Ohh man those look nice!!!!.....I bet they are real mean slicers!

Now I'm not sure what to get from you two as an Eagle Scout knife! Did I mention that I finished my project today! :D (I'm so surprised that laying down the trail only took 2 and 1/2 hours! :eek:)

Now all I have left is a bunch of logistics and paperwork!

I'm really liking these and may need to chat with you soon about possible options for me.... Those extra photos just sweeten the deal! :thumbup:

Have a nice evening!
Mike
 
Hi Guys,
Just thought I'd pipe in here. I really like this model alot. Lamont has been carrying a similar one for the past few years, and I always liked it. Its a very practical design. The sheaths came out really well. The knife fits in with a nice snap. You could dangle upside down and it wouldn't fall out. The label on the new bottle of stain I opened today said Chocolate Brown on it, but its about as close to black as you're gonna get.

When we were discussing what to do next, we came up with the idea of modifying his design. Here you have it. The Sidekick. I made one for myself in red, with a black kydex sheath. Starting tomorrow, its my new EDC knife.

Check it out.
Thanks,
Scott

Hey Mike, congrats on finishing your Eagle Scout project! Scott and I will have to get together with you and hammer out what you want for a knife when your ready. We should make something special, to be worthy of your achievement.
 
Lamont, Scott have been on the downside with more arm surgeries and have not been able to play, I will take #5 let me know where to paypal! Thanks john!
 
Still got a couple of these left. Got some new neckers on the way, but I'd like to sell a couple more of these by the time they are ready. Any takers?
