So I recently joined Bladeforums and damn that was a huge mistake! At least for my wallet........... 
I couldn't help myself when this little guy came up from another member here, RWN2000.
Third from the left:
Specs:
Neck/PSK Knife: A PSK sanded to 800 grit and dressed up with G-10 scales
OAL: 5"
Steel: 1/8" O-1
Blade: 2 1/2" Tip to Scales
Scales: Brown/Tan G10
Pins:1/4" thong tube for pins
Extras:
Sheath: 8-9 oz leather neck sheath
So anyways I got the knife for a deal, and it arrived quickly.
My plan was to mod the sheath and add a belt loop for a small fixed EDC, and so that nice hand made sheath came under the knife, no pun intended.
I stripped the stitching and cut the layers of leather apart to get to the back layer. Cut it down, and added a belt loop from some scrap leather, unfortunately not the right colour, but nice thick leather, and nobody is gonna see the back anyways, so........
Anyways here is the belt loop:
Now to the knife itself. I slightly rounded off the sharp edges on the G10. Simple enough, but once I started fiddling with it I couldn't stop. LOL. Being O1 tool steal it is not stainless at all so I was thinking of forcing some kind of patina with vinegar, or something like that, but I just so happened to be going through my junk drawer looking for a part for a WTB ad on CGN, and found my cold bluing kit from months ago.
Long story short the blade was blued in no time. I didn't spend too much time on it, and was not after a perfect finish whatsoever. I like the way the different colours come out as the bluing is applied, and it is gonna jus wear off with use anyways.
Now to the grind, and edge on this bad boy. Took the Lansky to her starting with the Heavy then to the medium and fine grits, followed by the steel, and after almost an hours worth of work she was razor sharp. Push cutting a magazine page is about as sharp as it gets for me, and it is easily shaving sharp.
Anyways here she is:
Let me know what you think. I am pretty happy.
Thanks for tuning in.
