Knot Work...

well its been ages since i last updated this blog... honestly i really haven't bee doing much except going to work, eating, sleeping and repeat. been catching some movies here and there but nothing really ground breaking. But that is not what this entry is about, no sir. Today i made a couple of knots that i thought i would share with the world (or rather the 2 ppl that might stumble across my blog every now and again :P).

2Bight Turk's Head Knot






recently Stormdrane posted a video showing how to do a 2Bight Turk's Head Knot which i thought looked great. so after putting off getting some stuff for a while i ended up ordering a couple Jumbo Perma-Lok needles and another Hemostat. when they arrived this past week i click on his tutorial and got down to it :D


Ocean Plait Mat





On this last Friday after i got off from work, i had to pick up a couple of items at the store and a hank of 100Ft 1/4"in rope caught my eye as i walked through the aisles and out of the blue decided to pick it up too. i brought it hope and made my self an Ocean Plait Mat from page 274 in the book "Knots" by Gordon Perry. Here is the result.

Lets Get it on!

Well its Thursday so the battle videos are in .. it was all just in good fun, but i should have probably practiced more instead of trying out my routine the day before the due date, damn im lazy :P

C3rb3rus - FreeStyle Battle from C3rb3rus on Vimeo.

Battle??

Well this weekend i was on stickam with several people from Decknique. there seemed to be alot of talk about battle videos from people on the board. Most are jokes or silly trash talk for the sake of getting a laugh. well i said to one of the guys on Stickam (Matt Hartz) if he wanted to battle, and to my suprise he said yes.. i was suprised because to my knowledge he hasnt made any videos... so we decided that it would be a 1 minute long, uncut, freestyle video, that's not including the intros and credits... the music will be up to the choice of each of us and at the beginning of the video we will show the Ace of Clubs (in honor of Dia Vernon) to show that the video was made for this battle specifically... We agreed that the videos would be due on Thursday, so stay tuned for an update on the battle.

So I made this video for a contest over on Theory11 .. kinda slapped it together last minute because i found out about the contest like an hour and a half before the deadline.. The prize was 6 first edition Smoke and Mirrors Decks... unfortunately (for me) i didnt win, but i did get an Honorable Mention in the video where they announced the winner HERE ... better luck next time i guess.. Enjoy :)

More Knives

I know I know... i havent updated in months, what can i say .. im lazy :P ... so yeah, since i last wrote a blog on here i have been buying up more knives and adding them to my small but ever growing collection of knives. In the future i hope to add more knives in the 50+ Dollar range and in time maybe even a couple Customs.. but for the moment its going to be small production knives which i WILL use on a daily basis. I just dont see a point in spending 70 bucks on a knife that your not going to use and only put it in a drawer (or binder in my case) to collect dust... So, yeah most of the knives that i buy i plan on using depending on the occation or location that i may be in.. I took a couple of pics of my recent collection out of boredom and decided to post them up.... so here you have em.
