That's amazing! Looks like you have solved the problem. The small issue with the awl's nail nick is definitely a worthwhile trade off. Well done!

Looking at this again I think I'd prefer a thumb stud rather then a hole , Sorry Bob

Not a problem buddy, to each his own.


Am I recalling correctly that you don't prefer the OHT either? (as thats what I was trying to copy)

[Dunc]

While I like Spyderco's I'm not a fan of the hump on Vics one handers . I suppose Spydercos are ok because they have always looked like that but a OHT is something that was added to an existing profile and spoilt it .

Damn that's a fine mod sir

Have you thought about just making the profile a convexed one , should be fairly easy to do on a slack belt (although it'll take a while as it's already been heat treated )

I wouldn't have a clue as to how to go about that sir.    


My hope is to visit the knife making shops up north again soon and get some professional help with it.

That looks great Bob , funny I would have thought you have done the toughest parts of the mod & that the profiling + sharpening of the blade would be the easy bit for "The Gandalf/Jedi master"  of MT modding  . I am seriously in awe of your skills Bob , I was "Tits on a bull" at fitting & turning at trade school when doing my apprenticeship as a motor mechanic.

Now that is a colourful turn of phrase

So is it a Aussie phrase for "useless" then, I sort of thought it might of come from the old country .
