John McPherson Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Your copper hilts and guards are made from bits of Pappy's still that the durn Revenuers blew up.All of your home built shop equipment was made from parts off of old cars and appliances........in your front yard.

Frosty Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Not only are all your power tools and equipment made from auto and appliance parts, your shop foundation is car frames still on the cinder blocks, the walls and roof are car hoods and trunk lids. Car doors have built in windows so you just have to talk the wife out of the new addition so the shop can have an openable window.Frosty The Lucky..

Benton Frisse Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 You might be a redneck knife maker if...You make your mokume gane fittings from quarters. Tongs? You mean channel locks? Your favorite stand up comedy to watch on TV is the Cutlery Corner Shopping Network. *GENUINE CARBON STEEL, HAND FORGED LOLOLOLOL*It's a frequent line for your wife to say "Honey, your knives are stinkin' up my oven again!"You reuse all of your old NASCAR shirts to make micarta.

rockstar.esq Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 You quench your knives in used deep fryer oil....Then temper them in the kitchen oven...And your family comes into the kitchen wondering who's burning the fries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Wife does not wonder if she finds the kitchen oven pre heating to 450F and there is no food in sight, while you are working in the shopShe is also trained to look in the kitchen oven BEFORE she turns it on to preheat for cooking, to make sure all the knives have already been removed.

Nobody Special Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Y'all stop pickin' on me.Heck, ya ain't even mentioned the typical one for ovens...if ya normally have to move ammo out of the oven to temper knives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmccustomknives Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 ....you have to stop hammerin' cause the trailers fell off the blocks again....local sherrifs have to pay you a visit when scrap thefts are reported....the bed of your pickup has coal, scrap and other unknown articles.....you don't know if the floor of your shop is concrete or dirt as it hasn't been seen in years....neighbors think that yellow green smoke means your cooking meth.I could do this all night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Special Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 You broke in your daily carry pocketknife sticking and slaughtering a pig (yes).Or stopped forging because you had to clean a rabbit (yup, that too.)You've ever had coal or scrap in the back of the truck and your wife put hay/dead chickens/pig slop in with it (also true).You've scrounged used baling wire or from an electric fence to hold a billet together.The guy that works the fryer at the farm auction at night, and lost his arm in a septic tank accident calls you whenever there's an anvil or good scrap up for bid. (and a heck of a nice guy too, he owned the septic business.)You've ever fixed a car part on the anvil...If you've ever bartered blacksmithing equipment for livestock. (let's face it, I've done all of these)Your go to excuse to the wife for not buying something is "I can make that." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Cochran Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Your go to excuse to the wife for not buying something is "I can make that."I've done that a couple times lol. The most recent time wast last Sunday when I saw a crosspien (might've been 20oz) and a couple other small hammers at the flea market.

Frosty Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Welcome aboard Sparky, glad to have you. If you'll put your general location in the header you might be surprised how many of the IFI gang live within visiting distance. You might be a red neck knife maker if. . . Your entire blade smithing set up cost under $75 to scrounge and get working. You keep it locked in the garage and park your $60,000 pickup truck on the street.Frosty The Lucky.
