Banned Blades

[dobywon]

Since it was Ban's B-day this weekend lets see some of the stuff that has made him famous. I dont have any(yet) but I love to see his work. So if you have a Banned blade post it!!!!!

Here's an AD I got in last week. Sharpest knife I've ever owned!
It looks WAY better than it does in pic, I need to get a better pic.

This was an OD/Green Linen. The GL slabs were very fat so I had some scales from a BAD put on it. The BAD scales are very thin, and I love black/satin.

I have a nice set of three Banned Busses, to cover all ones needs. I had him put a clip on the FSH, that had been KAAK's user, and had a horrible thick edge

The Mistress came to me from tomthebaker, but someone thought it had been one of Uncle Jarvis's beaters at one point.

here's my chicken killer, it's more than scary sharp, it's the sharpest knife in this world.

it will slice the feet off chickens just by pointing it at them!!

Hi fellas. I'm not that familiar with Bans work. What all does he do? From what Ive seen there is some shaping and sharpening envolved. Is it easy to maintain the edges he puts on your knives or do you have to send them back to him? BTW, everyones photos look great. Love your BA Scott, one of my all time favorites.

Here's one he did for my wife, piano key style (from a skeleton key):

Awesome guys. I shipped my NMFBM for Ban's treatment

I can't wait.

 

[BIGBEAR]

That Skeleton Key looks incredible!!!!!

Ban's edges are convexed. Convex edges are very very very easy to maintain. They are probably the easiest edges to maintain hair popping sharp ever.

Just give them a quick pass on the strop.

I have no banned blades, sadly, but I do convex my own.

So I guess using a stone on them would screw this up?
