Half naked Chinook

Okay, maybe not what you expected to see. :p

Was working on my chinook 3 earlier and thought a picture of it in locking position but without one scale would be interesting. I don't think any other knife can do this because the back spacer is held in position by screws, not nubs fit into liners.

Excuse the poor background as it was on my "work bench" (old IKEA table).

Folding knives can be classified in two large groups: Spydercos and the rest!

Thanks. The factory angle was really obtuse when I got it, probably more than 40°, so I decided to reprofile it to around 23° to fully take advantage of the s30v steel. They ain't kidding about s30v being abrasion resistant, even on 180 grit diamond stone it took me several hours to do that. It's not fully polished, you can still see the scratches on top of it, lost patience after reprofiling. :o
