cdf replied to mojoewrkn's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
That is seriously badassed ! Is that shottie an AOW under the act . It's hard to tell the barrel length from your pic. Remind me not to get on the wrong side of the dude who owns it ! Chris -
Concealed Holster/case
cdf replied to Dirck's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Interesting concept , "smart phone " cases attract 0 attention , and can be worn with anything from a business suit to beachware . I've given thought to prototyping something . I'd worry about speed of access . Chris -
Thanks all , for the great info ! I wasn't just worried about Border services , but also the Food and Agriculture types . Chris

Lee Valley tools have a scalpel system , takes #4 blades , spare blades store in the handle . Blades can be resharpened ( with care ) . Warren woodcarving tools make a very nice clicker knife , with replacable/resharpenable blades ( Lee Valley carries them too . Chris

Kydex Holster Clip Alternative?
cdf replied to Rayban's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Kydex is OK if you control the heat range ( don't excede 325 F. ) and do gentel bends , if you overheat or overbend it can get brittle . Delrin would be just about ideal if you can get it at a reasonable price . Chris -

cdf replied to triage1998's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
An outfit called Bladetech makes them . They make one designed as a joint venture with Spyderco . They also make Tech Lok's and paddles for holsters . Well proven , and well executed stuff . Chris -
Couple Of Sheaths ( Cell Phone Pic ).

His Son has the same Gerber commorative set , and wants the same basic sheaths . Chris -
In a pinch mechanics handcleaner works as a fine finishing product . Corse grained linen + chalk is used by some straight razor owners . Diamond paste on MDF offcuts can make a very fine hone , of any dimension you choose . Heavy felt , and old canvas firehose take up abrasives really well . Chris

A while back i decided to go with a small horse for more detailed work , and a saddlers clam for the more detailed stuff . I wanted maximum flexability , so I can use it at a bench , on my lap , or with a chair . The "pony" is attached to a "T" piece , which can be attached to either my bench , or chair . There is a wide range of adjustment . For lighter work , the jaws are held closed with a concealed loop of bunji cord . When heavier pressure is required , a rope passing thru the stationary jaw , centerpost , and base can be activated . ( improvised stirrup on the end of the rope) . The jaws , baseplate , and "T" piece are oil finished red oak ( note hole for the placement of a cake of beeswax ) . The centerpiece is oil finished butternut . Chris
