Lovely work sir!  :like:

Can anyone tell me if the scale bolts are a standard allen key size? I'm trying to remove my scales for cleaning and adjusting and they're either a non standard size or the previous owner has stripped them.

Don't put me on the haystack, but what is so great about the knife?

I'm a total noob regarding fixies, so all I see is "another fixed blade"...

So, what makes this one so special?

For a start they come in different colours (there's a lime green one, an olive drab one,  a black one and an orange one ) but most importantly it's the only fixed blade fully endorsed by Funk Bassist Bootsy Collins.  :tu:

All joking aside, it's a great size, excellent ergo's, nice thick blade, sweet sheath.

The way it's designed makes it comfortable (to me anyway) to use with all sorts of different grips.

Super tough as well.

Took the opportunity to strip the coating on my Izula II. It came out well and has already started developing a patina. Here it is with my favourite fixed blade, the Dozier Personal.

I've yet to wonder into the world of fixed-blades.  What is it about the Dozier Personal that makes it your favorite?
