Almost done.



Sheathes are shaped and cleaned up and just await being sprayed out.



Cleaned up the 8670 tool to hold them open with. It was a bit rusty and dusty which would have defeated the purpose.



And I like how it looks after being cleaned up. My little piece of 8670 bullion lol

This was fun in the winter I tell ya

 

[David Mary]

Well I guess I got side tracked organizing some stuff but back on track

I thought the Canadian belt knife blank felt really good in the hand for martial purposes but the blade orientation is all wrong. So a pizza box prototype of things to come was born.

 

[David Mary]

Yep. This pic will be uploaded to the CAD program within 24 hours.

I think we all know that blade's overall length is going increase.

 

[David Mary]

File work even on .06" stock, evidently.

 

[David Mary]

Time for bed!

Aw can't I do one more?

Okay but only one.

So many options !
Us Libras could never decide.
I've taken to flipping a coin on some decisions tho, it makes life ezr.

When you think about it there are more possible knife configurations than there are possible chess games

 

[David Mary]

EDChef sheath has evolved a lot over the years always striving for the right combination of retention and blade clearance. It dawned on me last night I already found a good idea that combined with the extra channel I mold into the sheath for blade clearance will be a perfect option allowing the knife to be a comfortable and convenient high performance tool for the kitchen and out an about whether on the job, on the trail, in and out of vehicles, running, jumping, etc.

Those who partook of the limited LC200N neck knife run a couple years ago will recognize this feature.

Bocote and white G10 liners for the 15N20 Chef and EDChef XL

 

[David Mary]

I like to make 'em geometrical-like. This is 36 grit. Meaning it gets thinner from here.

 

[lmalterna]

Much thinner and you can read the newspaper through it. I like that EDChefXL.

[David Mary]

Thanks Bill!

 

[David Mary]

36 grit on the chef also.
