Busse Neck Knife!

I used some paracord to make a "Super Cobra" braid lanyard for my Scrapivore.

It helps me get a grip on the knife when unsheathing from the Mashed Cat sheath.

Also, I can lay the lanyard in my palm to create a hand filling grip when using the knife. It definitely makes a big difference with hand fatigue when using the knife for extended periods.....:thumbup:

Yeah, it's a great skill to have but can be difficult depending on the type of wrap you're doing. I find it very relaxing once you get the basics down, I passed a lot of time this winter just playing around with paracord.

The cobra braid is actually incredibly easy to do, you can find how-to videos and literally make something just like my lanyard in minutes. I've also made zipper pull tabs using the cobra braid and it really helps get a nice grip on your zippers.....:)
 
Mr.LCV, you are correct in your assumption. I don't get to cross the bridge often. I didnt mean to sound all doom and gloom I do enjoy Michigans camping, hunting and fishing. I live in a great area for trapping and deer! Plus, I love the West side of the state but, like I said I'm pretty tied to my family and job. I don't want a huge commute and if I didn't visit my family I'd never see them. Aaaa_cccc nice job on the Scrapivor!! I'm just not a huge fan of coated blades... Does Swamp Rat or Scrapyard do a competition finish or something comparable? I know different steels make that difficult but, I'd take a patina over a coating.
 
I'd love to see more Busse and kin neckers! I never knew about the skeleton key. Anyone else out there have more pics?

I was wondering this myself a few days ago. I've seen some competition finish Swamp Rat's and SYKCO, but not very many. I'd imagine that if you requested it when placing your order that they would do it for free since it's basically just unfinished/uncoated. If not you could always strip the coating on the cheap, which is likely what I will do to the Scrapivore soon.

If you planned on adding handle scales to your Scrapivore, I'd recommend getting a coated one anyways to prevent moisture from staying on the bare metal between the scales. You could then strip the blade to bare metal, but you're still left with a protective coating under the scales.

I came across a thread with info on doing a really nice patina job on your knives. The OP was able to get an even, dark black patina on 1095 which almost resembled gun bluing......

Awesome! Last time I saw one of those was in the snow on our deck when we lived in Ruidoso New Mexico for a few months. I really really miss that place. Ponderosa Pines, ravens, wildlife out the wazoo, and the mountains. Spiritual heaven.
 
Skeleton Warden's are ok, but they're heavy, Bear Cub Hack's are perfect.
 
I hate to resurrect an old thread, but I can't seem to determine whether or not neck knives are legal in Michigan. Anyone care to explain whether or not they can be carried concealed. I'd really like to pick up an Emerson La Griffe as a secondary knife, if possible.

My understanding was that ANY fixed blade knives were illegal to carry in MI. Folder's had to be under 3", also. Terrible knife laws, glad I'm not there anymore.

That's the way I interpreted it as well. I was just hoping that I was wrong. I have an Emerson CQC-14 on the way so my folding knife will be way under 3".
