Nice one G2!

I really like my yellow delrin 'nut but I love my Damascus Peanut! I had them out cleaning them up this morning, they are such cool little knives.

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Thanks and yeah, years ago I had a stag Damascus peanut, probably only a day and sold her off, should have kept but didn't.

On this one I did take a very small file to the face of the back springs so the blades will fall back a little more, not as angled when opened now.

congrats, nice looking nut. yes, they have a lot of angle, I got used to it, now Rough Riders straight nut feels overly high bladed to me.. lets see how your blade sits now

That's a good idea, I might have to try that. Any pointers?

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Of course...I didn't take any BEFORE shots, go figure right? but here's what they look like now, more so for the pen blade than the clip. I used a jewler's file with the edge of the file sliding across the face of the tang as they usually have a little kick or angle so they can adjust in the build, also the blades have a slight angle too on the tang but that's harder to get to on these smaller knives;

Here's a file kit similar to the one I have shown here on Amazon

Some angle is to be expected and was designed in I'm sure, but, I'd rather have things a little straighter if I can make it so, also do a similar thing on my Opinels but file the tang of the blade so it sits back more.

ALWAYS do a little bit and check, as you can take more off, it's the puttin' back on you'll find to be a pain

edited to say, love that shot of the Damascus Jon, very nice!

the peanut looks well made in every way , a perfect example to my eye! so far I have made sharp sharper and taken it for its first walk in the woods.
you have some pretty rocks on your side of the bridge !!

Thanks it's nice here. Happy it's a good specimen, I've always had good luck with Case, only complaint, which is not really a complaint is they look like they sharpen their edges with 60 or 80 grit, but mine have all been well made.
