Ahhh yeaaaa!

That is one aggressive-looking farming implement.

Just so y'all know, I do everything by hand... All under the same roof. Short of manufacturing my own micarta and smelting my own steel, this is as %100 as it gets. This was the last knife I ground on my 1/3hp 1x42 before it kicked the bucket. Freehand unsupported.

Another kick ass knife that makes my undies get tighter! Haha! What a great lookin blade! Absolutely love the design, well done Shineyedges! Also, excellent work Charlie Mike!

 

[shinyedges]

Thanks knifeoholic, been using it all afternoon and man it's a pleasure to work with.

Always amazed that CM does these grinds free handed without support. Must have some steady hands.

Made a one stick fire from this hard dry piece of oak along the lake I'm at. No Hotspots or issues bare handed. The other end of this chunk of oak was knotty and it had an elbow. Charlie Mikes A2 is on point!

Triple tempered to 60-61RC after redneck cryo.

 

[shinyedges]

Big thanks, matt. I know it will be a long time companion. And it's my first custom knife, something I can never forget. You're apart of that brother.

[Charlie Mike]

It was great working with you on that.

 

[Charlie Mike]

Wouldn't y'know... Someone saw this and wants me to build him one

 

[shinyedges]

Of my design?

 

[shinyedges]

Shit, I'm honored! I used this baby for an hour+ on hard wood with no gloves and zero Hotspots. They'll love it!

 

[Charlie Mike]

Yup... But with reversed handle color.

 

[shinyedges]

Matt, let a little more handle stick out the kydex for gripping while drawing. I modded my sheath. I'll send you a pic, other than that it was awesome.

Jaw dropping pic Chris!! What a beautiful spot!!

 

[extrastout]

Well played having Charlie do the work! Awesome blade Shinyedges!

Good job the sheath was on the long side instead of too short

 

[shinyedges]

Thanks guys, I put Charlie mikes A2 to the test and I find it holds up very well. I'll likely draw up another design and matt will receive another hour long call about blades and assorted phuckery.
