9.75" Bowie & Coke can
« on: August 13, 2008, 03:54:00 PM »
Well since I sliced some bottles of water last week. Lin said try a empty coke can. So I made up a Bowie/Fighter with a 9.75" blade 14.5 oal. And it worked!    :bigsmyl:    Can ya say FUN?? I can     :bigsmyl:    <><

Never fear rob the jeep is not as close as it looks. I should say this was my second attempt. The first one I hit the top of the can    :scared:    thus is got crunched a little.<><

Wow! You really did good considering you had no practice. Your knife is well made for this cut.

Here I was chopping the remainder of the can. A 10 inch knife is a much overlooked, but awesome tool. Lin
