Re: Jeff's MaxiMikov
I just got this beauty from the post office today and it is a stunner in person! Thanks Bill! It has a great feel to it. It's nice and heavy with the brass lining and n's bolsters. I wish my camera would do this knife justice, but these are the best photos I could get today. I put my other favorite Bill D. Hubertus custom next to it for a size comparison. I sure feel lucky to have this.

Re: Jeff's MaxiMikov
I just HAVE to ask - did you size the pullers from actual shells, or from the specs in a reloading manual

Re: Jeff's MaxiMikov
Bill can answer it better Al, but while you're waiting; I did send him photos with 08 and 10 guage shell blanks next to a ruler for measurement. Also the rim sizes in mm. I don't know if they were of use to him or not.Vagrant wrote:I just HAVE to ask - did you size the pullers from actual shells, or from the specs in a reloading manual

Re: Jeff's MaxiMikov
My OTHER question was, WHO has both a 10 AND an eight guage
I'd like a mini one in .410 and 28 guage but I only have 1/2 of that

Re: Jeff's MaxiMikov
I used measurements that Jeff sent, and off the web, plus I just "guesstimated." I didn't have either shell here.

Re: Jeff's MaxiMikov
The Mikov is simply bad-ass Jeff. Bill did a fabulous job but it was a very creative concept on your part.
Now slow down Mister and give some of us a chance to get something new
Keeping my eye on you and that Chad fella

Well you guys are safe for now to get as many as you like without my interferance. BTW I forgot to mention that this knife whispers open just as smooth as silk and locks up very solid. there is no blade play movement in any direction whatsoever, very solid!

Re: Jeff's MaxiMikov
Perfect and beautiful, I like it.
It just fits well together. Mikov should absorb the idea.
That's even a switch blade that you can take to hunt with.
I come from the astonished not get out.

Re: Jeff's MaxiMikov
Sweet!! I love the blue liner, filing and jigged bone combo. Gives it an Earthy, "Hand me Down", Heirloom quality look! Very soothing to the eye....
