Congratulations on the 5. I know it will serve you welll.

 

[Silver Needle]

The 5 showed up today!

Best day ever

I got so caught up in playing with this beauty I didn't even post it.

 

[Paradiggum]

Here are some of mine.
M390, 3V, M390 with a swedge and the other is maybe S90V. It's been so long since I took this pic.

Same knife, same camp but months later.

 

[Texas_toothpick]

Nice. If one ever has to leave, I'll make a good foster home.

 

[Silver Needle]

Lookin' real good, gentlemen!

 

[Hard Knocks]

That's a great looking bunch of knives. Did this one with the swedge come factory, or did you put that on yourself?

Came from the factory like that.

Came from the factory like that.

Crazy! I vaguely remember your knife and that pic coming up somewhere a long time ago. A swedged 4.1 is so rare and looks awesome!

Yeah, I can't remember if I tweeted it or posted it on the FB group. Guy told me it's nice to see where some of his knives go. I also remember talking to him on the phone and mentioning that one, so it could have all been in conversation. I dunno, it was many moons ago.
I couldn't even tell you where each knife came from. Some from the Survive website, a few from a shop in Maryland. I have 2 S90V that came from the website, 2 in M390, the swedged one in M390, an uncoated 3V and a black coated 3V, the SK and a GSO 6 in flat dark earth coating. The 4.1 is the sized knife I use the most so I wanted one for the BOB, Bushcrafting kit, Emergency car kit and so on.

It certainly does look awesome. I like swedges on field-dressing knives. Hopefully that will be an option in the future.

Do you think grinding a swedge is something that would have to be done outside the shop?

 

[Hard Knocks]

I'm just not sure if it's something Guy would want to fool with. It certainly could be done outside the shop. I've done several of my own and they are not too hard. The most difficult part is keeping both sides even, and that is why I would opt for a factory-done swedge if offered. Especially a swedge ground by Guy, which I know would be even

 

[Texas_toothpick]

Yea id freak if I could get a 7/7 with a false grind.

 

[Hard Knocks]

It would look great on the 7/7, especially the new model!

Tearing down boxes this morning with the SK-4 and decided to snap yet another pic. A tiny bit of rust at the tip but otherwise no changes from the acidic water dip. And still no maintenance outside of taking it to the strop to touch up the edge since then.

Not the best picture ever, but a family photo of the green canvas gang with it's newest member the 5.0!!:

That has a good looking patina!

Looking good! I forgot you got the Necker2 also!

It was a lucky pickup (almost got the other one that popped up) and I immediately ordered some green canvas for them. This 5.0 is a beast, it's hard to tell in pictures. I thought the box had two knives in it!
