Ausgezeichnet as the Germans would say ( hope i did not mess up the spelling, i spell German mush worse than English and i also dont speak it quite as good as English )
And German class in school ( too ) i spent most of those outside of class or at the principals office, and i still got a 9 on a 13 scale ( 3-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-13 ) in it at the verbal exam as i learned it from TV before i got in in school )
Yes, Ausgezeichnet is correct, but the one who made it is never that much convinced and always finds a detail that could be made better
If the tartan micarta will work out well I must see if bronze is still the best underground for it.
Maybe a blue contrast or polished gold or even pink could look good.
Yesterday I did the dyeing, today I’m EDC-ing it but it is too heavy for everyday.
QSP Worker with carbon fiber/blue G10 laminate scales, RIT-died with “Racing Red” to turn the blue G10 into purple. I found the bright blue G10 too dominant, in purple it blends in more. And purple is my favorite colour
Is it possible to paint on Rit dye instead of dipping the scales in it? I was thinking of using frog tape, possibly cutting it into a pattern, tiger stripes or lines that get smaller as you go down the scale, just unsure if it would bleed past the tape or work at all once you dip brush in the hot mix…even a splotchy multicolor Jackson Pollock type application might be cool….er I have to many knifes that are black, one colorful wont kill me
There was never a Chill in a better steel afaik. I’d like one in Sandvik 14c28n for example, still budget but much better than 8Cr13/14MoV or D2, especially with Kershaw’s beloved bead blasting which even makes 8Cr rusty.
So no sprint run, just scales made by myself 4 1/2 years ago (as the timestamp says)
Excellent flipper on bronze washers, my slim Boker Urban Trapper would be more stable on bigger bronze washers as well.
Thank you. Well, I don’t know, especially due to the fact that the Boker UT hruns on ball bearings and would need some fitting washers to fill that gap first.
It doesn’t matter enough to me to search for bronze washers.
I’d look for them on ebay - phosphor(ous) bronze washers or at shops like usaknifemaker.com
