TheoRockNazz Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Howdy guys, Looks like Coop has worked his magic again, and got me a full page on the first page of Messer's spread on the NYCKS show! Only thing is, I have no idea what it says haha, anyone able to lend a hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Congrats. I have no idea what the text says either, but its good to be noticed. Wait a little longer for a German reading member to assist... I am not even going to attempt to translate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Awesome Theo! Might take a bit but try typing it into a German to English translator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 That is wicked cool Theo about time they noticed. Scrambler the text is in German I assume it's a German publication or someone has a strange sense of humor. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormcrow Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Congratulations! At the bottom of the page it says "Messer Magazine". Can it be assumed that this is the German edition of Blade Magazine and that the English version is available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPH Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Ok I speak and read a good bit of Old German..bneing I was raised around a whole lot of Amish The intro says..more or less: " The New York Custom Knife show is always worth the trip. Here are the Highlights"... I can not read the text... JPH How did you get that Coop guy to answer you to take pics..I have been trying for years to get him to take a photo of a coupe of my pieces and I never get an answer...

ThomasPowers Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Rustic Fighter by Theodor Nazz The blade is made of handforged W2 (well forged by yourself) W2 Steel The grip is made from burl (the pattern for the bronze fitting/component was made with a 3-D printer) This is more inferred as I'm having trouble seeing the exact words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anachronist58 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Pretty good, JPH - I had to get help to present this: Big Apple New York is always worth a visit. Especially when at the same time, the New York Custom Knife Show takes place. And Thomas, your rendition looks good. I have found that my reading of German is terrible, the word arrangement so different from English. as I look back, My friends must have found my speech to be quite amusing. Congratulations, Theo!

ThomasPowers Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I took two languages in High School: Spanish and German and have used *both* in my working life: currently supporting a factory in Mexico; previous job was working on a project in Chile, spent 89 days in Germany doing an installation for a previous employer; etc. Tell your kids to learn another language, or two!

Anachronist58 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Yes, really good for the brain, and TWO languages opens up a window into where English comes from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPH Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Like I said..I was raised around the Amish..in fact my mentor..Herr Hauffmann was where I picked alot of it up but the Amish speak a whole Gamut of various German dialects as do the Mennonites as well...but the latter tend to be a bit more "modern" than the former language wise. They call it "Pennsylvania German" or Hinterwaldler Deutsch...I can still hold my own in a conversation but it does get interesting at times..... My Greek and Kurdish are much better than my German or Vietnamese...but what the heck.. Thomas...your eyes are better than mine and I had my glasses on!!

Anachronist58 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) Backwoods German? I am definitely the Unlearned in this conversation, but I recall, while living in Hesse, I visited a commune in Beyern. Their colloquial was far easier to follow than that of up North. Amazing what effect a few hundred clicks can have on dialects. Great looking blade Theo!

ThomasPowers Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Used to be different "countries" until fairly recently! (well more than 100 years; but that's recent as far as I am concerned; geology and medieval history buff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheoRockNazz Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 All of the above is why I love this site Someone on reddit was nice enough to translate for me: Left: New York is always worth a trip. Especially when the New York Custom Knife Show takes place. Here are some of the highlights. Big Apple is a old nickname for New York but when the Custom Knife Show takes place the city appears like the red apple from snowwhite to knifefans ( a really cheesy comparison), hardly to resist. Every year the best knifemakers of the US, Canada and the rest of the world meet up to present there new products to community. Every year there are a lot of highlights which we doesnt want to keep away from our readers. The NYCKS 2016 takes place in november. More information under : fiftyfiftyproductions.net The text about you: Rustic fighter from Theodore Nazz: The blade is made of self forged W2-steel, the handle out of maserknolle( Burl?). The model for the bronze coating is made in a 3D-printer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
