That was an improvement. Good job.

Now just finish the job by getting rid of that upward swoop on the spine.

Hehe, I figure with this mod I'll have years of needle sharp tip even with medium use, I figure I lost half of the tip strength by doing this. More of a slicer in my book anyhow.

Nice, gives it an 860 Bedlam feel

Just in my opinion that swedge wasn't adding anything but weight and really increased the profile of the knife.

Ryan Vaughn did the work, good enough for a user blade, not talking crap because I couldn't have done that work, just hit the edges of the spine with my ceramic stick since it still had some burr left from grinding and there's a small spot on the spine where it got gouged on the belt.

Well worth the $45 for what I wanted.

Bedlam is on my list along with Contego and Ruckus.

Been busy, I'll try to get some more flattering shots uploaded, next mod for this sucker will be grinding out better access to the hole on the handle, I don't like how I can't push the blade forward, have to sweep my thumb to the side, not cool.

This means I need a 740 to compare it to as well LOL!
