Meat tests-Mark Goldsworthy's Custom Pakals

[gb12549]

Hey Doc, you ever think of using an uncured ham for your testing instead? If you get one that is bone-in, it tends to be very inexpensive per-pound and you get a real bone to check your reactions against rather than trying to simulate it.

Get a big enough one and you can get a whole mess of testing done on the cheap! :)

+1 on that! Any Latino or Filipino can sing the praises of a pernil ( a.k.a. Fresh ham, Pork Shoulder or Picnic cut). My own humble cut tests are always on one, and that bone in + human like skin really simulate the deflections that happen real world.
Then after a few days in my mojo criollo and a 12 hr slow roast, well, that knife comes in handy for keeping thieves at bay! I can hear that skin crackin' from the other side of the house! :D

Now that I finally found my grail knife...in a Mark Goldsworthy Custom Pikal fighter...don't know If I'll be doing any more meat tests....since I test all my new knives before EDCing them....don't know if there will be any more new knives....except for the new one Mark is making for me.....and future one's I am planning to have made.....soooooo.....someone else might have to become the new meat tester........I'll be taking applications for the position in the very near future.....apply with your $100 registration fee.... :eek: ...hmmm...don't blame me I got to find a way to pay for all these custom knives...LOL....Doc :D

Hello all,
Just got this photo from Mark and he said THIS ONE IS MINE !!!
I should have it after this weekend and I can't wait to feel it in hand.

Mark was just GREAT to work with and he LISTENED to my ideas and helped make my dream EDC P'Kal knife a reality.

We skootched it out a bit for a 3 1/2" double edged cutting length , he did a little jimping on the "top" for when its held in the Saber Grip , and helped me come up with the cool Thumb Cap / Skull Crusher / Laynard Hole for when held in a P'Kal Grip.

I just can't say enough good things about Mark --- Great Craftsman , Great Family Man , Great American, and just a Great Guy to have make you a true custom knife , just as YOU want it.

I own over 200 edged weapons and this one will have a special place for me -- right on my belt where it belongs for EDC . And for me , it is "special" in another way also -- Mark did almost 99.9% of the work on it on 9/11/11.

Thanks Mark and Thanks to you also Doc S ---- PS -- there just might be a pork roast that needs to be taugth a lesson in manners :D

Hi DaBird!

Tried to contact you through e-mail, but they have been bouncing back to me. Anyways, I'm going to the Post Office tomorrow to ship your knife out.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it for you!

God bless.
