Nice, Brian. Rob does great work. He did something similar for my BATACLE and I'm very happy with it. I have a large survival sheath for my SFNO, and I wish it had the fitted kydex. I may have my good friend GentleBen bend one for it when he gets some kydex. Regardless, though, Rob's design is great, and your pics make me want another Fehrman. ; )
 
I really gave the Last Chance a beating last week and this knife will handle some heavy chopping.

I took down a 5" trunk and root for the firepit and then split it and the Last Chance never missed a beat.

I had folks watching me chop and they were impressed that such a "short" knife could do such big work and throw such big chips. They were blown away by the fuzz sticks I could make with this little fatty. :)

The sheath is absolutely the finest pairing I could have wanted for this knife and did exactly what I want how I want. Now they're both a little dirty and have been officially "broken in" as a pair.

I missed this knife the whole time Rob had it for sheathing and now that it's back I'm not going to miss an opportunity to use and enjoy it. :thumbup:

And to think...you almost sold it to me. Aren't ya glad ya didn't? Now ya got me thinking I want another one myself. :rolleyes:
 
Would any of you guys happen to have a spine shot of the Last Chance? Im really starting to want one but have never seen one in person, the pics help alot.
 
Here's a spine shot of the Last Chance, next to a Busse BATAC LE.

Here's the Fehrman in an unmodified Spec Ops sheath, works nice enough.

How is the tip thickness on the last chance? Is it pretty beefy? A pic would be great:D
Thanks for the pics BTW
 
My Last Chance has been given a bit of a break as I beat on a First Strike for a while:

I really liked this picture and thought I'd bring this thread back up. :)

I stripped a Thru-Hiker a while back and it takes about 10 minutes to get the coating off and then a few hits on a Scotchbrite belt brings up a really nice satin finish. I only did the bevels on mine and left the "natural" finish on the flats and handle.

Just FYI, Eric was not as excited about my stripped Thru-Hiker as I was--something about messing with perfection. :D

Is it so easy to get a satin finish?
Does this mean the blades are nicely finished under the coating, different like say Busse?
I might get a "coated one", leave the coating on the handle for protection and do the blade.

Any one has a Peace Maker and a Fallkniven for a comparison picture?
