Double bladed alox mod

[Wootz]

The other day I scored an alox mod. Way too thick for my liking though. That's easy to sort out.
So I removed 3 layers, leaving the mainblade and awl, in between polished liners.
I really like how simple you can replace a broken blade if needed.
Syph is so friendly to help me out with grinding down the pivots.



"Harness Jack"

What sets this swiss slippy of for me as a good user is how smooth it is all around, with no tangs sticking out from the blade nor the awl (like a traditional harness jack). Nice and lightweight, yet build like a tank, handles excellent, cuts very well, sharpens great, easy to clean and mantain. Awesome inline awl. Super steel and blade. Handsome looks. What more do you need..
(besides a Spirit )

Ya that would be a nice slim user for sure.  Ive been thinking about combining the neglected parts I had made up into something nice looking.  Noone ever wants the gray anodized scales I made, nor the blue liners.  So I think I might make one like you have there, a one layer, with grey scales and blue inner liners, so kind of give the neglected parts their chance to shine.

That color combination sounds nice to me. If you think gray looks weird, you haven't seen chocolat brown!
Great use of leftover blades anyways.

My new setup at work:







Thanks a lot, Robert!  It's gonna serve me well

Paired with a Squirt or Piranha makes a lightweight EDC option:





Awlesome!!

Good combo, nice & slim

[Syph007]

Awesome! Glad the package made it to you safe.  That was actually quicker than I expected.  I would have had your cadet with scissors and pocket clip done last night but I broke my last carbide drill bit!  I had to express order some from knifekits and hopefully fedex will arrive tomorrow with a package of goodies for me.

Cheers

Oh that's irritating if its your last drill and you want to finish up.

Nice understated kit - very cool

So is that silver or grey on the SAK scales?

[crackout]

I see a second liner on the side of the awl. Did you include this one for symmetry reasons, Dr. Syph?

[Wootz]

Actually, I included the ti-liners and its symmetrical. I asked syph to put one on each side.

Thanks nuph. 

Color I would say a matte silverish gray. Like unpolished silver, doesn't reflect light as much. 

(Nobody likes the HA gray, I heard Syph is having a giveaway.. )

You're the first and only person to want gray, so I think they are going to get stripped and re-anodized a different color.

A comparison with standard silver alox and my gray.  I think not different enough to generate any interest.

I love that color!

Nice setup(s) wootz!

[Wootz]

Thanks mate. I like the covert Titanium Gray too.

[nuphoria]

I agree, looks great.... pretty close to the brushed Ti stuff I have

Playing Lego on a rainy sunday afternoon.

Simply removing 2 liners, adding a spring and saw, bright scales, et voila the Bushcrafter (in pic next to a Farmer).

Nothing to it - this modding is so easy

What I really want instead, is a fishscaler!
