Title: WATER BOTTLES+BOWIE=FUN
Post by: sticshooter on August 09, 2008, 03:00:00 PM

I seen a knifemaker(think it was Lin Rhea) do this on video and thought it was cool. Sad thing is I can't do video. So I had my Shell try and snap a pic. 5 full water bottles and one bowie I made for a Brother ( ANNOINTED ARCHER). One swipe and 5 cut in half. I know it does not prove anything special but man oh man is it fun!<><

That's some good clean cuttin!

I got one for ya. Take an empty cola can and set it on the edge of a table or chunk of firewood. . Slice diagonally though it cutting it clean. I have a picture of me right as I am about to swing. The knife should clear the table edge and the can should be in two peices.

I can do this most of the time, but the edge has to be on the thin side to do well. Plus it takes a slice, not a chop.

The table dont need to have nails or screws along the edge.   :saywhat:  

Here is another time when Starkman and I was in Texas with Curtis Keller. We had some time to kill so we cut a few cans. Lin
