Scrap It's

[FGYT]

Been using some of the scrap ends of O1 ive kept from other knives to make some Free hand 2 and 3 finger sketeton necker/ pack blades.

Also uses little bits of Kydex offcuts that are to small for anything else

I could have used the cheaper small rivets but stuck to the 1/4" ones at 1.5" centers so it can be fitted to std spaced kit like Teklocs and belt loops etc

All blades are or will be Flandi ground giving a nice sharp slicy but solid feel

any body have an opinion on these type of blades

the 3 made up are 4mm the rest are a mix of 3mm 4mm and 3/16" (4.75mm)

Really like those mate, particularly the larger holes at the tail end!
Look like a nice little backup knife
Thinking of selling a few or trading for anything else?

Lol that coat looks plain scary

I really like the top one on the right hand side mate!

I likem too!, I think they would start off as a "I think i'l just put here(roundneck,pack,belt) as a back up" then before you realise it'll be your everything that doesent require large force knife.

I like them, there's a trend for similar knives being specially made for survival kits. My favourite would be the rightmost one

Size ranges from 2-3" blade and 2.5 to 3" ish handles the big holes are 16mm and all the new ones where goingto get that but a combo of cheap drill and cheap underpowered drill press makes it tomuch hard work so the rest have 10mm holes

Just what shape the grinder made the odd shaped offcuts

no cant make the Moot to busy and a 10% cut on sales is a bit steep for the drive

Will be at the Gathering

Cheers mate By the way, these look really, reaaly good. The Teklok idea is spot on. Great idea and I'm sure a ready market

It always amuses me what people refer to as 'scrap bits of metal' I don't think I've ever thought of a 5" of steel as an off cut!

To me a scrap end of bar is about an inch, even then I can normally find a project that can use it (and not just my silly miniatures before anyone mentions them )

thses wernt just the last few inchs of a bar most bits are odd shapes as i use slightly wider than usual stock and rotatethe patterns i cut to give the biggest bit of scrap even with diagonal cuts etc
so an odd collection of triangles n rhomboids etc

ive kept all the little bits for you dave to wack into a Bit Bin Mascus
