Just fantastic Josh.

Boy Josh, that Sebenza looks sexy.

I'm digging the faux bolster

 

[REK Knives]

Thanks guys! I can't take credit for the faux bolster design - it was a friend of Sharp & Fiery who had the idea originally!

Coleman does come up with some really good ideas for a Canadian.

Not the first time I'd seen it of course, but nifty execution with the texturing I went the other way on a Boker Albatross a while back and jigged the "scales"...

Ahahahaha!!! Thanks Martin. Josh is executing ideas quite superbly, I must say.

Oh wow I really like that! Great job!

A few WIP shots from grinding in some serrations, etc. the other day...

Satin flats to 1200 grit

Serration pattern marked out as a rough guide

Ground in and all purty

Love how you make a simple blade so sexy.

Reground this scandi Enzo folder the other day, had a secondary and entire bevel looked terrible. Took it up through 400 grit and it's hair popping now!

Josh, what have you been up to lately? Wondering if your working on something better then the Microtech, those serrations were perfect!

Thanks man! Not a whole lot... getting caught up on mods and grind work so I will have time to work on these fixed blades and the kuros (liners should be coming in this week as well as the fixed blades and scales).

Worked on this the other day... A benchmade aileron that I sterilized and removed the grip marks, modded the spine, ground in a swedge and stonewashed. Here's a factory image vs what I did

Didn't take pics of the other work... but I'm working a a SNG reblade today

 

[REK Knives]

Just finished up that reblade... now to blast and DLC

Here it is before the grind while I was drilling the detent hole and grinding the lock face

I always tap the end of the track to make sure I'm just a hair offset... have to take a zoomed in pic w/ my phone to even see it because it's so close to the human eye lol

And the end product... well, prior to DLC anyway

Really nice to see obsession behavior down to this detail. Brings meaning to enough is enough. Very well done and thanks for sharing the details.

 

[REK Knives]

Another reblade up today... this time for a custom Duane Dwyer SNG, gonna nightmare grind this blade so it's gonna take a while to do the grind!

M4 at 63rc

 

[REK Knives]

Here it is trying to fit as much blade in the frame as possible... actually ended up notching the g10 above the standoff there

And starting the nightmare grind w/ the hollow'd swedge

 

[REK Knives]

All finished up! This one is for @phod330

 

[REK Knives]

Just finished out a custom front flipper I started like a year ago lol

this absolutely the perfect size for a FF, you can flip it all sorts of ways and it is so smooth - even on washers.

Nice use of your custom clip, kind of nice to see all the parts come together.
