Would it be sacrilegious to remove the scales and make a necker?

Search @adamlau in here. He posted a photo of this minimization and I believe that he did attempt to EDC it as a necker.

You're the one using it. I say do whatever makes it work best for you.

^^^ Lorien has done this and done a paracord wrap, I believe.

I love the handles, but was debating taking the scales off my second one and making it a thin/lightweight backup knife to throw in my pack.

It weighs like 4oz now I think

 

[Hard Knocks]

Skrapmetal, I think that's one of the things Lorien designed it for. I mean so that it has some holes in the tang to wrap it.

No? That was part of Lorien's evil plan...

Nice. I think I might be keeping this D2 EDC with the damaged scales after all, then.

What damage has been done to them?

What damage has been done to them?

There's a little dent on the pommel end by the lanyard hole. Doesn't affect anything functional but I debated replacing them, then wondered about leaving the scales off and using it as a little backup detail carver/skinner when I wanna just carry my LC.

 

[NJBillK]

Ahh, if it is close enough to the outer edge and not up against the lanyard hole, you can sand off the offending material.

This also might make it a bit more comfortable as a carry option since the butt of the handle won't have the near 80° from slab sides to butt end. But you will need a lanyard/fob to aid in retrieval from the sheath.

Mind posting a pic?
What color handles do you have, maybe we can work something out.

Just got my EDC shipping notification!

Just got my EDC shipping notification!

Mine landed yesterday, and I already:
- Rolled the edge by dinging a piece of ceramic...
- Used a different piece of ceramic to straighten it back out.
- Had the handles off to look at the hardware for fitment of slabs and to get a feel for it ad a skeletonized version.
- Now putting a fob on it to aid in drawing it from the sheath.

This knife hasn't had a break yet, and I don't forsee one coming any time soon.

Thanks for the quality work Nathan the Machinist , @Jo the Machinist , Lorien and Mark!
Sorry Mark, don't have your user name readily available.

Did you achieve a pointed tip again by filing (using ceramic) from the top, the edge or both?

Thankfully it wasn't dropped, just my being clumsy and hit the belly on a ceramic casserole dish while prepping some vegetables for dinner...

one of the original concepts that came up when designing the EDC was to incorporate it, sans scales, into a package including the LC. Something along the line of a piggy back sheath system where the EDC sheath was modular and could be carried via neck tether

Edc, campfire and beer. It was a good day in the smokies.
