[skblades]

Better late than never! Samples from Buck. Tag your friends, tag your neighbors, spread the word.

You see before you the 2 Blade Opposing End knife and the 2 Blade Same End knife.

Scales Opposing: Giraffe Bone
Scales Same End: Ironwood

yeah not feeling the same end one from the pics

 

[AlwaysTomboy]

I was all for the opposite end already, but now I'm totally in love. Thanks again, skblades , for all you've done to make this happen regardless of the outcome of the voting.

Hmmm... I was in favor of the same end version, but I can see a possibility of issues with accessing the nicks on the same side.

I really like that (iron?)wood. Will going with two blades rather than three allow enough in the budget to get covers in something other than Micarta?

 

[Will Power]

With those tangs rubbing on the same end Jack, you may have to expect underwhelming W&T...

What's the scales on the opposite end knife?

Thanks, Will

I think this sells me completely on the two blade opposite end.

The same end configuration is a little nicer looking (in the well) than I anticipated, but I do think there's a bit too much space for my liking.

And at roughly 15% thinner than the standard three blade, either of these look like a lean mean cutting machine.

Thank you very much skblades and Buck for being so accommodating!

You already have budget for something over Micarta even with the 3 blade version

Hopefully everyone stops pinching pennies by removing blades then The opposite end is nice, but I'd really like to turn a Spey into a pen on the regular configuration .

I'm thinking about turning it into a small clip blade like on a carpenter's whittler!

Thanks, skblades!

Thanks skblades (and Buck)

This goes ditto from me. Both have gone above and beyond. Preston

 

[supratentorial]

Thank you and Buck for the samples! skblades could you copy and paste the photos in the 1st post so that it doesn't get buried?

If you need some photos of a 3 blade for comparison, here are a couple.

 

[leghog]

Opposite ends is the pen knife that wasn't.

 

[jakemex]

The samples made my decision easier: 2 blade opposite
Thinner more elegant, two useful blades. Why modify a collectible if the Spey ain’t your cuppa tea.
Thanks to Buck and SKblades

Either one of these would be great!!
Thanks for getting these built up and and posted!

 

[joeradza]

Make 'em both.

 

[jwb01]

Those both look fantastic! However, I am not swayed.... my vote stays at 3 blades.

 

[skblades]

Make 'em both.

We are going to do a 501 instead
