Yes. Do you want them buffed or not buffed?

 

[Jo the Machinist]

Jo if you don’t already have someone who wants the double black canvas, I’ll take those!

Do you want them buffed or not buffed?

 

[yoko]

Yes. Do you want them buffed or not buffed?

Buffed please!

 

[Redclay]

I’ll do unbuffed and if you have some extra hardware, I’ll take a set of plain Ti Torx for a DEK1 and a DEK2.

Thanks Jo!

Morning Jo

Will there be edged antique, or black/brown lam micarta available for next Chopper drop?

Thx...

We will probably not have ECAM. We should have Vintage, and black, and brown. We should have ECAM eventually, but it will first go to the pre-orders.

Thanks,
Jo

I'm not a collector, but just had to ask after viewing the ECAM thread

Hoping to score a chopper (SC) here in a few weeks..

..and if not, my theory has always been there's nothing I can't live without;-)

Hi Jo,
Do you have some sort of a chart which outlines knives that have interchangeable scales; I.e., what scales can be used on more than one knife? A -BIG- thanks!

Hi Larry!

Sorry for the delay. I do not have a chart, but I will try my best to remember.

The 10" and 12" Chopper scales are the same except for the Heavy Chopper. (I think)

The EDC scales are interchangeable, but the EDC1 and EDC2 and their scales were slightly different thicknesses, so this could make your sheath tight or loose, depending on the combination.

The DEK scales are all interchangeable.

The Original Field Knife has its own scales and are not interchangeable with anything else.

The Field Knife 2 can be interchanged with the Signature Field Knife (FK3), Basic Field Knife and Fat Bastard Field Knife. *Note, the FK2 has the lanyard hole cutout, the others do not, but they do fit.

The Shivs (1 and 2) and the Utility Fighters (1 and 2) all have their own scales.

The Kephart, Comp Chopper, K18 and K20 all have obviously different scales.

The HDFK and SDFK also have unique scales. Please let me know if I left something out.

*ALSO* With many of these, even though the scales are the same, they may need different hardware (standoff lengths),

Jo I miss your update newsletters!

Yes, I plan to. Just trying to get a better feeling for what's going to be happening before I spread the news.

JO,
Thanks very much! We need to get this recorded! ALSO, do HDFK scales fit the Medium Chopper/others?? I heard that HDFK scales fit Medium Chopper, but unconfirmed. Larry

 

[Jo the Machinist]

No

 

[osprey888]

No

Thank you! THANK YOU!!

You might’ve gotten the HDMC and HDFK confused.

There is/was a Heavy Duty (thicker version) of the original Medium Chopper. The scales are interchangeable between them.

We did a prototype of a heavy chopper in the scales were different.

 

[Jo the Machinist]

I'm told the HDFK and SDFK scales do work on each other. I guess I've never tried that.

 

[SharpBits]

We need NinJO signature addition scales!

"We need NinJO signature addition scales!"


And signature edition too

No one said there'd be math
