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.

Think I got the right website this time

Howdy guys, it's me, the Bladefanatic
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.

LCC Operation
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
