Hey dogs, during my run I was describing the mods that I have made to my 411, so now I'm getting around to posting the pics. I enlarged the choil with a dremel after giving myself a small cut. I went large enough that I won't cut my gloves if I use the choil.






Without gloves it leaves a slight gap, but I think its perfet.


Then I decided to strip it. I left a little coating near the handle to prevent any rust from forming at the joint. It's just a user so who cares how it looks. I found that removing the coating made for a much thinner blade profile, which is fine by me.

I've done some polishing to the sides of the blade, but its an ongoing project. I'd like to eventually get off all the machining marks.
