My Kershaw Kudu, took the plastic off and made some wooden Opipi scales.

I'm a bit disgusted with my Skyline...... :facepalm:

Firstly, 14C28N.......great steel, more than good enough compared to 8cr13

My main problem is deployment, it's just not a good flipper, especially not after few months pocket time, and what gets me it's not even obviously dirty....

Currently it's easier to use the horribly sharp blade stops like thumbstuds, but that's less than ideal.

Yesterday I tried to cut a dead branch off an office plant, wood was a bit harder than expected so I couldn't get through......went to close the knife and found the liner lock at past 100%  :facepalm:

Thought about it and that alone is not a deal breaker......with the single liner a bit of flex is to be expected.

I don't think that's the answer, I've seen what pocket lint does bearing pivots  :facepalm:

The blade is great, thin and slicey....all good.

Put that blade in a Spyderco Salt 1 chassis and you've got a hassle-free pocket knife. 

If my Salt 1 was PE and the hole was smaller thus lowering the profile of the knife, it would be no contest.....

Kershaw Skyline Plan of action

- grind off flipper
- give blade stops few passes under the polisher
- slightly hollow out G10 to give easier access  to use the blade stops as thumb studs.

My Skyline got raped today, we were pressing larger bushings into these shocks and found it worked best if we cut the rubber off the one end.....

While I killed myself at the press for 3 hours the appy used my knife to cut the rubber......good Sandvik 14C28N  :cheers:

My mind has changed a bit....... :hatsoff: Skyline, and  :hatsoff: 14C28N

I cringed watching how the knife was used yesterday, and I was waiting for the blade to chip out......heard it scratch against the old bushings so many times......

Rinsed it off last night, and 1 drop of Daiwa reel oil on the pivot and it was deploying perfectly again........

What I'm reconsidering is removing the flipper tab, not for deployment reasons but for the guard it forms......that was quite useful yesterday....

Now the steel.....

The edge had a few flat spots, I suspect from in-pocket meetings with me keys.  By last night it was just dull.

I touched up the edge with a diamond sharpener 3-beer free-hand steady, stropped it and it slices receipt paper  :cheers:

Did the full Nick on my Skyline, and while I had it apart put a 17 degree edge on it with the Lansky  :woohoo:

that Skyline now must be yours and only yours, after that use and tweaking   :like:
Never tried one of those, but I'm falling in love with this one I got two months ago, the Grid



I especially like the deep carry and quick opening, never fail to pop and lock!  :ahhh

I enlarged the lockbar relief, and the Skyline has become a firm favourite  :salute:

I waited like 4-5 years for it to drop to $30 on amazon after I missed getting one years ago for $28 I think, coming tomorrow :mail:, I hope I get a good copy, Your knife skills far exceed my feeble abilities  :salute: I won't be able to mod it like you have, hopefully it will just need a break in period
