Custom request for a design that doesn’t quite exist. But it was easily accommodated by modifying a K-Slick mini blank. Soon we can welcome this Fat Badger Scout.

Probably clueless question, but are you doing the file work after or before heat treat?

Diamond eats everything

Let’s pretend I’m justified calling it a day here.
