Before I enter into a conversation about modifying the Scrapivore, I'd still like to see some pics of the unmodified Scrapivore in action. The Scrapivore handle is only 3-3/4" long. That isn't quite long enough to pass completely through the palm of my medium-sized hand. So I'd specifically like to see what effect the mini-prybar pommel has on the hand when the Scrapivore is used as a knife and what effect the blade has on the hand when the Scrapivore is used as a mini-prybar. Thanks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I think that the corners of the pry bar are rounded enough that it should feel fine. However it could be dicey when using the pry bar and holding the spine.! I visualize one with stripped para cord in a stider wrap and covered in heat shrink and another left as is for low profile carry.
WOW. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> Thanks, Hooker. I was wondering if anyone was going to respond.
As you said, the pommel does appear to have slightly rounded corners. But the back of the pommel is fairly wide and squared off to permit prying. I don't believe I've ever seen another neck knife that incorporates that kind of handle design. How it will feel in the hand remains to be seen. And if I'm a righty (which I am), I don't see how I'd be able to use the prybar without my hand coming into direct contact with the blade. I suppose I could sheath it to prevent that from happening.
Maybe I'm missing something. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Anyway, I'm hopeful that pics of the knife in hand will clear up my concerns. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />
I have been thinking about this and a kydex sheath will be needed in my opinion.
