| Just joined here so I guess its good manners to introduce myself. The name is Olivier, I'm 41yo and I'm a knifemaker from SA and constantly exploring new frontiers and allways experimenting with new gadgets. I make anything from miniatures to monsters and that includes fixed blades, folders, swords, axes, warhammers ................ basically anything that will chop, stab or cut and some other stuff like tobacco pipes and I also make some tooling and machines for my own use. I'm currently experimenting with pistol knives and considering some ideas on ballistic knives and other gadgets. Glad to be here and sincerely hope to actively take part in the discussions.
PS. As soon as I figure out how to post pics here I'll show ya some of my work. | |

| Hello and Glad to have another maker join!!! You knives are great! Nice lines. And please, when you can..more pictures. We have a knife gallery and I'd love to see all the cool things you've made. I'd also suggest getting your own digital camera. I only spent $100 and it does pretty much anything I need. I do understand the pro shots for selling, but it's also nice to have one just to record stuff. Hope you enjoy the forum, we're always looking for ways to make it better. Let us know if you have any suggestions or if you have any questions on pretty much anything. This is a forum where you could pretty much ask ANY question about ANYTHING and one of us will find some kind of answer for ya. | |

| Thnx guys. Happy to be here. Sinza, I have a digital camera but it's only a 2mp and the pics are really crappy. Maybe I'm just too full of shit. | |

| XIPHOIDS | Also known as a Retractable Forearm Dagger, Xiphoid is a class of weapons with a blade that is retractable into a forearm worn wristband/bracer sheath. Designed for swift and quick surprise attacks. It is notable for being evolved from the Katar and the Pata, punching swords with the blade sitting inline with the users fist.. |
Doers and Talkers | There's two kinds of people in this world when you boil it all down.
You've got your 'talkers' and you've got your 'doers'.
Most people are just talkers, all they got is talk. But when all is said and done, it's the doers who change this world. And when they do that, they change us. And thats why we never forget them...
So which one are you? Do you just talk about it or do you stand up and do something about it? Because believe you me, all the rest of it is just bullshit. |
