Oto, I saw you shortened the tendons of your footpockets. Why did you do it and what did you find out?
Question to Oto footpockets shortened tendons
-
-
Pargo what knife is that, they for sale?
-
Berry goo queschon...:D
-
That's a Riffe stubby. You'd have to ask Oto if he's still selling it. Not a bad little knife.
-
Black1, I have the same knife brand new never been wet. Let me know if you want it
-
the knife is sold, I had posted it on SB. pretty cool knife but I have 2 others and this one is just not getting used. sounds like Frank has one, not that he was cockblocking or anything like that :laughing3:
the foot pockets, first I cut off the very tip of the pockets (that weak part that's not very hard) because it annoyed me and also carbontek recommended it for their blades.
then I have the complaint about these new OMER pockets having too stiff tendons, so i cut off another inch or so to see if I felt the diff and really didn't. I figure I'd sell them cheap and not cut them again, otherwise noone will want them.
-
I knew you sold it already....:rolleyes1:
-
wouldn't cutting them make them stiffer? i dont think it really makes a difference:confused1:

That's the whole point, Oto likey the stiff...:0

Shortening the tendons will make the fin softer. Tendons add stiffness to the blade. This is necessary but can be overdone when footpockets have tendons that are too stiff.

I guess you're never going to forgive me for cheating on you.
Frank, just f'ing with you bro!
like dan said, the fin would be softer since more of the blade would flex more freely. but these add too much stiffness to the blades, so I'm getting some softer pockets.
I'm getting old, and with skinny legs, I don't likey the stiffy anymore, contrary to popular belief :nono:
-
Thanks!
-
Oto, you need to stop overreacting so much...:D
-
I thought this was well on the way to becoming the quarterly :cherna: repressed feelings purge thread..
So now then Oto, which footpockets do you think have the necessary non stiffness that you so much desire?
And why don't you just trust me, come on over jump in the pool and try a pair footpockets with average stiffness tendons and a soft carbon blade? No strings attached

-
