Wow!!!

decided to go out after all...

ayoob sprint

after a month wailing on the K390 Endela SE, I managed to bend/distort the FRN backspacer while trying to cut through some HDPE. Not the knife's fault at all - I was putting a ton of force on it, inadvertently torqued it, and that was that. Well outside the type of use the knife was designed for.

Thankfully I had a spare handle from a pekkawood endela, including the steel liners and backspacer. This led me to realize I could create this very strong frankendela abomination, which has been a joy to use. It's similar in weight to the old steel/G10 enduras, and it feels like a complete tank. The one thing I didn't love about the original pekkawood handles in use was how slippery they'd get when wet, but I fixed that with the classic crappy grip tape mod.





Worth noting that the lockbar for the FRN endela seems to be slightly longer than the lockbar for the pakkawood version, so it's not a perfect swap. I had to file off about 1 mm (ballpark guess) from the back end of the K390 one's lockbar to get it to clear the pakkawood's steel backspacer.

Don't want to come across as arrogant, but grant me just one overnighter camp and that peak actually looks doable to me...

Sal's greatest design again today. Really grew on me this one.
