UK legal EDC scandi

[rapidboy]

This has been posted over on British Blades already but i thought it may be of interest to BCUK members as well.
It's made by a good friend of mine, DavidH on BB.

O1, brass and curly birch witha scandi ground blade.
The blade sticks out 65mm and the overall length is 172mm.

Beautiful! That's a classy bit of kit!

 

[Wilderbeast]

is he knocking those up for sale rapidboy?! stunning stuff!

 

[rapidboy]

I think (hope) he will make a few, i watched this one as he developed it and thought it was pretty good but when i handled the completed knife last night i was blown away.
The walk and talk is just perfect, a lot of hand made folders can be a bit gritty or hard to open or not enough tension on the back spring etc. etc. but the action on this is as good as any quality production knife.

Very tidy work


I want one too

 

[brancho]

As I said on BB that is very nice

There's a fair market out there for them for a mid-scale manufacturer.

 

[Wilderbeast]

the thing that gets me is the skandi grind, very hard to come buy and un-heard of for a legal folder genius!

Lovely to see someone making a scandy folder. Sadly much too angular in the handle for my taste but the fit and finish look great.

Is that handmade?Looks like it was made by a machine!

Just superb.Id love a play and i hope he makes a few for sale....

That's very, very nice. If a thumb-thingummy was added for one handed opening would it then be illegal?

Cheers, Michael.

What's the grind on the Fallknivens? (TK4 etc). Not legal due to the locking though I think.....

That's a Beauty !

What a sweet little knife

 

[rapidboy]

Just been to see his latest design, it's a much fuller grip and in micarta this time.

 

[British Red]

Now whilst not as "pretty" I reckon that would be much more comfortable to use. I reckon thats a winner!

 

[rapidboy]

Aye that's the idea with the fuller handle, the first design was a folder with a scandi blade - this one has more of a folding fixed blade feel to it.

That does look like it would e a much better fit in my hand, but both stunning execution of the craft!

Cheers
