Well, had my stress test at the hospital today, passed it easily, so tomorrow the Gallbladder comes out. I'll be laid up a bit from surgery, but it'll be nice to feel better. Been sick quiet some time.

So I was feeling a bit rough and the mailman bring me a package, from a trade I made with Marcelo Cantu. It's my sweet factory micarta scales F-1. WOW! I have seen some customs that were not this nice. I had an H-1 with custom scales I really regret getting rid of, but for some reason :) I don't miss it that much now. Pics to follow soon.

Here's the new sweetness!

Thanks Bro, I am actually excited about it. Been sick for years and they thought it was my liver. One visit to the new dr. and they find it . So I am very happy to be on the road to good health again!
 
NICE! I am somewhat of an F1 addict. I have two of the standard ones and a custom from JRE on the way. I think my next will be just like that. What a beauty!

Great stuff, a full-tang rehandled F1 is on my short wish list! Great looking blade. It seems so improveable over the standard F1. Best of luck through the surgery !!
 
Good luck with the surgery, bladefrienzy, but I'm sure it will come out fine.

Beautiful looking knife, BTW. :thumbup:

I just read the fine print, a nice surprise . Laminated VG-10. For some reason I was thinking it was solid. So it'll act just like my H-1. Been thinking, I still need another h-1. Maybe I'll track down a bare blade and use the same black linen micarta and have a pair. Thanks for all the positive thoughts guys. I'm gonna be better than I have in a while. Just sucks having no health insurance AND being off work for a bit.
 
Hey my Gall-brother. I spent last night in the ER because of a really bad Gall bladder attack, I was pretty sure I was going to die.

Best of luck with that surgery.

Hey, ask the surgeon if he'll do it with the new knife, ultimate test for the edge.
 
:thumbdn: on the sickness, get better soon :thumbup::thumbup: on that F1 beauty. I've had my eyes on the F1 in micarta for a while now.
 
Shotgunner, I was actually gonna put that in my first post,lol. I belive the edge is sharp enough! Yep, I've spent many a night at the hospital , so dehydrated because I couldn't even keep a sip of water down.
 
I have to have all of those tests now too. If I pass, they will change my left shoulder . The joint is shot big time. It's been killing me for five years or more and it's no longer worth debating, its gotta go.:grumpy:

Best of luck to you. Hope you feel a lot better.
 
Do those have convexed edges? If so, might be a good sub for the BRKT I wont be buying now. :grumpy:
 
Great looking blade! God Speed on the surgery and I hope you're back on your feet quickly to get some dirt time with that beautiful blade:thumbup:

Yup, full convex. I only have 1 Fallkniven (an f1) which I was very pleased with the fit and finish of, and I havent heard any specific problems only the occasional generalization that "their f/f isnt perfect".
