That Crawford is simply stunning.
Instead of a safe how about a room?
Like I said before…I’ve got room at my house if you need it![]()
The next time my wife says I have too many knives, I'm showing her this post. You are a beast DocJekl!So, I could use another room for the knives that don't fit inside the safe...
You don’t think it’s a little too late for that???Maybe limiting my space in the safe by keeping the boxes with them will keep me from buying too many?
Nah...
The scales look fantastic! Who made them?Decided to trick out my OG Shaman with a set of textured titanium scales. I'm very happy with the results! Did have an interesting experience with the install.
Being the lazy bastard that I am, I decided to remove one scale at a time and replace it. That way I wouldn't have to do a full take down. This worked well enough, but when I tightened everything back up the blade was off center, and there was a ton of side to side blade play. Since shortcuts rarely work I had to do the full take down anyway.
What I found was the factory had installed the captive pivot backwards on the knife. I bought it new and had never serviced it so it had to be the factory. The reason I had never noticed it before was they had pressed the pivot in with enough pressure to leave a burr in the captive side liner where the round was forced in against the flat.
A little clean-up, removing the burr with a jewelers file, getting the pivot in correctly, oil and assembly and the action is perfect. I was never in love with the knife because the action was too loose. After, it's got just the right amount of resistance. Will be getting a ton more pocket time.
