Going back to 2004 for this one... the “original” Baconmaker started life as the Johnson/Warren fighter as my good friend and I designed it and one other we called “The Digger” a non metallic tool, over a fairly productive weekend considering the drinking. The good old days.... #johnsonadventureblades #baconmaker #pals #kabarkrew #madeinnebraska (at Johnson Adventure Blades HQ)

Drinking done right 🇺🇸🥃👍 @Regrann from @johnsonadventureblades - Just when you think a Friday can't get much better....you get a package from @tackstactical just in time to make the trip to Walt's house to grind knives. Hard win. #johnsonadventureblades #ardbeg #tackstactical #knifelife (at Tacks Tactical)

Haven't posted a knife pic in a while. One of the first Giles Bowies made from old buzz saw blades... great little knives. #johnsonadventureblades #madeinnebraska #oldstuff (at Johnson Adventure Blades HQ)

Well...they melted. The lost foam green sand casting experiment was a solid fail, but I got a plenty large piece of brass to forge the guard. So the guard will be 338 RCM cartridge brass from Hornady. #johnsonadventureblades #madeinnebraska #kabarkrew (at Johnson Adventure Blades HQ)

Google says it should get runny around 1750F....mug is fine at 2000F plus... soon we will know. Haha. Doing a little improvised green sand casting for a very special build... #johnsonadventureblades #madeinnebraska #repurposed (at Johnson Adventure Blades HQ)

Cool shot of the Wharnstalker from @kabarknives Technically it's still #wharnstalkerwednesday well, in a couple time zones anyway... happy hump day. #johnsonadventureblades #kabarkrew

I'm stoked about this handle experiment... krynite sandwiched between a couple slabs of oak. Because why not? ;-) more to follow.... #johnsonadventureblades #kabarkrew #gilesbowie #madeinnebraska #handmade (at Johnson Adventure Blades HQ)

Driving & day dreaming about burnin' some coal... #johnsonadventureblades #madeinnebraska #coal #coalforge #blacksmithing #rrspikeknife (at Nebraska)

Big thanks to @skableatherworks & gang for letting me hang out and burn coal tonight. In the process, I was able to help an old railroad spike... it now identifies as a knife; it's much happier. #johnsonadventureblades #kabarkrew #knife #blacksmithing #rrspikeknife #madeinnebraska (at Buffalo County Historical Society/Trails & Rails Museum)

Please let me know what you guys think of the blade finish and overall style. "Cool" or "sucks" is plenty, just looking for input. I left the buzz saw blade character alone on the flats. Handle is plain oak with an old school acid/fire/linseed finish. Will make a great user. #johnsonadventureblades #madeinnebraska #upcycled #handmade #kabarkrew #knife #knivesofig (at Johnson Adventure Blades HQ)

These two are going to be hanging out a lot down the road...I know a lot of you guys are into bushcraft and other awesome stuff in general, if you happen to be into traditional archery and like projects, you NEED to check out @ringingrocksarchery I got one of their 64" "you finish" longbows in the mail when I got home about 2 hours ago...and damn!! I shot a couple dozen arrows & started sanding, a little Ye Aquafortis, torch and some raw linseed oil... I'm stoked. Oh, and prices are VERY reasonable. More to follow.... (ps: that's not a paid advertisement either, I don't know these folks from Adam, but I like their stuff) #johnsonadventureblades #turkeyseason2017 #archery #longbow #ringingrockarchery (at Johnson Adventure Blades HQ)

The wood got me a little inspired....and I was playing with some heat treat on AEB-L, so I ground one. This shit is awesome. @njsteelbaron makes some bloody nice steel... #johnsonadventureblades #madeinnebraska #knife (at Johnson Adventure Blades HQ)
