Great job, John. Very nice filework.
Got to get a couple of these kits.

Very nice John. I'm glad to see you've found a most satisfactory winter hobby mate.
I'd rather have a Bottle-in-Front-of-me, than a Frontal-Lobotomy!

Hello Razor,
I picked up mine from Tanto. They are available stateside too. Go for it. I'll be waiting to see how yours comes out. Have you done a lot of mangling? If not, check out Roger's tutorials; they got me started and now I can't stop.
Thank you, Razor, for taking a look and for writing,
John

Hello Mr. Krab-E,
How's the weather down under? You have had your share of extreme heat and I've had my share of extreme cold. This weekend it should be warmer high temps in the upper 30's and 40's
I do spend more time in the workshop in the winter, but I'm year round mangler.
Thank you, Dave, for checking out my knife and for your comment,
John

Hi John....Thanks. I'll check it out for sure. David is a great person to deal with.
Have not done much mangling. My last project was a Mikov in dark horn with filework, which I completed over a year ago.

Today, Feb. 5, we had a major snow storm. 12" or 30cm it was 32 degree F or 0 C which made the snow kind of wet and heavy. I can't wait for this winter to end. We're expecting it to get colder and a chance of more snow on Sunday.Krab-E wrote:G'day Buddy,john wrote:Hello Mr. Krab-E,

Re: Customized AKC Italian 6" LeverLock w/Blonde Honey Scale
I just started a Mikov with Ram scales. I hope to have it done soon. I'm making bottom bolsters. The ram is a bit short. Those Mikovs are way underrated; they're awesome knives. BTW about a year ago is did one with factory file work too.Razor_54 wrote:Hi John....Thanks. I'll check it out for sure. David is a great person to deal with.
