Dare to wave

[Charlie Mike]

Somebody called me and dared me to wave a Sebenza...

For the record, I'll never wave a Sebbie. It doesn't have enough thumb ramp real estate

Seriously though, even I have standards.

Make a wave out of a piece of scrap metal and weld it on!

 

[MORIMOTOM]

don't ever do it!!!!!!

I thought of something like that, except that you machine a dovetail cutout into the spine, then craft a wave with an interlocking piece that fits into the dovetail, and epoxy it.

When are you going to wave a fixed blade?

 

[tnt-user]

Use a ziptie. Mines homemade and cost $.25 and 30 seconds.

I was thinking about using a TIG to weld a wave onto a BM Rukus. I'm pretty decent with TIG but I don't have access to the machinery to do so.

Waving a fixed blade would be like waving a folding shotgun stock

That person would be Me. LOL

On thicker spines, it's possible to drill a hole and insert a threaded bar. The Spyderco Pkal uses a removable wave design like that.

Waving a Seb would only barely be worth it for the shock value

lol, right up there with bayonet lug on a pistol. I believe Emerson has offered a fixed blade with a 'wave.' Say it ain't so, Ernie!

Yep, the fixed blade Karambit is waved.

 

[RxEnergy]

You can try and wave it the way Spyderco P'Kal is waved.

Just a thought

 

[Charlie Mike]

The problem is the blade is already hardened. Good way to break a tap.

 

[Chewy1]

Guess you'll have to anneal it then. (Is that covered by the warranty?)

 

[Charlie Mike]

That's just too much bs to go through.

See if you can fit something around the thumbstud. There's an example here:

Kinda inelegant though...

And CM is an elegant guy.

Send whatever you need welded to me.

I'm not a looks guy. I just want it shiny.
