Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

Started with a rat tail file, quickly realized my file was way too coarse so I switched to a sanding drum on a dremel, then finished by hand with sandpaper wrapped around a piece of rod stock, then buffed with the dremel using a 1/4" felt wheel and some flitz.

Thanks! This is a somewhat common mod for traditionals, especially sheepsfoot blades since they're so "pinchable." Was nervous to cut into a knife like this but it turned out great.

Very nice job

 

I've picked up a couple of knives recently. A Benchmade 808 Loco and a ZT 0350SWCF. The CF is my first Carbon Fiber knife-I wasn't a fan before but am converted now

I have been dealing with DLT Trading and been real happy with their service. Great people to deal with. Anyway, more pictures soon!

 

Broke my work knife. My fault. Used it as a chisel.

 

Yea I got some serious grinding to do. Maybe tomorrow. I'm dog ass tired from 3 days in sun from work to getting garden ready.

 

I never care what time it is. I let my body tell me.

 

so guess I like benchmade

 

I'm looking for another Boker Kwaiken if anyone stumbles across one.

 

Amazon has a few

 

I just bought a boker 20 seconds ago

 

very nice

 

Re shaped the handle on my opinel last night and restained it this morning and did another blade patina

 

Just saw the Opinel at REI today. Interesting knives.

 

Definitley one of my favorites especially at the price of them.

Side note I went to a new high end knife store the other day that just opened up where I got my boker and at the cash register the guy had a shit ton of stuff from that company you did the group buy with. Almost left with a wedgy

 

I can do another one when I get back from the trip across the US. Some small things I need/ want to get again.

 

I love my opinels. I have a no6 no7 and no8. Even gave them out as groomsmans presents at my wedding. Used to carry one every day, but have been carrying one that my father in law gave me for xmas. I think its called a kershaw leek, maybe. I like it alot cause its so slim, but had to nip the end of the blade a bit cause it would bend at the very tip.

 

Ya I stopped buying Kershaws for that very same reason, the last good is the one in my pic above my sig

 

Kershaw has a lifetime warranty..? I guess free repairs is a negative thing.

The Leek is super thin, but it's a light duty slicer not a utility blade.

 

Nice I used to carry this one but the lock mechanism kept slipping and allowed the blade to close. Now it sits in a drawer.
