Here are some of my pics. I agree with HD, this is a great knife and very comfortable. I wasnt so sure I'd like it when I ordered it. But Goodness I have fell in love with this knife and its style. It came SCREAMING sharp. I dont know who 86 is but they made sure my knife split hairs....its probably the sharpest knife I have gotten out of the box. All the grinds were even and clean. Now for the pics, it was DARN close in size to the DM's I have. But I have some other knives around it for scale and some in hand shots.

At first I thought that the flat part before the edge would be too large but I was wrong, it is the perfect size for my fingers to slide into.

In hand, comfortable in several grips.

Gonna get her out tomorrow and use her right. Make some fuzz sticks, do some carving and slicing. This could end up in the hunting bag in the fall. Now I just need a good sheath for it.


I AM MOJO CRAZZZZY!!!

Just got in from a great party next door. The widow is getting married. Free booze, boiled shrimp, roasted oysters, good fun.

Rainwalker is the man. Now my Afghan has pants worthy of its edge.

Great pics.
And wow,what an edge you put on that thing.
I remember when I first tried to do something with
154CM,took me forever on a strop,and I never really
did accomplish anything.

I'm still not 100% happy with that edge. It is shaving sharp, but I think I'll thin it out a bit more at a more acute angle. The 154CM can handle it super thin.

Love the kydex, HD. The flare at the top looks like a big plus.
I've had my eye on those Afghans.
I gotta get one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Congrats Vic, the Muk looks great. I'm finally moved into a house again and I so look forward to firing up the Harbor Freight belt sander. Need to order a few belts from Lee Valley first I think.
