wow

very nice... like the way you did the thumb safety for the lever. looks much easier to get that thing into the firing position than the standard.

Thanx Benny....yeah, your thumb just slides nicely into the groove.

Great job, Mr-Edge. I also like what you did with the release and nice scales.

Can I send a Mikov away and have it return looking like that?

Thanx all for the kind words. This one was alot of fun, and even more fun to click! I'd especially like to thank Nemo for running the mikov class over at K101 which was a great source to consult. I'd also like to thank him for producing all those sweet knives that serve as inspiration to all of us amateurs.

ditto about k101 and Nemo-
one question, I am having trouble finding info about peening... can you or Mr. Nemo point me to a good source or pm me how to go about this w/ the least likely results being a permanantly closed mikov

Mr_Edge,
That is one nice job you did on that knife, and the thumb release area is fantastic. How is it to peen in that small area by the bolster? Thats where I get my splitting but I haven't tried horn yet.
Great Job!! Make sure you show us the next one

Benny...Check your PM...hope it helps

Claudster...Thanx. Those little pins don't reqire alot of pressure I found so don't go nuts on them. Peen and file most of the pressure inside the liner side. I found horn most easy and pleasant to work with (if you can get past the smell of burning hair while on the belt sander!).
