Another cracker Duncan - the CF really suit your distintictive style. The kydex looks dam fine too.

Messy to work?

 

[British Red]

I like that with the mini tek lok look - make a perfect utility knife

I'm not buying any more knives...but if I was.....

 

[Paganwolf]

Oks Finally got what i wanted from these Neck systems a intergral torch

this one is the Fenix LD01 85 Lumins on a single AAA

plus a Fire steel this one is 8mm x 100mm

all the layers are removable etc and could be neck carried seperatly or the Fire steel bolted to the torch etc

The Torch is held by its Hex mid section so its easy to turn on and off in the sheaht as a neck light

i like to carry this under arm

and hte Torch unit swivels so can be used as a fwd pointing light (needs testing )
would also do this if belt mounted on the Tekloc

finall ya ceaper version but still a great 28 lumin personnel light the 30p Deal extreme key fob light

Nice, looking good, although I would dislike the move in centre of balence. But that is a pretty damn awesome knife

 

[Retired Member southey]

Thats a great looking piece there,great to look at and i bet a plesure to use, really attractive angles.

I had a look at this today, the whole package is superbly made and the fit and finish on the knife and sheath were absolutely flawless. You do produce some very well made knives Duncan. (I dont like the glow in the dark stuff)
