Did you notice the mods. I took out the pointy hump on the spine and made one sweeping curve. Then I ground the guard down to the mikarta. And I brought the choil back toward the handle. Much better now.

Damn that choil though. No need on this knife.
 
Your Hairy Carry looks great, Andy. Way better than my mod. I was going for the screwdriver look.

"Hmmm. If I promise not to start making knives to compete, will you divulge the secret?"

horny; he did divulge. the name of the belt grinder is the KMG... i can understand it looking like an internet abbreviation of some kind...

nice mod there, looks better.

I'm sorry. I thought KMG was a household name. Its a knife grinder.

Hey, no problem. Even though I own a number of custom knives from various makers, I never looked into how you craftsmen actually make one. I'm sure there are lots of resources around this site to learn.

Nice mods. Many people can make a knife. A few can make a knife with nice lines.:thumbup:
 
Great work Andy, that's one of their only knives I've been really 'into'. Looks like a very formidable woods blade.
 
Dude etch that blade to take the logo off and slap some dual wood scales on it and you got a winner. :thumbup:

Thank you!! Thats a great compliment!




Bruche! Busse does a whole knife quench. Etching wouldn't do much. They had some sweet looking customs at Blade Show at $180 ish. I went for the $118 model.
