EV with modified blade
Took quite a bit off the blade (with my Dremel!) Found great-looking piece of Cocobolo (and some other beautiful woods as you can see) Cut out for liner lock as well as a groove for easy access to thumbstud These are great knives, great size, great action, really good "heft" Hope you guys like what I did.... Dennis For a change I'm having trouble with my photo-It's either an issue with Netscape or Macintosh...sorry. a0.cpimg.com/image/7E/46/...8017A-.jpg another view (trying to show off this blade's finish) [a0.cpimg.com/image/90/25/...8017A-.jpg] |

Re: modified EV
####, Dennis!! What a great knife. I really love your choice of wood, and you did a super job matching the scales and giving the scallop for the thumbstud. I'm going to steal some ideas from you!!!!! That's a great blade shape, and it must have taken a while with only a Dremel! You done good!!! That's a pretty glossy finish you have on your blade, too. Lot's of work is being shown. Thanks for the post! Just as I was going to post a note asking for EV4N's I get two in a week!!! Dennis, you are HOOKED!!! I'm getting revved up for my next one! Coop (.....and your daughter's knife is upcoming, I hope??!!) |

Re: modified EV
Coop- Thanks for the kind words. I worked my butt off on grinding it down into the shape I had in mind, but redesigning that blade was easily the most satisfying aspect of working these kits since I started. No photo can tell how great this knife looks and feels to me in person. I'm friendly with the guys at three of the many regional Cheasapeake Knife & Tool stores (yeah we're well represented with knives around here in the Baltimore/DC area). They've been impressed with my earlier kits but Blown Away by this one. Just wait'll they see the kits coming in June!!! Re: My daughter's knife- what can I say, she's a busy teenager..."Daddy it's coming, it's coming" (it really is almost done and so far she's doing a great job). Dennis |
