What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[David Mary]

I only staged that first pic. I grind with two hands on the blade at all times. Freehand by eye is the way to go for me. I never learned any other way.

Maybe one of these days when I can afford it I'll pay for a premium video hosting service and increase my data plan so I can post shop videos in this thread.

Progressed through the grits up to medium scotchbrite satin which is where I'll assemble the handles.

I love my shop vac. I reward it with fresh mosquitos aplenty.

Quick break while I decide stay or go

Left hand jealous.



Get a kettlebell guys it's so worth it.

Okay the skeeters are being bugs tonight. Last night was cool so they buzzed off and let me work til 4 am. Not this time.

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.

Looks like you have a Black Widow in the shop!

Been crazy busy the last couple days, looks like I've missed a lot. Well done.

I like the retention feature. When making sheaths on blades with few retention options I'd make a small indentation with a pencil eraser. It's a great option

 

[David Mary]

I wish I had thought of it for yours

No worries, I have enough kydex stuff laying around I could go back into business. If I don't like it I'll adjust it or replace it. Besides the pictures I saw the blade looks perfect as is.

Now that he's seen it, you are allowed to as well.

Zebrawood scales with G10 double liners and spacers, and a central Suretouch spacer, with my first hybrid fob consisting of two colored cords melted together. Why am I suddenly thirsty for Five Alive?

 

[David Mary]

Almost done.
