My new custom picklock... Thanks Kaleb Reynolds (Muskratman)!

[tommyw1968]

After six months of design changes, hunting down just the right materials and ordinary patience, I finally had this made for me by Kaleb Reynolds aka Muskratman. (Thanks to Bill DeShivs for the recommendation!)

I call it my "Mammoth Tank". She weighs a ton and is probably just as dangerous thrown either closed or open, but is a joy to hold. It started with a modern 11"Latama, then I went with long 3/8" thick sambar twist mokume bolsters and elongated button, a slender, earless profile, mammoth bark scales from and some file work. She really is a beast.

Next on my list is to contact Pat Havlin about a square button. Just gotta' figure out how to reach him.

Nice. What's it look like closed?

This may be the custom forum, but they don't seem to like/buy many autos. In discussions about "current trends" nobody ever mentions autos, well maybe Diskin. May want to post this in the Auto forum. They may appreciate it more over there.
