Thanks...I'm having a blast modding and setting up each one. Maybe I should spread the fun out over a couple weeks. Nah....I'm all about instant gratification LOL
(oh yeah, note to everyone, expect extreme photo-whoring from me for next few days or weeks LOL)

Not much I could do to the FFG16 since it was already stripped and beautifully patina'ed so I stippled some black scales and put em on. I love the stippling, cant really use zytel without it anymore.
Then I rubbed some of the patina off LOL
I like this FFG a LOT better then the sabre, great call there Ethan.

Nice! What do you do use to stipple your handles? I could never get it to look anything like that!

just a soldering iron, I filed the tip a lil flatter is all. That's my 4th or 5th set, and Im just now getting satisfied. Mine dont look as good as Wasatch's lol
the key is light fast taps, like a Wasatch Woodpecker! lol
Tried out the Tram/Trade chete some, Love this thing, cant wait to really try it out
two chops, one from each side
8 chops total to cut thru
5 chops in one direction to whack thru this one (slightly smaller diameter)
Need to try out the fine edge near the handle....see how it'll work for detail tasks, it WILL pop arm hair off I know that! Thanks again man, loving it.
