I may have to make my own machete out of LC200N if I can find the right hunk of metal

Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!
I had a funny thought about making a cork handle so it floats. Could be a good salt water fixed fish knife.

Re: Boating and lanyards
I’ve donated thousands of dollars of gear to the sea gods, haha. I started using these years ago and they have worked perfectly and saved both my knife and my phone (in a waterproof case) multiple times. https://i.imgur.com/S5Dy8FS.jpg Lanyards are fine for “boating” IMO but when landing a big fish...

Re: Boating and lanyards
Here’s an Amazon link to the floats I use if anyone’s interested. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09733N1KR?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I had the idea of using silicone tubing which I have not tested yet because the tubing can have more than one purpose and that is similar to what you h...

Maybe it can be a way for micro brands to do heat treat on demand

Re: Boating and lanyards
This hits home to me since I lost a Spyderco Civilian while kayaking. I may need to make a cork handle and sheath for a Spyderco Mule. A nice comfy fat cork handle on a Mule may be the bees knees. The ceramic mule is only 2.5 OZ so it should float just with a nice cork handle.

Re: Boating and lanyards
I may need to get the LC200N Catcherman as well and put a three cork lanyard on it so it is impervious to rust and sinking.

Re: Boating and lanyards
Real corks won’t take on that much water and the glued together corks have less air. I only tested real corks and champagne corks. Champagne corks I tested were half whole cork and half glued bits of cork. I would just run a paracord sheath through a champagne cork or two as needed.

Re: Boating and lanyards
Ok, 5 corks kept my endura from sinking as did 4 champagne corks for you fancy types. Also fun fact, so did one regular size pharmacy empty medicine bottle. So, roughly one cork per ounce of knife. So a Para 3 lightweight needs 3 corks, dragonfly, 2 corks, and the ladybug needs only 1 cork. So, it’s...

Re: Boating and lanyards
The buoyant force on an object equals the weight of the fluid it displaces. In equation form, Archimedes’ principle is F B = w fl , where F B is the buoyant force and w fl is the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. https://pressbooks.online.ucf.edu/phy2048tjb/chapter/14-4-archimedes-princip...

Re: Boating and lanyards
Real cork must be at least 50% air by my guess. ****! Now I need to find some corks to defend my honor. How many corks needed to float every knife model list is needed.

Re: Boating and lanyards
You could make a lanyard out of silicone tubing to get your knife to float and even add a cork to it. Use a brightly colored silicone color and use a reliable method to trap the air inside the tube. The silicone tubing can be used for all kinds of McGyver tasks while backpacking in a pinch like maki...

Wine corks and paracord are your friends. Use real one piece corks.

Re: Yojumbo M4
I made the scales “Skinny” and added more room for my finger on the lock access. I also added a forward school that eliminates the nub when closed but the nub does not really bother me like it does on the Shaman. It’s a dream of a knife now. I swapped the blades so the M4 is on the carbon fiber now ...
