Little status update as of today:

Mind you, this baby is with me 24-7, and I'm using it as intended, that's why the cerakote is getting worn.

Love the worn look though.

I like the warn look as well.

I can't wait to get a bit more use out of my Coated Farmer.

Yeah it was. Silly me had them reversed the first time around. Still learning, that's the fun of modding

did it fit that way too? i'm surprised about that, that the holes lined up right.

am i correct in thinking you added side locking 111mm tools to the OHO knife?

i'm still a little foggy on how that works. the side locking 111mm tools fit on OHO knife (do holes need to be widened or something). but the OHO blade requires modification to fit on the side locking 111mm knife?

i bumped a thread that shows a modder put a OHO blade on a 111mm knife keepin both blades. that's the direction i'm heading...

thanks

maybe my favorite 111mm sak ever.

excellent work Steve

tattoosteve99 · **Reply #37 on:** January 07, 2013, 01:21:50 AM

Actually this was a soldier to start with. So the locking mechanism was already there.

WiSAKfan · **Reply #38 on:** January 07, 2013, 02:08:40 AM

and tools were from a hercules or similar knife?

WiSAKfan · **Reply #39 on:** January 07, 2013, 06:12:11 AM

i think i am over thinking this

as long as i'm using the backspring of the OHO and it's locking liner then it should fit in 111mm side locking knife, i;d just have to deal with the different pin stock sizes.

what gets tricky or impossible would be using just OHO blade itself as a drop in replacement of the side locking blade

tattoosteve99 · **Reply #40 on:** January 07, 2013, 02:36:00 PM

Unfortunately the tangs of the knife are different. The side locking and OHO are very different

.

which should only matter if you are trying to replace just the side locking blade with the OHO blade right?

if you are using the OHO backspring with the OHO blade then it shouldn't matter right?

hopefully my new parts come in quick so i can start to work on this without all this guessing...

thanks

tattoosteve99 · **Reply #42 on:** January 07, 2013, 11:56:40 PM

That should be correct

WiSAKfan · **Reply #43 on:** January 08, 2013, 12:46:49 AM

yes bear with me

thank you.

i'm so excited for my parts knives to get here.

borgwarrior · **Reply #44 on:** January 08, 2013, 09:26:49 AM

I had a little problem with the Super Soldier. I had lost it. BUT I found it after two weeks in my own garden. Thankfully neither the freezing temperatures, neither the snow did any damage.

Since then, I always triple check that is the knife on me... I don't want to re-live that feeling what I felt when I thought I had lost it.

that would be the worst feeling, glad to hear you found it.

well half of my parts came today for new project, a hercules. hopefully the OHO Sentinel gets here tomorrow.

this is my second hercules, pretty good knife in it's right but i won't feel bad tearing it apart, needs a good cleaning and a good sharpening...

the hercules i got today is monogrammed BAD

my new mod will be BAD in a good way

tattoosteve99 · **Reply #48 on:** January 08, 2013, 07:02:29 PM

Well if ever do loose it, I'm here to make another

borgwarrior · **Reply #49 on:** January 08, 2013, 09:42:07 PM

I hope the Super Soldier will be my true "companion for life". So I'll make sure not to lose it again.

WiSAKfan · **Reply #50 on:** January 08, 2013, 11:42:39 PM

you should probably grant us the chance to see some pictures of it now

papercut · **Reply #51 on:** January 09, 2013, 02:58:35 AM

So a Hercules with a locking OHO blade?

Nice!

WiSAKfan · **Reply #52 on:** January 09, 2013, 05:03:59 AM

i wish i could find the pic i did see of someone doing a OHO hercules.

mine will be a little different combination depending on what i can work in there

i'm new to modding the 111mm style

Not much has changed since the last update.

I can make some new pics if the fellow MT.o members would like to see them.

Has that ever been an excuse for not looking at new pictures of anything falling in the eye candy category?

borgwarrior · **Reply #57 on:** February 06, 2013, 03:15:15 PM

As requested.

That is a very nice knife.

Somehow I missed this thread. Probably because I was dealing with a warranty reaplacement of my tractor at the time it first posted...

BUT:

After reviewing through this thread I have a few bullet points.

1. Wow.

2. Borgwarrior, if that was your brainchild, it's brilliant.

3. Steve: Your workmanship is beautiful AND durable! The Cerakote looks fantastic! Most of the cerakoted tools I have look pretty ratty in a fairly short order. Again, superior work.
4.

5. Could we a picture of how you carry that Borgwarrior? I'd also like to see an "action" shot, just to see how it fits in your hand.
6. This thread needs a re-direct to Victorinox corporate offices.
