Came here to look at some knives, now I canāt stop thinking about how good Pilsner Urquell is. Been many years since Iāve enjoyed one (many) of those. Canāt get it where I live now.
Iām lucky because itās quite abundant and inexpensive here. There are also a couple of places where you can find it on tap. Canāt you find anything similar in the American pilsner type craft beer offerings?
The Millie is a framelock. It actually has a SS insert for the ball detent which also functions as an overtravel stop that I thought was a nice touch. Itās an exclusive model only sold by knifeworks.com. When I saw it was down to only $199 I had to jump on it.
Yeah, itās easy to get pens for Parker refills but difficult for those lame old style thin refills
I thought there must be adaptors for that but I couldnāt find one
And on that Fura blade I used a belt grinder on job with a maybe 20cm wheel, I can measure it later
I have no work rest thatās why I couldnāt make a straight hollow grind with a flat ground tip
The finest belt I have is 80 grit but after a good polish itās not rough anymore (even though Iād prefer something like 200 at least)
I guess Iāll stonewash it later, I just must resist to grind it again to reduce some of the mistakes I made
From my I learned job that the trick is to stop when you canāt make it any better instead of continuing to make it worse
Now the blade swings much better than when it was a folding prybar
- adjustable/removable thumb studs (legal carry for example in Germany),
deep carry pocket clip.
Iām not a big fan of the bead blasted finish on the blade so sooner or later Iāll give it a satin or a stone washed finish. I would prefer full G10 handle scales because in my opinion the exposed liners at the end of the handle are only design elements.
