So I made my own bruiser g10 for my newest DSSF

[rcb2000]

Very cool, can't wait to see it.. Always interesting to the the Light Brigade treatment under the scales..

As I suspected... Into the knucks the LB goes.

Grips done...


Next some more modification to the lb section of the grip

Impatiently looking on......

I will say that metal finish wise the argonne Is the worst busse I've stripped. The checks in the hole grind I expected, not to much student from a tglb. It's the sweep of the blade where the grind changes that is rough. The more I sand the more it looks like this knife wil still be considered competition finish, argh. I'm fitting this project in between so much other work. There will be a dedicated thread for the argonne just as soon as I can

 

[rcb2000]

Thanks for the updates brother,,, looking great. You're definitely getting quite the bruiser collection

 

[breavis5694]

Even closer, it will be finished tomorrow

 

[trukreltrog]

Lookin good,,,

 

[breavis5694]

DONE, thread coming today, thanks for the interest. It would have taken no time if the light brigade treatment wasn't there or it wasn't so rough

 

[rcb2000]

Morning, looks great! How do you like the knuckle mod?

 

[breavis5694]

It's perfect, the feel is unlike any other knife. It's the security of a lanyard and the grips are thicker and fill my palm better. I don't really understand the thin grips with wide spaced knuckles. It's like you need a huge hand with Lil sausage fingers for it to fit without modifying it. This knife is the best

1/8" to the start of the nuclear meltdown radius

thank you for your answering .

what i want to know is that the thickness of WEB , not flange thickness.

i have been wanting to buy a TGLB few times so bad , but i do not know the LB treament leaves how much steel at the tang , so i just curious in the thickness of web on LBed tang.
thanks

If Jerry makes it you can't break it, don't worry about it....

If I had to guess I would say 3 or 4mm. The point is to remove waste not structure and support. If it were skeletonized it would reverberate like a tuning fork.

This thread is making me want one. These are beautiful.

You can still order these, yea..?

{clicks over to Busse website}

 

[breavis5694]

Still available last time I checked

 

[Icky Thump]

(Not to keep taking away from the DSSF..)

Yes, the AA's are still up.

Man, I really should get down on one of these. The grinds are so nice.


Nice work on your AA, Breavis.

 

[breavis5694]

Thanks, I really love it.
