Chris Reeve Knives "Scout" - well, at least that's how I named it
Basically it's a Ubejane skinner, which I modified to my liking. I cut off the "horn", re-profiled the tip a bit and also I ground the spine in the MT SOCOM style (just for aesthetics). Than I sent it to David Abramson (aka Lifter) for some fine leather. That was not so easy for him, as I asked him to implement the style of Shadow III pancake-style in this sheath. I like a sheath to keep my knife tight & close to my hip. And this one is perfect in that respect. Thanks David for great sheath man! Next step was re-coating of the knife. Chris Reeve is unfortunately not in favor to re-condition modified knives. However, as you can see, I managed to arrange bead blasting and also real kalgard coating somehow with help of my friends in US. Turned out cool! Sharpenning, edge polishing and my knife was ready for action! My own, one of a kind CRK Scout. My buddy Wysz told it looked like fixed Sebenza. Well, it does, dont you think? Anyway, after several weeks my dream come true and I have one-piece CRK blade just as I wanted it to be! The cost of sending twice to US, blasting, coating, sheathing etc. was not much less than the base knife itself, but anyway, it was money well spent. What do you think about this one?

- modular AURIGA sheath with storage module detached:
- Lifetr's Leather a'la Shadow III:
- all carry systems, including original one (a bit loose now):
- blade spine profile:
- perfect shape?
