Email Bad MOJO

Although the "Pepper Shaker" looks somewhat similar to the traditional Assault Shaker, it is a much different knife. It is somewhat thinner, with a hollow grind blade as its primary grind, thereby making it a better cutter. It is also completely ground by Jerry, hence the extra cost. The BAT (Busse Armor piercing Tip) makes the tip even stronger than what was on the AS.

Anyway, they are very limited as due to their size, they are a mother to work on. And -once again- Jerry does all the grinds on her making her by far the least expensive Variant you will ever see.

Price is $269....get 'em while they last !

V31 - Mutant Mojo

Many, many of my early knives had a blade-catch/bottle opener feature. . . Many were featured in articles throughout the '80s, including Combat Knives 1989. Here it is again in its original configuration. We couldn't cut the Mojos with this exact shape because the pointed tip of the opener would likely "blow out" with the laser cut. We rounded it for this reason and hadn't considered incorporating the "cap lift" feature on this model. . . But as is typical of this forum, which we value so greatly, the beer hounds started to howl and we thought we'd show you how cool it would look, and how well it would work, with this feature. We may again decide to offer it as an option, but the downtime we would incur due to all of the "testing" of the cap lift feature might prove to be far too great.

Psssssttttt. . .. gug. .. . .gug. . . .gug. .. .It works!!!!!! Many, many of my early knives had a blade-catch/bottle opener feature. . . Many were featured in articles throughout the '80s, including Combat Knives 1989. Here it is again in its original configuration. We couldn't cut the Mojos with this exact shape because the pointed tip of the opener would likely "blow out" with the laser cut. We rounded it for this reason and hadn't considered incorporating the "cap lift" feature on this model. . . But as is typical of this forum, which we value so greatly, the beer hounds started to howl and we thought we'd show you how cool it would look, and how well it would work, with this feature. We may again decide to offer it as an option, but the downtime we would incur due to all of the "testing" of the cap lift feature might prove to be far too great. In regards to the "Nuclear Mutant" being used in the following pictures, there is a sequence of events that you need to be aware of to understand it's origins. First of all, I drew the modification onto the blade-catch of a perfectly good Mr. Mojo. I quickly ground it and then tested it on a bottle of Molson XXX. . . . . . and then another couple. . . and then another 12. . . . and, well, you get the picture. The next thing I know, "I'm good lookin', rich, and tough" as a friend of mine would say and I come to the inebriated conclusion that since the blade-catch has been modified. . . perhaps in my "enlightened state" a special "Variant" is beckoning to be born. . . . I sit down at the grinder, which seemed to be moving very, very slowly. The next thing I know, I'm caught in the middle of a meteor storm. There were sparks, pieces of belt, metal shavings, and chunks of rubber contact wheel, flying everywhere. . . . But, I'm not playing around, I know where I'm going, and I'm not wasting anytime getting there. . . I see the pattern that I'm after in my mind's eye and I am on my way! . . . . Confusingly, I suddenly notice that Mr. Mojo does not appear to be following along.. . .He has decided to go to an entirely different place. . .. a place I like to call the "Toilet Zone" This perfectly good Mojo is on the highway to hell and he's screamin' "There's no stoppin' me now Jerry!". I have a Seinfeldian flashback and then realize that he's talkin' to me! I lay into the grinder with everything I have, trying to bring him back from the edge of total destruction, while at the same time screaming back at him, "Don't go towards the lite!" He does anyway (because it actually is less filling) . . . .It's too late. . . he's gone! He's toast .. . . It is a Mr. Mojo Roast and I am the Master of Ceremonies.

Services will be held later in the week. Sadly, I had forgotten to take pictures of the "Cap Lift" feature while he was still Mr. Mojo. So, I end up having to take pictures of his inbred cousin, Mr. Bozo. Had I tested this cap lift feature on a bottle of anything but beer after beer I wouldn't be having to explain the birth of this incredibly deformed blade. Let this be a lesson to all of you. The next time you read a warning label that says, "The consumption of alcoholic beverages impairs your ability to operate machinery" . . . . . .Believe it!

***Now of course the above drunken scenario is a completely fictionalized sequence of events. If you were to actually try grinding while even slightly inebriated . . .your new nick-name would be "Stumpy Fingers". . . However, the part about Mr. Mojo and I screaming at each other. . .That my friends, is fact!

V34 - Look what just flew in! A Flying Badger????

Take a Badger, give it a deep dish hollow grind along the clip, flat grind the primary bevel, convex the tip with a BAT point, fly in some serrations, apply a pair of custom laminated camo micarta handles, give it a textured finish for stealth purposes, tighten your seat belt and hold onto your socks. . . . The Flying Badger is ready for take off!!!!!

Nuke on!

V42 - Recurved Satin Jack Variant

They always say, "Never say never". . . well, I will this, I have no plans to make another one of these. This is one of those blades that I made while experiencing "grinder's high". . .sorta like "runner's high" only much dustier and more toxic.

It is a Satin Jack with a flat primary grind, deep dish hollow along the clip, with serrations, blended and reinforced BAT. Snake Skin Micarta handles, flying handle spine, and satin finished with a zero edge!

YOWZA!!!!!

Thanks,
Jerry

V43 - Steel Heart Variant

I love this knife! The super strong flat primary grind coupled with a deep dish secondary grind that you could drink out of make this blade scream! The flying handle and an internally polished talon hole are just this knife's way of showing that the dancing shoes are lit and she's ready for take-off at anytime.
