Show me your enzos

Here's mine, in the middle of the 2 rehandled modded Mora's.

As I get the money I'll probably do another for myself. I still have a few pieces of exotic woods and want one in bloodwood or purple heart.
 
Wow, thought there would be more than 2 of us here using these. These are awesome bushcraft knives folks. I have used mine pretty hard. The thing cuts like a lightsaber too.
I did very lightly convex the edge on mine. Just with a loaded strop though. No paper or anything like that. Found the edges lasts longer . But I have used mine beyond bushcrafting. I have batoned with it. Skinned small game, just to try it out. I got it because I had hunted for a Woodlore style knife for under $100, nobody had them then. So I got this as kinda second choice. I was a tad fearfull of spending that much on a blade kit. But then saw reviews on several forums , everybody seemed to like em a lot. Glad I got mine. When I am up to it, I hope to do a test between it and the F-1 I got not to long ago.

BTW mine is a lot more used now then it was in the pic. I did the hot vinegar "patina" on it the lightly resharpened the bevel so I have a two tone effect. The hot vinegar makes it look more coated than patina. But works great for rust prevention. Seems pretty tough too.
 
The first two I made were kits - a curly birch and green Micarta Trapper.

Then I saw some EnZos made by some guys on a European forum where they extended the scales past the ricasso(?) the way Tholiver did his. I thought that looked nice and classy, so I made a pair in Cocobolo with red liners and Ebony with white liners:

Then, I had to try a couple of EnZo Elvers in D2...regular v-grind. Here they are in Brazilian Rosewood with red liners and Ebony again in white:

Damn.

You guys got some talent! Those look f*cking excellent. Even the 2 modded Moras Bladefrenzy there did are kickass.:thumbup:

I've been wanting to try one of those for a while but every time I check the grinds I want are SOLD OUT. Must be a run on them cause they are so nice.

What size are the pin holes? Isn't the blade about the same length as an F1, like 3 and a half or something?

Great knives! Y'all rock.

The Moras are outstanding re-handled!!! If I thought I could successfully re-scale a Mora, I'd try it, but those hidden tang knives are daunting to me!

The Trappers pin holes are: 2 - 5/32" holes up front, 2 - 3/16" holes in the middle, 4 - 1/8" holes above and below the middle holes, and a 1/4" lanyard hole.

The Trapper's blade length (cutting edge) is 3-3/8", I believe. The Elver's cutting edge is 3".
 
I swear this is what first came to mind, I guess I don't spend enough time in here.

Thanks Guys! Stretch, it's real easy the way I did the phenolic handled one. I mortised the tang in the orange g-10 and then did the sides like regular scales. It does have hidden pins . Thats a tad bit more difficult . BTW those scales are sweet!!
 
0-1 for me. It might just be me, but I am not a huge fan of d-2. No big problems, just didn't think it was so awesome. I got the 0-1 true scandi grind.
 
On the kits they are not pins. But those who use pins usually epoxy them and pein them. Just epoxy will work fine though.
 
Recently picked one up with ilbruce handles. Neat little blade, very hand-filling. Some durn hard steel too, or so it seems.
