The black and red string should have clued me in. I didn’t know BW was using that scrolled lam in the limbs now. Osage is some gorgeous stuff!

Re: Spyderco Photo of the Week Contest!
Thx Jeff! It was a pain to get on. Turns out my Tuff ( bought it from ed himself ) is one of the early pieces made. I found that one out because the huge stop pin go’s true the liner for about 2mm and hides in a dent made in the scale. The guys who made my new custom scale had a normal version where the pin was made flush with the liner. Was that a wonderful surprise… i did not want to send my knife to germany so i got 2 options either grind the stop pin flush or get to work on the scale. 1 drill and an hour of carving very gently with my Manix XL later the scale finally fitted.

Re: Spyderco Photo of the Week Contest!
Thx! Yes it is well worth the effort i am very glad with the result. I always love the design but the original scale does not give the design justice for me. Not that the og scale is ugly ore anything , far from but the knife is so well build it screams to be improved.JRinFL wrote: ↑Tue Nov 15, 2022 8:59 amLooks great and I'm glad you got it all to work in the end.
