As some of you know I sent a few Busse-Kin blades off to Nate a little while ago for some sharpening and a little customizing. Well, they came back last weekend and I finally got around to taking some pics. (Sorry for the pic quality, it's raining outside and I had to shoot the pictures on my porch.....they definately do not do Nate's work justice!)

Let me tell ya, Nate can sharpen a knife!!!!!


Here's a Scrapper 5 he stripped, polished and rounded the choil out for me...

A Swamp Warden he convexed and rounded the edges on...

And the BIG project...My SARsquatch Modification!!! I asked him to convex the edge, round off the top edge of the corner on the tang and re-shape the spine (I sent him the knife with the areas to be removed marked with white-out). HE DID AWESOME!!!! I asked him not to polish the blade, since I wanted to keep the "heartbeat" lines and the matte finish on the blade, but I polished the spine and choil area after it came home. Here's (in my opinion) the best looking Sarsquatch out there...

If you need a knife modded or sharpened, Have no concerns if you send it off to NorCalBlacktail!!!


THANKS NATE!!!! Great Job Brother!!!

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if you don't take it out and use it, it's going to rust.

Nice pics Stump. I am glad you like them. I need to pick up a Swamp Warden after holding yours.

Agree - that Swamp Warden really looks great (as does all the other work).
