Customized SnG

[Gress]

Look at the work Mr. Blauvelt of tuffknives has done to my production Strider SnG. Here is a before picture.

It is a great knife and I loved it, but wanted to get a full Ti scale on it. After a 3-month long wait I got it back from Geoff with following work done:
Install full Ti scale, reprofile framelock-side grip for CC, sandblast both scales, put swedge and re-sharpen the blade, blacken and repolish the pivot, install Carbon-Al backspacer, adjust the lock and the mechanism.

The work done by Mr. Blauvelt exceeded my expectations. The knife turned out just perfect. Everything functions and looks amazing. Top notch custom work!
Could not be happier

Thank you very much Geoff for making one great custom SnG for me.

Geoff does great work, I wish I could have gotten a set of scales before he stopped taking orders. Anyway, that SNG is a beaut my friend.

Agreed. If my SnG came that way I'd probably still have it.

Absolutely top notch work from the looks of things.

I know what you saying. I am a Hinderer guy and was considering selling my Striders, but now with MSC full Ti PT

and this SnG I will not sell those two. They are just so good.

Sweet really like the work. All titanium has a good look.

That is gorgeous. Flick that baby open a bit. It doesnt look like the lock even engages to the ground part of the tang.

Thanks for the advice and yes you know it, I can't resist flicking it open Everytime it sure egages well and it does go to the ground part. Perhaps a picture angle issue

Heck ya, If I ever got a Strider, Id say that would be the one. I love fondling my frame lock. I bet you cant keep your hands off of her.
