    Smart way to approach things! I'd rather heavily use something and not worry about "holy ^%$#.......it cost xxxx" if I wear it out or break it. Sure it's nice to have collectibles of any type (and I have a few), but I don't see value in something sitting on a shelf or in a drawer.

    It's all about finding the right balance between wants & needs.

    Every one should have a beater knife in the tool box. Cutting off a radiator hose, opened a box from Jegs, etc.

    Here is mine. Used it to cut down thousands of lemons. Super sharp 440 stainless. Dulls very fast and the blade wobbles. Odd and awkward blade lock button. Made in Japan. Tiny faded letters. Might say "FURY"

    Good Lord. Heavy duty. Thicker than I am used to. 3mm is my max. This one came 4mm. It's a battle axe. Freaky sharp. I stropped it here at the office and it cuts news print without noise. Definitely baton-able if someone wanted to. Fit finish on the knife? Almost perfect. Some tiny grindmark leftovers. The sheath wasn't glued perfectly but should last. Might need a new stitch in the future. It's for my brother. I already sent it off. I wanted to see it before he did. So I spent the shipping extra to me. Then to him. I hope he likes it. Looks like a great multitask wilderness knife.

    I had it made by a dude.

    It's just G10, went after with a Dremel and sculpted, then knocked down my hand with some fine sand paper.

    It's easy to do, wear a respirator. G10 makes some seriously nasty dust you don't want to breathe in.

    That'd make me nervous, though I would think factory scales are pretty reasonable to buy from someone who swapped.

    Go for it! If not, G10 sheets aren't too pricey.

    For sure.

    Wood is cheaper still.

    Use a hardwood.

    I had some Osage orange laying around for a fixed blade but I got tired of whittling it away. Shit is rock hard.

    Do it!

    You can use the factory scales to outline, then it's just a matter of sanding to your preference.

    Post pics as you go. :cool:

    I couldn't get this fucking pressed in lanyard tube out so I put it back together. Maybe another day when I've got more time.

    I'd hope they mean "assisted" and not "automatic" (which would be illegal in CA) :)
