to modify or not to modify--*update* with pics--

[Aias]

I think so too, Antdog. Yeah Resinguy, I'm a little worried about that--on the phone, Lexi mentioned in passing that it would be possible, but then in an email she seemed less sure. Fingers crossed.

saw two at the last creek that were ground like ka-bars with the clip point and deep blood grooves. Looked good

:thumbup: That's the idea! I really can't wait.

So--Update time...

Lexi, Garth, and the Busse crew ROCK! My TGLB has been modified and will be headed back to me very soon. Knowing that I was due to hit the road, they pushed the work through... despite the madness of pre-Blade preparation!

Thanks so much--you all are the best.

In other news, I have a custom shop variant of a Game Warden coming to me (purchased off that auction site)... now for a sheath! I'm thinking a black leather belt sheath, hanging low off the belt. Any thoughts? Inquiries in to Skystorm already; any alternative recommendations welcomed.

I'm partial to Dwayne at Armoralleather. He doesn't toot his own horn here on this forum, but has his own:

Thanks man--I've seen his work, and it is great.

Have'em mod it and buy another regular one this way you'll have both versions !

It's already pretty wild looking--it's got a choil, and the first third (or so) of the spine has been ground into a swedge. The handle is grey & black g-10 and it has a black coating... which I will most likely strip. I like my infi naked. The choil doe take away from the cutting edge, but I use traditionals with the same amount of edge all the time. I forsee it being a killer everyday user for just about any task typically relegated to a folder.

Same here... Just got my first Armoralleather sheath. Very hsppy with it! Won't knock anyone else's work but Dwayne did great by me:thumbup:

 

[Aias]

I just shot him an email. Thanks for the recommendation.

 

[Aias]

OK--so here is the new one off eBay; it looks and feels right--does it look authentic to you good folks?

 

[AntDog]

Looks legit to me man. Nice score brother! :thumbup:

 

[Aias]

Thanks Dog! It's a mean little bugger. Looking forward to getting it dirty

 

[Father & Son Traditional Sharpening]

Obviously a fake, please send to me for disposal.....

Very cool, looks like you've got a nice Custom Shop Game Warden variant there..... :thumbup:

 

[Aias]

Thanks man--I put it to use today, feathersticks, kindling, and a little fire pit bbq with my little boy. Just some hotdogs, but he had a blast, and the Game Warden performed very, very well. It's got a serious hollow ground and so quite good at slicing.

So, all paid up and waiting to get the e-mail that my modified TGLB is headed back to me. In the mean time, I picked up that Game Warden (pics above)... and I've put it to use, everywhere... kitchen, BBQ, fire pit, yard, etc... it handled everything, including being pounded through some branches to make kindling... but, of course it would!

Here are a couple of pics for the fun of it:
