Just like Friar I carried my PITS this morning, but switched it out for the CS American Lawman this afternoon.

Thanks for the pics. I actualy think the reverse tanto(or whatever you want to call it) looks best. Grinding it down just makes it a hair to slim for the handle. i might give that reverse tanto a try though.
So far my plans for this knife are multi row bearrings, mirror finish the blade, blue anoed scales, and now that new blade grind.
Thanks again for the pics.

Sorry, I meant to say that I prefer the reverse tanto too :o Let me know how the other mods go, I'm very interesting in seeing how your Hills turns out!

That swayback makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and that fixed blade... Oh man!

Thanks Blues :)

The fixed blade is by Morgan Koens and features an acid and stone-washed W2 blade with grooved ironwood handles. The guy definitely has nice skills (my first knife from him…but not my last :)). It's like the future knocked at my door and handed me a knife! :eek:

The Hawkbill (a.k.a. "The Reaper") is by Jared Oeser - a maker who, IMHO, is just too damn good to be doing this part-time. He has an amazing natural aesthetic sense, offering consistently stunning modern takes on traditional style knives. Steel is CPM-154, bolster is black micarta, shield and border are orange g-10, and handles are grey burlap micarta.

My favorite knife combo. Delica for any random task and the para2 in case things get serious :D
 
Lightly reprofiled this afternoon. Not perfect, but I like the effect I get from putting a little belly on my tantos.

Damn, that was a tanto? What did you use to reprofile the blade? I'm far from being able to do something like that so I'm curious. I still rely on a sharpmaker to sharpen my knives. I really need to start learning stones and get some tools to do work like that.

And nice HK45, I fucking love that gun. That and the P227 are my favorite "combat" 45's. I'd love to get the HK soon to add to my collection. There are some nice deals going on right now for the USP though, 9/40/45. Been looking at those as well.

Another picture with some additions!

Haha I'm by no means a master sharpener. I just dropped the coin on a wicked edge so I use that. To reprofile a tanto, you just sharpen straight through the secondary point for long enough and eventually it smooths out into a belly. I really like the resulting blade shape and strength.

And thanks! That HK45C was my first taste of the "combat" style 45's. Before that I carried a 1911, but it was a cheap one and it was just too heavy to carry. So far I'm really liking it. The USP series is remarkably comfortable and is more tame as far as recoil goes. I've been thinking about grabbing one myself because of all the good deals out there.

That's definately a nice pair David:thumbup:

The grooved handle on that Koens is stunning, it gives of a nice aesthetic appeal while maintaining a great sense of class due to the ironwood. The Oeser speaks for itself; Grade A. The grind alone speaks volumes of the craftsmanship.

2 great makers that won't be forgotten, now that I'm aware:)
 
Was carrying just the 710 I posted earlier.
But, I picked this up and cant seem to put it down.

 
My boy's and my carry today :) I know I know... I'll get him some real knives when he gets better with them ;)

Here was today's carry:

I picked up the BuckLite Max this afternoon. $18, American made, Paul Bos' heat treat, and 420hc steel? Alright, I can dig it. I picked it up right away. The sheath, alright, it's pretty bad. I would have to say though that it'll be perfect for light task or a weekend knife. As thin as the blade is, a few minutes on the stones and this thing will be a fantastic little slicer. All in all, for the outlay, I'm well pleased.

Where'd you pick it up Forrest? I just might have to give one of those a shot.

Hey brother, got it at a local big box. Various places online have it for the same price. The actual price is $19.99, but I had a coupon (this place just opened). I would have bought it for the $20 either way. A nice, light little fixed blade with a three inch blade. I may have one of our kydex guys here on BF bend me something, because the sheath is typical Buck. The sheath is big and fat, a nylon jobbie with the plastic inner sleeve, so pocket carry is awkward. But I think this little thing definitely should be considered when discussing inexpensive fixed blade options for folks who may not want to toss out a ton of green if they decide to give EDCing a fixed blade a try. That's for sure!
