Done on BBQ to sear it. Next, oven at 220 for about 3 hours.Interesting cooking method there. I like that.
someone actually just sold one of the half face folders over in the exchange this morning for a small 150 dollar markup.Happened to me already. Go ahead, buy some other stuff... Half Face won’t leave your thoughts though. You will still want. Try eBay, more and more stuff is there. Prices are mostly acceptable.
Welcome aboard. Your spot on about the watches. Separating my wants and needs has always been a challenge.Could use some advice regarding my first HFB
Forgive my ignorance in such matters but I’m new to the blade world and thought I’d start off right
Just picked up a crow jr in kydex, but I’d like to go with a leather sheath
Long story short I inherited a few items when my dad’s father passed away 10+ years ago, one being a blade he received from a friend who hand made it and gave it to him after rotating home post Korean War as a thank you for dragging his shot up behind back to safety and a watch he purchased sometime in Vietnam when he was a pilot
I’ve worn the 4” fixed made from an old railroad spike for years on my belt drop leg in the 4 o’clock position, was wondering where or who could I get a sheath from to fit this crow jr and have it sit where I’m use to
I saw hfb sells a sheath but it rides a bit high for my edc taste although I will prob snag one anyway as I like to wear scout style when I am in the bush and hunt
Off topic a bit
Also just want to say fuck you very much to all the guys posting pics of their sick blades and resco timepieces, like I need another addiction to feed, muscle cars, drag cars, jeeps, harleys, accuracy internationals, hi powers, and wilson 45s aren’t enough, gotta throw in one more lmao
I just wore grandpas handed down pepsi gmt for the first time in many years this Christmas, it was a show stopper but I felt like I had to helicopter mom the thing full time so it didn’t get touched, hate that feeling, I hear my old man saying “this is why we can’t have nice things Jonathan”
So maybe I’ll have to look into getting a combat timepiece also, something I can use and not worry...as much, one fucking look on resco’s site and the girl already got her eye zero’d in on a sea pearl so I’m fucked either way, any suggestions on what resco will wear hard and feel inconspicuous on the wrist
You NEED a good knife, 6 are better. Come on man.Half face blades makes that whole want vs need debate pretty much a loser for the needs side.
Thanks for the info on Winkler, nice looking gear.I’m mean there 3 asshats selling the HFB hot sauce for 100 bucks each... bought a winkler hunters axe due to the frustration over the last drop..
Winkler makes some bad ass hard use tools.. HFB makes bad ass hard use tools that’s also artwork that’s the way I look at it..I am looking at Winklers, too. About to just sell me HFB and collect those. F the person selling $100 hot sauce.
Nice first post. Welcome to the Hide.Hello everyone, new to the forum but a big HFB fan. Scored on tonight’s drop. View attachment 7534895
Hello everyone, new to the forum but a big HFB fan. Scored on tonight’s drop.
Instead of raising prices to stabilize demand, they could increase production, keep quality constant, or improved, and keep prices stable. This is the path I would like to see. With more blades available, the secondary market will stabilize as well, theoretically anyway.Pretty much gave up even looking until I can order a custom. I hope them the best and hope they decide to raise prices to meet the market rate. It would be nice to see HFB get paid instead of the asshats buying just to resell knives.
Or they could put in antibot/script steps.. it’s not that hard to do and would solve a lot of problems. Their blades are nice, but they aren’t nice enough for what’s going on. Plenty of other custom makers and nice knives. Glad I got in on the custom hawk or I’d have written them off. Hype to a certain degree is good, but at some point it’s detrimental.Instead of raising prices to stabilize demand, they could increase production, keep quality constant, or improved, and keep prices stable.

Yes. If what has been suggested is true, that the HFB web ordering portal gets hit by bots every Friday at 4 PST, then the playing field should be leveled, IMO. Anti-bot scripts. Good. Or, just do the drops at random times?Or they could put in antibot/script steps.. it’s not that hard to do and would solve a lot of problems.

Those are nice looking and the 4” blade...sweet, handle treatment looks durable, totally beautiful. Worth it.
Don't worry about the angle so much as the type of sharpening stone. Assuming this knife is S35VN like most of the current output, you will need a diamond or CBN stone. SiC, aluminum oxide, or natural stones won't sharpen a "super steel" like S35VN.I know everyone is all worked up over what great knives these are and they are certainly good looking. I even own a couple of them. My buddy used his Crow Jr. to dress out one deer and somehow the blade rolled or something and now it won't cut for shit. I don't know about you, but this does not seem like a working knife to me. Tried to sharpen for him on my Wicked edge sharpener and having a hell of a time. Anyone know the factory bevel on these? He was a huge fan of these knives till this happened and know he just told me to keep it and practice my sharpening skills on it. He is hugely dissapointed in this knife.
Send it back to the factory for them to check out. This should not happen. But things 'slip through' on handmade knives. And Andy would want to know about it. Seriously. If something is not right, he will make it right!I know everyone is all worked up over what great knives these are and they are certainly good looking. I even own a couple of them.

I inquired last week about having a blade commissioned with ram’s horn supplied by me, I’m tired and frustrated of missing them on drops, they are not accepting any new builds until June at the earliest.
One hour after the 4 pm PST drop and there are four no five different cool Disaster Jr.s still available! I'm still watching the site for some items on my shopping list, which is classified.If anyone is looking for a first knife there is a drop tonight with a lot of production blades. Still a whole lot of crow juniors up for grabs.
crazy today theres still some available. wonder if this is a product of them trying to remove the bots from purchasing. Ill say yesterdays drop was weird. My browser wouldnt show all knives available. sometimes when I refreshed the page there was 4 blades sometimes 10. Was definitely weird.I'm not really interested in camo cerakote on blades. Seems like maybe a popular sentiment seeing as how it's always these that are left un-purchased. Always wondered why more acid-etched aren't produced
That's one of the guys from a FB page making fun of the insanity... It's not a serious auction;-)JFC, people are fucking insane...Link at bottom for your viewing pleasure.

They started by dropping about 400 blades, four styles. When there was just one 'style' left (about 50 of them), they dropped about 6 more styles of production blades. I think there between 500 and 800 blades dropped last night. All nice simple production knives.crazy today theres still some available. wonder if this is a product of them trying to remove the bots from purchasing. Ill say yesterdays drop was weird.

Was hoping for an acid etched disaster breacher with their ironwood. but all I could see last night was a couple carbon fiber customs and a bunch of camo blades. oh well bought ammo instead.
You can subscribe. It's cheap! Three bottles a quarter. I got the hard-to-find truffle sauce by trading it for a bottle of local BBQ sauce brew. A great time was had by all.I got some of the hot sauce. From half face its 30 bucks a bottle after shipping. its worth it. thats all im gonna say.
