[rt014]

Agreed. That is one of the most spectacular mods I've ever seen.

 

[NORCAL HUNTER]

WOW!!!! That looks great.....San jose not that far from me when should I pick it up......lol

 

[Gary007]

I'm also nearby! I gotta come over and hold that thing!

 

[Soulrack223]

That looks so killer!!! Did you mod the false edge or just sharpen it?

 

[azshaman]

Ban, your work just gets more and more awesome! The ironwood and pins on this baby are just incredible!! And I'm really impressed with the edge; can almost see the hamon effect you mention. GREAT work!!

 

[book'em]

Amazing work. Looks like it could split atoms.That has got to be the nicest FBM that I've seen. That one deserves to have professional photos done.:thumbup:

You've managed to improve an FBM. In every way.

That's no mean feat.

So ... when do you start your new job in Wauseon?

 

[Lil' Foo]

Bans satin finish is on par with custom makers finish I own and better than any factory satin finish I have seen. That ironwood looks awesome. I have plenty of experience with that stuff and it is no fun. The only negative to ironwood is that it is so much heavier than all other materials for handles and it really weighs down a knife. But on a behemoth like the FBM it isn't such big deal.

 

[Progunner]

WOW!That is a beauty!

Fantastic, I love Iron wood and I love that knife. GREAT how does the swedge effect the forward weight?

 

[Ban]

Thanks for the kind words folks.

The iron wood used on this knife is picked from a much larger piece to get the nicest grain.

I'm also nearby! I gotta come over and hold that thing!

You and anyone else are welcome to come by and check it out before monday evening.

That looks so killer!!! Did you mod the false edge or just sharpen it?

I added the sharpened swedge. This one started as factory FFBM.

Amazing work. Looks like it could split atoms.That has got to be the nicest FBM that I've seen. That one deserves to have professional photos done.:thumbup:

That is a good idea. I may have to call Lunde and see if he has some time to spare this weekend

Fantastic, I love Iron wood and I love that knife. GREAT how does the swedge effect the forward weight?

I am sure that it changed the balance a tiny bit. It doesn't really make much difference in terms of balance because the thing is so darn heavy and massive.
