Phenomenal job! How does it feel running on those PB washers? Beautiful!Rain day = Playtime in the shop = new modded EDC addition. Today I tore apart my Sodbuster, made G10 scales for it, gave it stainless pins with titanium torx screws and big gear themed titanium pivot screws. I also counterbored the pivot on the inside of the scale and put some PB washers in there for the blade to ride on. The knife is riding in my pocket right now and I gotta say I feel a little lost without a lanyard or pocket clip.

Awesome job on that. That is something I'd be proud to carry in my pocket. Very nice looking.Rain day = Playtime in the shop = new modded EDC addition.

Thanks! The action is slightly better than stock I would say. The knife was pretty smooth on the original brass liners but since I deleted them I decided to install the PB washers to keep the blade from rubbing on the scales.Phenomenal job! How does it feel running on those PB washers? Beautiful!

I would agree on that. That Opinel is fantastic. You have quite a few people here who’d buy one if it was possible.Thanks! The action is slightly better than stock I would say.

Thanks DR, I like adding modern materials to traditional knives. I like how it came out but I think the opinel i did is my favorite of the two.
