually pretty good about titling in warnings for this sort of thing, slip ups happen. I think if you had simply PM'ed him and asked nicely he would have changed the image or taken it down.
