If you are at all like me, avoid cocobolo! After I use it I look like Fat Bastard from Austin Powers, I swell up, my eyes swell closed, and I itch!
 
OK,I changed the wrap to orange & black & epoxied it and ground in a little penetrator tip.
It took a few tries to get the P tip good enough that I was happy with it so I ended up taking off maybe 1/8" of the tip & now it looks a bit like a simi wharnie,but that's ok,I like the look.:thumbup::)
I thought the epoxy would soak in more & is a bit thick,but it gives a good grip so I'm happy with it too.
Can't wait to get the satin LRK & put some scales on it.

Looks good, reminds me of the Busse penetrater tips. I would also like a tutorial on wrapping.

Yep,got the idea for the PT from Bussekins.

I really don't want to take the wrap off now that it is epoxied on just to show how I did it :rolleyes:,so I'll use a piece of wood or plexiglass or something.I'll have to scrounge something up at work tomorrow & get it posted for y'all.
I have a little necker from Rick Lowe that came with that style wrap & I just coppied it.

On a side note,I did have the other wrap coated in clear Plastidip & that stuff is tuff!It wasn't too hard to get off,but it was hard enough that I know it would have lasted a long time.
That stuff sticks like glue & took some of the HT scale off when I peeled it off!
It's very grippy too + it comes in colors.(just thought I'd mention it if anyone was curious. :))
 
Speaking of penetrator tip......
I just had to do it.:rolleyes:
Even after going through the quarter & with the quarter still stuck on it the tip was able to do small curlies.
I loves me some JK 01! :D

Understand, but Toyota steel would not be a challenge like good old Chevy steel (I know - probably the same stuff - it really was a reference to an old extreme use test of a JK where a fellow stabbed an old Chevy truck hood to test the knife).

Thanks and best regards -

Gotcha Andy,sad to say they probably are the same steels now-a-days.I know they are a lot thinner anyhoo.Trucks just don't have the same solid thunk when you close the hood anymore.
 
hey. does anyone know the diameter of the holes in the handle on the LRK+? i checked John's thread and i didn't see that listed. thanks.
 
I asked John and he said he could do any you like, I got 1/4 and I think that might be standard.
