So, I sent a truck load of steel to Ban awhile back, and as some of you know he had some stuff he needed to focus on for awhile.

Well, it was well worth the wait, I unfortunately was not able to afford having him do all the mods I initially wanted, some knives will have to go to him in the near future though. My RW and SAR-5 will be next methinks

Sorry for the crummy pics, they do not show these blades anything near what they really are, here ya go:

I cannot say enough about Ban's work! It is superb! I'll work on getting action shots for you all soon
 
They look real scary sharp ,,,,,,,,, very nice indeed :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
I am confused, did ban turn that FBMLE into a "straight handle"? Because that is awesome!
I have a FBMLE with a top swedge, smoothed handle scales, and I am hand convexing the edge, so far be it from me to accuse anyone of blasphemy!.

Buy what really intrigues me is a banned Nick XXL (assuming it is a nick XXL). A banned thin nick also intrigues me. I really really want to get my hands on a nick. I wish I had been able to snag one originally (or like 10 or so of each!). They are to me a grail knife, because is an awesome nuclear tough knife that you have a use for every day!.

All in all, great post, and great pics.
 
Clearly Ban does amazing work. :thumbup:

I'm thinking I might see if I can get him to convex my loot from CupidGanzaa.
 
My banned frosty CG NMFBM is on the way. I can't wait to get it.

Ban is indeed the man.
 
hey guys, I was wondering how I can get of hold of ¨Ban¨ to do some sharpening on some knives.

I made fuzzies with htese knives fine enough to ignite with no other tinder, a strike from a ferro rod and I hade a blaze going in about 2 minutes!

these knives are amazing

I have seen plenty of pics of people chopping down decent sized trees with them. Uncle J for example was always posting pics of beating his.

again, I need one!
 
Yeah I know how you feel, however it would take alot to get me to sell this one off, it feels reaaalllly good, I love the faux choil it has, and it's oh so blade heavy
