Resilience with a little different look...just for fun

[serratededge]

With a little influence from Mr. Smith, Mr. Schempp, and Mr. Keating, here is what I came up with. Makes for an outstanding user

That's pretty wicked. Nice job!

 

[Jay Covey]

That resilience is ridiculously cool looking

 

[bean_sips]

Very nice! I bet it cuts like a mofo with that recurve.

Nice work! I wasn't expecting that when I opened the thread.

 

[JSMcustoms]

This is really sweet looking.

 

[serratededge]

Thank you gents. Yes reverse pull cuts are like butter. One reason I gave it a very slight recurve was that I do alot of pull cuts at work. And I also needed a fine tip for precise slicing too. When I get some extra time I may slap on some cf pants

When you said "a little different look" I was expecting some new handles or a changed blade finish, but this...this is rather interesting.
I'm not sure whether I like it or not, but you did do a very excellent job with what you changed. It looks like it came from the factory just like that, very well done.

I vote this shape for a new factory option!

Seriously though, that looks proper.

Very nice work. Blade shape looks like it owes more than a bit to Eduard Bradichansky.

Hi Paul,
Mr. Bradichansky deserves a nod aswell althought I had not even considered his design while grinding. They do look like they are cut from the same stone lol....or we are related lol.

I really like what you did to the tip.

 

[Chris "Anagarika"]

Nice work! Looks like done by factory!

Did you thin/taper down the area towards the tip?

 

[serratededge]

Thank you Chris,

The tip is 100% stock from the factory per cutting edge. I merely dropped the spine. I wanted to maintain the entire cutting edge. I lost a little tip strength but gained alot of precision. The spine thickness at the tip is better than I would have imagine. I have the ffg to thank for that.

Dave,

That's make it more impressive! :thumbup:

 

[Dingle1911]

You did amazing work. Thanks for sharing with us.

 

[pbcg]

That's really nice! I like it a lot. Great work.

 

[BladeChick777]

That is definitely cool.
Now it just needs to be stonewashed and have different clothes on lol.

Oh man, a Frame Lock Resilience would be soooooo awesome.

 

[SolidState]

You really prettied up that knife something wonderful.
