For some reason I am drawn to Mike Gavac's work. I have a midtech and an older custom, so I didn't really need another. This hobby has long taught me to ignore the word "need." This is a custom modified Mako. He auctioned it off on IG a little over a year ago and it somehow found its way to me. I think I am going to be its forever home. I couldn't pass up the price, and it was love at first sight. It opens so smoothly and drops freely. The action is pretty close to my Shirogorov.

Not sure how I would sharpen it by hand but...

I thought the same thing. I freehand sharpen, but am still learning. Plus, it currently has a mirrored edge and that is beyond my skill level.
 
Very nice, love the finish :thumb:
He seems like such a cool guy, its always good to support makers like that.
 
Good Lookin Blade, Congrats...... In the big picture I agree wholely with you. Many of us here have no real need, Excellent Call TD
 
A Gavko Mako is my grail knife. If I got one, I could give up collecting and never get another blade...



...for at LEAST a month, maybe more.
 
Sweet looking work right there brother!!!
Congrats and enjoy it!!

I agree. I feel like this knife has all the little Gavkoesque things that he does all wrapped into one.
