Don't know if you guys know this guy, but I bought a "first project" from thebladefanatic on BB, and it looks pretty good. I was his first customer so he really rolled out the red carpet. Sounds like he wants to build custom knives as well as doing mods.

Check it out: http://grampasknives.kicks-ass.org

Think I got the right website this time

Poorbs,

Is that the right link?

M.P.E.

I am really only getting started with the whole knife customizing thing, but am getting far enough along that I wanted to share a few of my projects. My website is: http://thebladefanatic.dyndns.org or at http://grampasknives.kicks-ass.org ... check out my 3 LCC full auto mods, #14,15 and 16 (I call them The Three Sisters)

I hope to improve my work and maybe have something worthwhile to do in my retirement (not very many years away).

Thanks for the intro and also thanks so much for telling me about this great Talkblade site.

Mr. Grampa,

Didn't know you Okies had any gators up there - thought they all hung out in Cajun country.

I like the 3 sisters (clever names, and they fit pretty good too). Didn't notice any buttons or release mechanisms in the pics. How do you fire them?

mrbigg -

I'll take your word for it on the buttons - maybe I'll have to buy one and see for myself (eyes ain't what they used to be).

I got a model 10 from grampa on BB and really like those fatty grips - you can really get a good grip on 'em - do some serious cuttin'.

Hi Poorbs,

Yep, they are dual action automatic knives. You can either operate them manually (with thumbstuds on the blade) or fire them by sliding the righthand bolster with your thumb. They are leafspring fired, so they are fast and lock hard. I didn't used to like LCCs, but now they are my favorite clone knife!

Incidently, Oklahoma has a carry law (autos are legal in collections but not out in public) so these are convertable to manuals by simply removing the leafspring (doesn't even take any tools, they come out and go back in very easily). "Twiggy" is my everyday carry, but she goes "manual" whenever she's out in public (in case she's recognized).

Did you see #17 under construction? That one's a manual LCC cause I haven't figured out how to get a firing mech in it with full scales.

Thanks for adopting #10. I am sure she is in a good home now

Later, gotta work for a living
