Shortened, lightened, and Wharncliffed a 93mm Rescue Blue. Also put on a spare black clip - I want the nice, shiny one for something else. This is going to work...

Nice jazz I like it,

Travis better picture stat! Looks like you did a fine job tho.

@xptnl, yeah you loose the texture, im sure you could rough it up a bit, but I smoothed mine out. It has similar feel to smooth cf. I have been toying with the idea of some dimples ala Kevin Wilkins, but the way the para fits the hand grip hasint been an issue yet.

WharnCaly CE

#931

Post by Douglas »

In its original SE configuration I found the serrations on my Caly 3 to be untenably long and pointy, I presume due to the steep grind angle of the FFG blade as compared to the much less pronounced teeth on my CE saber-ground Delica. After damaging the tips of several of the serrations under fairly ordinary use I'd more or less given up on carrying this knife, but looking at it one day I put a straightedge alongside the blade from the first group of serrations to the tip and got it into my head to try something:

Image

It's pretty much my ideal work edc now. A couple serration tips in close to the handle to assist in cutting through the outer jacket of multi-conductor cable without nicking the inner jackets, and a mean anti-packaging blade out front, all in my all-time favourite ergonomic package.

Its not quite that simple as the fixings pass through the scales etc but thats minor trivia.

Im sooo happy with how it came out, Im a sucker for natural g10. I love the translucence and the way it looks against the steel.

Ah if only it glowed in the dark !
Absolutely ultra mega freaking awesome!

Nicely done, w3tnz. I agree; that would be a super-cool Sprint Run idea. :)

Wow thanks for the positive feedback, didin't think there would be so much love for natural g10.

A sprint would be awesome! Hopefully someone at :spyder: co is paying attention :)

Technically this is my first post, but I used to be on here as BushBadger. It's been a long time and a move from Philly to Florida and I just couldn't remember my original log in, doh! Anyhoo here's my latest mod PPT with lime green holy G10 Batman!
