Here is a little EDC that I made awhile back. Its different in that I thinned out the stock from 1/8 down so its thinner than normal. I decided I was going to send it to my wood guy since he gives me good deals but...I put the scales on today and after sanding down I noticed a seperation between scales and tang in a few spots. Rather than tearing them off I decided to just fill the gaps with glue and sell as a beater or just keep in myself. You can't really see the seperation in the pics because of the darkened spine but they appear to be solid and again they were filled with CA glue. I don't even know what the wood is, probably Maple or Myrtle but Im not positive.
$40.00 shipped without sheath

Whatever the wood is, it looks good. If my wallet wasn't already so thin you can read a newspaper through it, I'd be
hollerin' for this one. Wouldn't be surprized if someone doesn't pick it up soon.
 
I still have to do some details to it like chamfer the thong tube and stamp, forgot to mention that.
 
Chris, if still available, I'll take it -- maybe then SWMBO will stop looking at the collab knife so closely... :)
 
Its yours Vik! Thanks. Ill get it finished up tomorrow and send it your way in the afternoon. Shoot me a pm with your address. No work, kids, or wife tomorrow until 4 so Im gonna be a spark flying machine!

. . . bad move Vik . . . You buy this one for your wife thinking "if she has her own knife, she will leave mine alone" . . . . WRONG !!! !!! !!! :eek:
All this means is now she has her own to get familar with and that makes her more comfortable going after the ones in the "big stash" . . . . . :D :D
Take care buddy, great knife at a great price . . . .
Be safe.
 
lol...i was once under that illusion as well. Now, not only does Ash make fun of me for my addicitions but she has aquired and will not let me play with...

Several others have vanished and I have a sneaking suspision they will show up in her hands.

oh well at least she is using them. I would rather he have a knife on her while walking around Nashville than not.
 
Alan, Sally used to come in and get a knife to use for whatever she needed it for . . . . now she shows me pictures of knives she wants to get & that she can find 20 uses for, and that's just in the kitchen . . . . . ;)
She is starting to put together quite a little collection of her own, thank god she's not into guns yet . . . . .
Be safe.
 
Chris, damn, you can't even ruin a knife :)
this one looks sweet, love everything about it
guess I'll have to scrape around the attic to find some funds sooner or later (sooner, rather)
 
J1m...Ash has already started with the fire arms. She has a 12 guage, has taken over the Colt 1911 in .45, and the marlin 44 Mag leveraction.


I plan on trying to get the .44 Mag home with me after this weekend, so i will post up some pics if you want :D
