Supporting Member* GAW

Post by glennbad »

I've been working on a bunch of random mods for the purpose of a GAW, and I'm finally done with them. This GAW is open to supporting members, *or those members with at least 75 posts currently. If you don't meet either of those requirements, but go and purchase a supporting membership now, you are eligible.

Now to the knives...They are for the most part not new knives. They may have have dings, nicks, or other blemishes, but are full and solid and would make good users.

#1 - A TL-29 mod single blade with giraffe bone and EO notch

#2 - Camillus muskrat in amber jigged bone
AAPKGAW-3.jpg
AAPKGAW-4.jpg


#3 - A Schrade 34OT in my own dyed stag - the pulls are a little lighter on this one, so more ideal for softer thumbnails

AAPKGAW-6.jpg


#4 - Case SS Peanut in mammoth ivory
AAPKGAW-7.jpg
AAPKGAW-9.jpg


#5 - A frankenmod of my own creation...keychain caplifter. It's chopped down with parts from another knife pattern. Giraffe or camel bone, not sure which.

Just post which knife you are interested in, or if you don't have a preference, just say so. Have fun!

Edited to add...I will put the names in a hat (or other similar hi-tech sorting device) for those interested in each knife, and select winners that way.

Glenn I don’t know how you’re deciding, but that muskrat mashes my buttons. I’d be in for it!

Such a nice looking group!

The cap lifter is definitely a neat piece. And, it's accepted anywhere a knife ain't.

Glenn - that chopped down frankenmod of your own creation keychain caplifter floats my boat - I can almost see the smile on your face making that one!

How does the GAW work?

Glenn, the first one with the EO giraffe bone is the one I like the most, but I like them all.

It's looking like the A TL-29 EO (#1) and Case Peanut (#4) are pulling ahead of the rest down the long side of the track! ::groove::

Glenn, I’d be proud to own any of those, but the Schrade 34OT stockman with your stag on it would be my pick if forced to choose just one. They’re all beautifully done. ::tu::

Glenn, I’m not in the running, but those are some great pieces, and I think it’s very cool what you’re doing. If there was a jumbo stockman in the bunch, I’d be foaming at the mouth.

I think you could swedge the blade on the Frankenlifter and put a tiny 5/8” stealth edge on it.

The Muskrat catches my eye as a user but there is just something about the TL-29 that says “carry me!”

I'd be happy to own any of them. But if I could only pick one, it would be the TL-29 with the EO cutout.
