Just thought I would share some pics of a couple of knives you might enjoy

The bk2 was hand sanded to 1000 grit and has a convex edge that is ridiculously sharp. Added the tkc g10 handles as well which are amazing

The zt 560 has a 17 degree bevel per side and polished for hours...btw, Elmax is freakishly hard steel to polish and reprofile. This one can push cut toilet paper

The 808 loco is a new one and is my edc with a 21 degree bevel. I honestly like it better ergonomically than the zt. Absolutely amazing knife. Also did the strip and scotch Brite job on the clip

OK how do I copy images from my phone
 
library


Let see if this works...who knows.....

Errr...seriously...this is frustrating trying to do it from a new phone

Easier said then done from a new phone..it was hard enough to get it to copy and paste anything.....lol
 
BTW. This is my first bk2 and have no idea why I waited this long. And the first time at hand polishing a convex by hand

Learned how to do it from watching virtue voice on youtube...love that dude...hello knife people (in a Japanese voice)lol

with a sanding block and wet 1000 grit for hours. started of with a orbital sand and had to watch the blade temp while doing as not to over heat the blade. Then progresses from 400 grit to 1000 with a final longitudinal direction hand sand
I could have gotten a mirror polish on it but i did not fell like it and they don't look like that any more. I usually go out and chop with them soon after i get finished so i won't be to scared to use them. I know, its wierd, but i mostly do it just to experiment with stuff and it does help out the performance quit a bit. i always like to try new stuff or you will never learn anything
 
BTW...i know this is off topic but does have to do with metal..lol
These are 2 parts i made on the robotic welder i program and work with. The box is made up of separate 1/8" pieces and was completely welded solid.
The other is a presentation part i made for showing off what the robot was capable off, all different welds and positions
also, the PID logo and swoosh were welded by the robot as well

Back on topic....
here is in my opinion one of the most over looked underrated knives out. Absolutely phenomenal knife. Convex edge as well. Funny, i have never had a convex edge before until about 2 days ago and LOVE the way they cut and bite
