Alright, I'll bite...seen it a lot, what does the 'light switch' do? Lock?

 

[supratentorial]

It is a lock for the main blade. It's not the most elegant mechanism but it works. The switch pushes a lock bar forward through a hole in the liner. It's a nice knife and takes a great edge.

They seemed to have borrowed part of the design of a slide switch.

I've slowly warmed up to the GEC acrylics. I've also got a few old Case knives in CV and yellow synthetic, but they don't do as much for me as the funky and unique acrylics of GEC. That said, I still prefer bone or wood scales.

I like your shot of this! :thumbup:

Been waiting delivery of a White Owl in the Kryptonite, a dealer I've not used before and he's taking his time over it...:grumpy::grumpy:

GEC acrylics can be outstanding, check their Tortoise

Thanks Jake!

Here are two GECs I had rehandled and the shield repinned.

Trand, those look great!

 

[Railsplitter]

Those look great, Trand! The denim look of the Scout is very cool. I'm guessing it's Canvas Micarta. Is there a name for that shade of blue? Awesome!

 

[2Dead]

Thanks guys. The scout is blue denim micarta and I was told it was "standard denim blue". The #53 is green canvas. They are both polished but the denim is noticeably grippier than the canvas. The scout also swells out from the bolster to the cap end.

I am back again with my Frontiers. Here are all the scales offered on the Frontiers. Stag, Ivory, Yellow, Black and Hardwood.

Trand, thank you. I always loved canvas/textured micarta, I've seen some awesome green's and orange's...but this one probably beats them all. I don't know who made it for you, but whoever that might be, he did an amazing job.

Thank you Fausto!!

 

[quattromori]

You are welcome. You know, if I had to ask for a custom made knife in a "relatively large" pattern, I guess I would send the maker my favourite jeans and ask him to make a matching denim micarta
This is what this subforum is about...spreading addiction

[2Dead]

They could match it if you had a second pair for them to make the micarta out of I'm pretty sure that's how denim micarta is made. There's a couple of videos on the internet showing people make their own micarta out of jeans if you're interested in the process.

I thought that's how they made it too...I'll find some old jeans with a good dark worn color.
Unfortunately, my denim micarta custom (or customized) knife will have to wait...but I do stare at yours in the meanwhile
