I believe you to are talkin about the wrong type of spike...if not I think there might be some type of jail talk forum you can work with it on:ropeman:

for knot tying and untying of course.

i just want it to be custom made damascus for the sake of supporting our local craftsmen.

When it's done could you post it?

I've been using the same marlinespike for years and some day I know I'll want to replace it.

Here is my old reliable;

I've always found the handle gives me leverage and control, so when I replace it I'll need a good handle on the new one.

[desmodus]

will definitely be posting pictures.

[deker]

will definitely be posting pictures.

I know we had discussed some "in-progress" photos. Do you want me to just post a thread as I work on this project?

What Ron is forgetting here is that this was all part of my master plan to get him to shut up about seeing the Ben & Jerry's factory and the Vermont Teddy Bear factory...I had to trick him to do it, but hey...it worked... :thefinger

[Peter Lezard]

I have no idea what we are talking about anymore...I have three marlin spikes, a Victorinox, a Dutch marines knife, and one made in England....Knots quail at the sound of my name....:jdevil:

Now who was snoring, and who was passing gas??? :fart:

From what I can tell, that happens to any thread Ron posts in.... :bwah:

And to think, 2 days ago I'd never even heard of a marlin spike...apparently they're more common than I ever imagined. Am I the only one who hasn't tied a lot of knots and done a lot of rigging?

[CraftGeek]

I used to only use mine on 3 strand rope. Weaving the ends back in to form loops and such. Now I use it mainly when making lanyards and dog leashes. Weaving the ends back in to hide them when the piece is done.

[CraftGeek]

Hey Des,

Did this ever get made?

Got pics?

[L R Harner]

heheh in know what it looks like and i also know about how far along it it

its a sort twisted twist pattern and it has a hole in one end :devilfinger:

[deker]

We're getting there...I had some unexpected "setbacks" in life that caused me to lose about a month of shop time...but we're getting better! This is first to get finished and off the bench, I'm just to detail work now.

[fod]

Interesting....I had Delbert Ealy make these up earlier this year for me (the top one is from metorite damascus, which I gave to my son, the bottom one I cord wrapped the loop and use on a very regular basis, both with the Boy Scouts and around the house) Very handy, very cool, and Del is great to work with.
