The situation is well in hand dogs...THANKS to all who lent an ear and advice...

Well seems as Jeremy Horton has a boomin' business and has given up mods of other makers blades...good luck which yo' bidness mang'...nice stuph...

ANYWAY that leaves me hangin'

So can anybody tell me who else does mods (like the following thread) on the FFBM?

(email addresses or web site addresses are VERY helpful)

THANKS!

Tom Krein and Bill Siegle come to mind.

You can strip it yourself and put a convex edge on it. It will look like this:



That's not a big job, if you can live with the rough steel in the unground areas of the blade, ricasso, and pommel. It's a lot less work than doing a full convex grind on the blade.

...thanks - but I am looking for the full convex job, and it's well beyond my meager skills...

The pic in your link was not a full convex job.

Hey there Horn Dog,
That second black handled FBM, has that blade been refinished?
It sort of looks blued or something to me.
Or maybe just the standard Busse undercoat?
The ground portion of the blade looks different (glossier for one) than the ricasso and butt - almost like the blade is blued and the ricasso and butt are Busse undercoated or parkerized.
Or is that an optical illusion?

It is just left stripped and rough except for the blade. The fully convexed blade is shiny satin finished.

...then I'll have one of those, please... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

you up for the job H'Dog?

Will is he not going to do the mods he had in hand?

that's correct - I understand., I guess... he's gettin' very popular, and there's more $$ in the new blades....

I can understand both sides. Some makers dont feel their knives need "improving".

If you don't mind leaving the ricasso and pommel in the rough. I don't have the tools for removing and reattaching the scales, so I can't sand the tang area flat and smooth. I am not in Jeremy's league. Have you tried Ban?
