Umnumzaan pics

[Thin-Slice]

Scotch brite with a bit more attention on the corners. Gives it a very nice contrast.

You mean this one?

Indeeeeeeeeed.

I have on as well but gotta dig up my pics from cloud

 

[DRLyman]

Just got this one back from CRK. I really missed this one while it was gone. Glad to finally have it in my hands again.

@halden.doerge MIRROR POLISH CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. Did a little digging and found it.

Norvox,

Would you concider sharing the process of how you created this finish? It's fantastic. I have considered modifying a New Pivot Zaan, and this look has now been added to the possibilities.

Sand paper 2000 and some free time

Minty fresh not long after I got it:

After some EDC and time in my range bag:

After a 320 grit brushed finish:

The finish above looks great, but too blingy for my liking. The scales are now OD Green Cerakoted. Perfect!

I recieved my Norvox kit and an extra set of o rings from CRK on Saturday.

I wonder how that WC Zaan would look with the finish Norvox did on his. Probably epic

 

[HOKIE_FAN]

Man I just know it would be awesome...but I read where CRK refused to reblast a knife due to a scotchbrite "refinish". I dont want to lose the option to send it in down the road.

I was cutting grass this afternoon and found this lil guy in a hole in the yard. Who knew bunnies were CRK fans?

Here's my little happy family.

Wow..great foursome!

 

[TRfromMT]

Here is mine....
Glamor shot, then a couple after I polished the scales with 1000 grit wet/dry paper. I decided I didn't care if CRK wouldn't re-blast it.

I have fallen hard for the Umnum, and its only day 1.5!
Found this used on the exchange for a reasonable price and then I noticed it had my 2nd son's bday, so I snatched it up.

I didn't think things got better than the bg-42 regs and a gentleman's mnandi. I thought I had all my bases covered. How naive? I forgot about a base called "play, intimidating, swedge land, grippie, etc"... Remembering a thread from a while ago about 3 knives (grail knife, knife your looking for, and affordable knife) and I remember I posted something about if I could find a good deal on one, I would try an umnum. This thing has all the things I like about the 25 and inkosi wrapped up with cross hatch, quiet ending thump, and did I mention the swedge.

Don't get me wrong, I am not into getting rid of knives so the rest of the collection is all staying put. I just love using them all, and this one certainly has a spot in my rotation.

The best part? I am loving the new thumb pain that comes with buying a different style. Stupid I know. The enjoyable (for me) pain will go away. But for me, it reminds my of my first CRK!
