Rolands Knife
The one Eddie used to carve the key they used to draw Jake into Mid World.
How do you picture it?
I see it as a fillet style with a exotic steel blade, like damascus.
What do you see in your minds eye? What style of blade?
A Modified Tanto? A Sheepsfoot or a spay? Other?
Something very old... simple... and sharp. Maybe with some fainted symbols.
Roland would have understood.
Like This
I always thought it was far broader, heavier, and wider at the side opposite the blade

When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Something like thisOriginally Posted by Jean
no... I see no reason why Roland would carry along such a thing, he wasn't going to whittle, was he? If he has a knife, it must be a weapon, well-balanced and all that. I'll try to find what I mean.

Thanks, that will help me a lot.
maybe like that:
you see, it must be used for throwing, too, so the handle should be heavy, for balance. These are not perfect, either, because I am not crazy about that jagged tip.

You have a big red x, but I followed the link back
Which colored handle?
the reddish brown. Wait a sec, I'll try to upload it to gallery.

Got it now.
Yeah, I could see that
The one on the far right of jeans last post, i pictured it really old and batterd.
If you love me, then love me-Susan of mejis
See the turtle, aint he keen? All things serve the fucking beam-Eddie of NewYork
You burn prettily-Corwin of Amber
i see the blade as something like what jean posted, large and utilitarian. the handle i see as handcarved wood, possibly with symbols of the eld or something significant to roland.
how many miles are in a wheel?
real quick, how many miles are in a wheel (or vice versa)?
Hi Billy! I think this thread would be more appropriate in our dark tower related forums. I'm going to move it there with a redirect.
Thanks,
Hannah

There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
thanks and sorry about that anyway.
Isn't this already in the dark tower related section (Mid-World/Gilead) or am I going mad?
Or was it already moved?
I have no idea but I would love to know the answer to the original question.
And don't worry about putting it in the wrong place Billy, that's what the staff is for.
We may want to make the name something more fitting to the question though, it sounds like something other than it is.

moved. look up about 3 posts from here.Isn't this already in the dark tower related section (Mid-World/Gilead) or am I going mad?
Or was it already moved?
Yes, I've read the whole thread dude.
When I first saw it though, it was already in Gilead, which is why I asked.
Anyway, I don't know how many miles are in a wheel. I don't think it ever says in the Books but I'm sure some Concordance lover might have the answer for you. If it is anywhere, it would be there.
Ah, good suggestion.
From the Robin Furth's Concordance:
In the Waste Lands, Blaine tells us that a distance of 8000 wheels is roughly the equivalent of 7000 mile. In that case there are about 1.143 wheels to a mile. However, in Wizard and Glass, tricky Blaine tells us that 900 mph is the same as 530 wheels per hour. In this instance, one wheel is equal to 1.7 miles. In The Dark Tower, we are told that 120 wheels is roughly equivalent to 100 miles, hence a wheel equals .83 of a mile, but slightly later we are told that twelve wheels is equal to nine or ten miles, hence a wheel is approximately .75 of a mile. Obviously, wheels, like the points of the compass, are in drift.

Cool! I didn't realize that there were that many variations present.
Thanks Matt!
Hey Billy, no worries about putting it in the right place ... we have a bunch of staff here to move stuff and edit stuff and do all kinds of stuff (I'm pretty much saying exactly what Matt said up there).
Anyways, I edited the thread title a little.

He described it when Eddie first started using it to carve the key.
