Yep, It's a looker.
I had a feeling you'd like that Halfwhitt JJ!
Nothing wrong with that one, Craig.
No problemo Ron! And thanks!
Personal favorite? Yes (I'm thinking about it)
Are they all users? No, Just my Conductor so far - The Conductor I'm carrying is not in the picture.......I have EDC-OCD.
Ron said; Thanks, mate! They are all so purdy! Do you have a personal favorite? And of course I have to ask; are they all users?
Thanks for sharing that, Clint!
I did it twice on a Wenger alox Standard Issue Soldier knife. The second time was the charm -- It looked like a shark took a bite out of the edge! I had to completely re-shape and re-profile the blade using my diamond Sharpmaker rods. I had to remove a whole lot of steel before that mistake was corrected. That's not the only thing that got removed, though -- I also removed the bail from that knife! I wasn't about to chance ruining that edge again.
I like your idea of hanging a lanyard from the bail to serve as a reminder. I may have to do that if I ever get myself another knife with a bail. Thanks for that tip, Clint!
I did snap my blade on the bail one time but it didn't harm the blade or the bail. It was my Imperial Boy Scout knife with the bone handles. I was 9 years old at the time. Even though the blade and bail were not harmed it made an impression on me so I tied a leather thong on the bail which hung down about four inches. This was the reminder I needed to keep the dang bail our of the way.
