Members Dwight Posted September 29, 2017 Members Report Posted September 29, 2017 Had a friend years ago, . . . liked to carry a roll of dimes in his pocket, . . . In case he had to make a lot of local calls of course. They're TSA proof. May God bless, Dwight Quote

Members Grey Drakkon Posted October 1, 2017 Members Report Posted October 1, 2017 That's one super fancy piece! Not too far that it looks weird though, it goes really well together. Quote
Members Fire88 Posted October 2, 2017 Members Report Posted October 2, 2017 I like em! Nicely done Quote
Members Stetson912 Posted October 2, 2017 Members Report Posted October 2, 2017 Are they hardened at all? Quote
Members Sanch Posted October 2, 2017 Members Report Posted October 2, 2017 If I were to make something like that I would take pieces of dowel and put them in the finger holes and then dip it in boiling wax to harden it On 10/2/2017 at 1:48 AM, Stetson912 said: Are they hardened at all? Expand Quote

Expand The black ones are very very hard, the brown ones not so much. I'm not sure exactly why that is though. Remember ima FNG so things like hardening? First I've heard of it Quote
Members Constabulary Posted October 2, 2017 Members Report Posted October 2, 2017 put a bottle opener on one end them its no longer "weapon" Quote
Members Stetson912 Posted October 2, 2017 Members Report Posted October 2, 2017 Lol, some dyes do that. And if it was wet moulded it could do that too. And like sanch said, it would really hardened up dipped in hot/boiling water/wax. Cuir bouilli is a term meaning boiled leather, it was a process used for making armor harder. I think that would really make them effective lol. Quote
