Here is my latest and greatest. The knife is a Benchmade Stryker II (CPM-M4 steel) frankenstein-ed with a Triage in order to get one carbon fiber scale and one G10 scale with the strap cutter/glass breaker integrated into the back spacer. This knife is fabulous in so many ways, and not so fabulous in several as well (poor thumb ramp geometry).
I love the extra grip of the G10 and the utility of the strap cutter combined with the class of the carbon fiber. There was only one modification needed to the carbon fiber scale to make this work, and it was easily done with a hand drill.
In one of the photos you can see the reflection of my ceiling fan 10 feet away, it was hard to get my phone to focus properly while lining up the knife; cool silhouette none the less.
Cheers!

Still getting the hang of this! I just finished working on my ZT0450CFZDP and thought I would continue on the playing card theme 🙂

Here is some of my early success with the WE. These are just some old kitchen knives I was practicing on, the ‘polish’ was achieved with a piece of 2000 grit sandpaper taped to one of my stones after using the 1200 grit ceramic. I can’t wait to try some of the finer finishes!
