Oh great gosh, I think I'm going to be ill!! :eek: :eek: :eek:





BTW, welcome to BFC and the CRK forum. :D ;)
 
That's a fine approach you used, but I may have something that is more efficient. I would just gind down your sebbie blade by rubbing it on your concrete driveway. It gets a few scratches, but what the heck, it works really fast! Then to finish it off, you might want to flick it open real hard a bunch of times, to properly seat the lock. Try to do this until the lock is fully seated against the opposite scale, and is really hard to release. Just flick the he** out of it, and dont forget a spine whack test on the concrete. Finally, take a dremel and "go to town on the finish" of the scales. I'me sure you'll make it far better looking than the production version. Good luck with your modifications.

:rolleyes: :D

I'd have nothing but CRK's lying around the house, acting as paperweights and every other thing, but my wife would kick me straight in the jimmy if another Sebenza arrived at the doorstep.

Professor.
 
rusty,

that's some funny stuff...lmao...welcome aboard

crk and striders, your off to a good start...(although your cash is already spent) i'd probably opt for the GB for opening the paint cans :)
 
i have to tell you this ,a crew came in to remodel a apt. building near me,iwas talking to the crew leader about knowing someone to put on a roof on my house,in the middle of the conversation one of his crew, a mexican fella asked to borrow his edc ,not thinking he handed him a boker,{which i found out later he had for years}we went back to talkin and in the middle of the conversation i looked just in time to see this guy using his boss,es boker to open up a NEW paint can! when i pointed it out, the guy about flipped! ive never seen anybody moving and yelling like that!the mexican fella sorta looked at him like he was nuts......... :D

Finally, someone who is not afraid to customize a Seb, free handed at that.
I would love to see the picks after you sign your work.

course yo don't. you probly have a car or two up on blocks in the yard. just drive the sebby as hard as you can through the hood or one of the doors. don't now why butt it seems to really sharpen em up. if it gits stuck jus work her back and forth real good and she'll pop right out of there. the side of a tin shack will do in a pinch. shurly you at least have a frend who lives in a tin shack, right?

haven't tryd it butt i have a frend who says he threw his sebby in a burn barrel to give it a pitiner (makes it look old he says)
 
it is good fer cutin roof shingles :p
