How does it feel in-hand when using the clip blade, as shown in your picture? Looks to me like the hawkbill's spine might dig into (hand) material as well...?

Surprisingly it is very comfortable while using the clip. When I first bought it, I carved with the clip and I had no hotspots.
 
DeadFall, If you can find one anywhere then go ahead and get two, ill pay ya back. I have been looking for awhile. I think these where a dealer exclusive that is all dried up :(
 
Thanks Stitch, I have been trying to put a kit like that together for awhile now. Those straws are an awsome idea, thanks for the pointers and quick pic.

I have three different tins, one based of the S.A.S tin for camping and long hikes, one for snowshoeing, and this smalls everyday tin. I find the smalls tin is practical and it comes in handy, I find the regular altoids tin is a bit bulky day to day.
 
In the appropriate place, I would like to take a look at those other ones. If you start a thread please let me know.

I second this motion. I have been wanting to do this for far too long; it is time to get my butt busy:)

I'll let you know if I come across anything, it has been toying with me for some time now. I feel your pain



I have so many knives on my radar now though from this forum that I can't even make a decision on what to do next...I had a cool idea to take an old carbon steel stockman with a punch and have it re-scaled with carbon fiber/blue G-10 with a shield like the Case Norfolk a while back, I just haven't gotten to that yet either! Why? It's a metaphor of the blending of tradition and modernization, changing times and a transition into the 'modern age'; very poetic IMO.

Now, I just need to save so I can have knife monies to do it :D
 
Staying on topic, I have these two on me. I have been trying to fix up this old girl since I've had her. I almost am able to open the small pen without destroying my nails and I am reprofiling the tip on the master blade so it rides below the liners. I can't wait until she is done!!

I feel your pain Deadfall, I have way to many ideas and not enough time/money. I also just found those little altoids cases that people are making led lights in them......I think we need a thread somewhere, hmmm....here

Story of my life so far! As for the Altoids tins, that is freaking cool! We need a thread like this for sure; please let me know if one starts up!

I found one about altoids survival kits, but I am not sure if what we have been talking about here would either go in that thread or a completely new one...
 
Hey Corso, it's one of John LLoyd's creations.
4'' closed, 52100 steel for the blade.

Great snap, awesome half stops, beautiful swedge.
