IMACASA Grass Hook Correction

[FortyTwoBlades]

Noticed this fella' in IMACASA's catalog last year and just got my hands on a sample. The blade wasn't aligned with the grip correctly and was presenting way too closed relative to the action of the cut, and the crank of the tang was also tilted slightly down instead of slightly up as it should. A quick application of heat from my mini induction heater and it was in proper shape. I passed along the suggestion that they alter the bend to bring it into this alignment, along with supporting photos. I still need to re-rivet the new grip, but it's a much more useful shape now, with no change to the original blank, merely a different bend.

In design, I always find it funny that the most obvious answer is the hardest one to see/find.
It's quite difficult to design Simple

Good Job!!! Looks way better now

That looks a lot better.
