GLW/McAhron firefighter colab

[McAhron]

Heres the collaboration knife David of Great Lakes Waterjet and I did.It is d2 1/4".David did the profile and initial bevels on his waterjet,leaving me with about .060 to remove.I then drilled and tapped her for holes,heat treated it and put a handle on it.I then added LED's,one shining forward and three under the scales.I also added a firefighters shield that I did using files and added a red bicycle like reflector to.I replaced the fragile LED switch with a robust one and hid the electronics/batteries,switches,etc under the scales.Scales as well as the sheath is orange G-10.There is also glow in the dark material between the four g-10 layers so it will glow in the dark.David and I did this for his wife's cousin who is a firefighter whom successfully beat cancer.It was a fun project.
