The miniature (20cm high) version of “Dagu” the Sumatran Orangutan. This photo shows the hollow wax cast of my original, about to be remoulded in it’s investment mould, with it’s wax runners and risers attached and pins in place, to hold the inner core in place. Once the investment mould is finished, it will be gently heated, to slowly dry it out, then melt away the wax (hence the term, “Lost wax casting”) leaving a void in the shape of the wax Orangutan which can then be filled with molten bronze. The same basic bronze casting technique that the Egyptians were using over 5000 years ago! 😊 #bronzesculpture #bronzecasting #orangutansculpture #orangutan #wildlifeart #SOCP #nickbibby #sculpture #sculptor

Picked up a Benchmade 176 SOCP and a trainer. I wanted a simple option for my support hand side that would be easy to draw/use and the Benchmade seems to be perfect. The knife fits nicely in my hand and the point is very sharp. Only about 1/3 of the knife is sharpened behind the tip and isn’t what I’d call razor sharp. This is fine because it isn’t designed for utility use or even slashing and feels like it will excel in its intended use (poke poke poke). The finger hole is large enough to easily be used with Mechanic gloves on and probably the only fault the knife has is the edges on the hole would be more comfortable bare handed if there was a slight bevel (I may mod it). The sheath has really good retention and I really like how it fits into Molle webbing making it easy to carry on a plate carrier, belt etc... I took a chance ordering the knife and the trainer separate because I wanted 2 sheaths. The trainer on Amazon has it pictured with a sheath but I found conflicting info stating it didn’t come with one. I was very happy when it arrived and it had one so now I can leave one permanently mounted on my belt. Overall I’m very happy with this knife and at this time have no problem recommending it for its intended use. In the near future (next time I feel like making pulled pork) I’ll probably do some stab tests and I’ll post the results.

"WHO DECIDED IT'S PRONOUNCED MEEM?" It's clearly a question worth asking if she's spent the actual brain power to think on the subject. Meem. Meeeeem. "It's spelled like two me's though, so shouldn't it be me-me? Or maymay? What do you think?" / @socp!

Special forces hand-to-hand combat is built on a completely different philosophy than any martial art you've trained in — or seen on YouTube. These 10 techniques come from declassified U.S. Army doctrine, British SAS close-combat training, and Russian Spetsnaz operational curricula. They have never been publicly demonstrated. Many cannot be safely trained to full application. And several exist in a legal gray zone that makes them unsuitable for civilian instruction.

I feel like a stupid little idealistic, out of touch girl whos stuck in a fantasy when i say these things. But at the same time i know its real. And i need to accept it if i want to move forward somehow.
