Knife smithing is lots of fun and you really dont need to invest alot to get started.

You can also do "stock removal" knife making if you dont have all the things necessary for a real forge. Just get yourself some barstock steel or old leaf springs from automobiles at a trash yard, and grind or cut away the basic knife blade shape eith either an angle grinder or bench saw. You can temper the steel afterhards to get the hardness you want.

That's the spendy way of doing it, as I said above files are all you need to get started and teaches you a skill that will get more important as you gear up.

There is a reason why File's an Filing where the first tool you'd learn to use as an apprentice before they let you anywhere near a machine tool.

Edit to add:

Also I don't like recommending scrapped springs to people who are really new to smithing or knife making, to reduce the variables it's easer just to grab a flat bar of O1 off ebay an start there, also modern springs from cars made in the last 10 or so years tend not to be as good for new smiths, they changed the composition of the alloy makes it harder to work with - at least in my experience.

If you’re wondering who Alicia Rohde is, she’s just someone Josh saw in school and developed a serious obsession over that never really ended. He was rejected pretty goddamn hard, it was a painful experience, which is why he copes and does those “All those girls who rejected me? This is why they’re dumb” rants.

Don't contact Alicia she gets really fuckin’ pissy about the Josh thing. Don’t even know if it’s possible I think she’s wiped a lot of social media.

Ok, bros. I'm a little worried. What did mean when he menacingly said under his breath "none of my female classmates are going to die for a long time"?

He's gonna use his magical powers to become a lich and then he'll create a necromancer harem of his former female classmates.
Slightly unethical but we'll get Cobra content for eternity.

I've come to view her as Cobes version of CWC's Galpals and Megan - she might have started as "Friendly" i.e. not openly hostile towards Josh and she ended up hating him because he wouldnt leave her alone.

Basically it. Alicia is Megan, except our Megan is actually really quite hot.

If Josh knew how to print out pictures, these would be covered in an inch of cobra venom. My man really thought he had a chance with the hot chick in high school. He’s always been delusional.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

He's not hungry right now so he's saving his oven baked bogrito for breakfast and he's sure it will be delicious.

His teeth are probably fucking him up right now and he doesn't want to face the pain. Imagine we are going to see him skipping meals a lot more often.

Alicia is actually pretty hot, though that full length body suit reminds me of day shift strippers hiding their guts and C-section scars. I feel like you couldn't 'nicely' let Josh down without him either completely blowing off the rejection and continuing or getting hurt and bitter as fuck over it.

As for the Dusta Rhymes Saga, I know it's optimistic but if Clint ever wanted to get involved this is the time. Cobes may be a lazy piece of shit who wouldn't go out and buy duster but he def has people sending it to him. It wouldn't surprise me if the shithead were researching which ones are the worse either -- and sending him those. Boy is going to start getting bear mace size jugs of duster to collapse those premie lungs of his and fry his few remaining brain cells

 

[A-Stump]

imo the duster stuff is getting blown way out of proportion. yes, it's dangerous, if you actually do a deep inhale of a long blast. but cobes is regarded. he's going to do it wrong. no filter, short hits, no real inhalation. yes, someone sent him directions, but giving cobes directions on how to do something properly sounds like a surefire way for him to fuck up doing it properly.

he's doing little baby huffs, spraying a little bitterant on his tongue to freak out the "troles" (conscious reason) and get attention from daddy (subconscious reason).

Except cobes is also a blackout drunk and not really a normal person in any regard. Literally choking out your own lungs while on a depressant is pretty bad to begin with but it can also cause you to rapidly lose consciousness and vomit. All it takes is one little session of spewing chunks on your back to take a long dirt nap.

Very much so, you don't even need to be a smith to start making knife's - look up Wayne Goddards book "The $50 Knife shop" there are .pdf's floating around and that will get you making knives even if you don't follow his instructions step by step all's you need are a Vice, Files, Sandpaper, hammer and some way of heating / annealing steel (can be as simple as a blow torch in a can lined with clay an cat litter) and something to hold some oil and your away.

In the DIY thread I posted a good start smithing guide by the Sustainable Technology Foundation and that's a really good start.

You can also send it out to be heat treated - a lot of the top professional knifemakers don't do it themselves.

 

[Atomic Tampon Cat]

A friend of mine was addicted to duster. He said one day while dusting and watching planet earth everything got silent and blacked out. As he was coming back to he didn't hear the voice of god but gotdam david fucking attenborough's voice was giving him an intervention and telling him he's going to die if he kept the shit up. He hasn't touched it since. I hope Ozzy Ozborne materializes before Cobes and gives him an intervention during his hallucinations before it's too late.


I'm not making light of this but I don't know how to cope with Cobras new addiction and I can't afford therapy.

 

[The Blue Morpho]

Cobes is genuinely entertaining. He is very likable despite his retardation; it's so nice to have someone who is hilariously delusional and silly but not a horrible person (e.g. Chris Chan).

He can be a little shit, but most of the time his bad behavior only really impacts himself or his close family. Especially now as he's basically fully isolated from anyone who isn't within walking distance of his apartment.

I did get real salty at the Boglim during his birthday Olive Garden fiasco with homedad Clint because his bratty drunken toddler mentality was on full display. Now that seems so quaint given the recent arrest and the inevitable "Sudden Sniffing Death Syndrome" waiting for him at the bottom of that bottle of computer duster.

I can't think of anything he's made from scratch but his cooking has enough steps and ingredients that he might as well.

He's made stuff from scratch. The steak he made with Darflinny comes to mind. Its actually almost more upsetting than his usual bogslop because he will take a decent piece of meat, boil it in Rolling Rock and butter and then stab it with a fork until all the juices leak out. He takes something with potential and reduces it down to the level of his usual garbage heap diet.

I know it's optimistic but if Clint ever wanted to get involved this is the time.

To any aspiring trolls out there, I’ll give you the secret to the clintervention. It only happens when Clint is significantly, negatively impacted.

If you want Clint to get involved, make his life a living hell and he’ll do something about it. Pretty fuckin’ sad, that.

It's something you should learn, it's not as hard as you think - especially if you have access to an electrical oven. I do mine the old fashioned way by getting a iron hot and then watching the colours draw through on the peace I am working when placed on it.

For a second I wondered why the progress bar was hanging off his nips.

How dare she not suck the dark lord's cock and receive a throat infection?!

Whispering "none of my female classmates are gonna die for a long time". Did Alicia Roadie start huffing duster too?

What the fuck is wrong with this boy

I've said it before, but I usually assume anything he says like this that's very weird and specific is a direct response to one of the dozens of troll messages he receives per day. Its the same people just trying out different attack vectors day after day and seeing what sticks in the boglim's craw.

This particular demon whisper is one for the books though lol
