[Carl Kotte]

I’m in for a European tour, if there will be one! [emoji1303]

 

[M1k3]

Los Angeles California

 

[McMan]

Is this going to be a two-fer?--chevron + regular hook?

 

[Barmoley]

I’m in, Los Angeles.

 

[Briochy]

Will it come to this lonely country known as Australia? If so, I'm in.
Edit: I'm in Sydney

 

[Nemo]

I'd like to compare it with the original.

 

[Kippington]

Will it come to this lonely country known as Australia? If so, I'm in.

It's already there!

I'd like to compare it with the original.

Sure!
For clarity, Nemo already has one of my earlier hook grinds.

This is the official passaround thread for the Hook grind from the thread here

Whilst I am not mad about the aesthetics of the chevrons... she has beautiful lines. Nice work.

Is this going to be a two-fer?--chevron + regular hook?

I was thinking about this also.... I hesitated since I didn't want to suggest more work for you... But it might help people do a side-by-side comparison. It would help answer the question

Am I taking it overboard by messing around with the surface below the step?

 

[Briochy]

It's already there!

Oh lol, forgot ur Australian maker //doublefacepalm

 

[Nemo]

Which steel is it forged from?

 

[Kippington]

It's 52100.

Is this going to be a two-fer?--chevron + regular hook?

I might do both, lemme think about it for a bit. It's a lot more work.

 

[ma_sha1]

I am in!

I am in Connecticut, about half way between New York City & Boston.

 

[minibatataman]

If it comes to the EU, I'd love to get in on this as well. I'm in the Netherlands.

 

[AT5760]

I would like to be in:

AT5760; Nebraska, USA

 

[Michi]

I would love to try this! I'm in Brisbane.

 

[Luftmensch]

lemme think about it for a bit. It's a lot more work.

Cant imagine it would be less than double!

 

[Chuckles]

Would love to experience this.
Minneapolis, USA

 

[F-Flash]

I like to join too

I'm in Finland

 

[TRPV4]

Definitely up for it if it makes its way to the UK!

 

[Matus]

Should the knife make it to EU I would love to join. I must give a warning though - it will be hard to get the knife to EU without the person receiving the knife paying some sort of taxes/duties. I managed that once (passaround from Ian Haburn some times back), but whether it would work again is hard to guess.

 

[ian]

Would be thrilled.

[Michi]

This pass-around is really unpopular. Hardly anyone interested…

 

[lemeneid]

Damn man, why does this have to be righty and not lefty

 

[vicv]

Neat looking knife. I'm a lefty though. I don't understand how you people use that useless right appendage!

 

[Michi]

@lemeneid @vicv Not that long ago, kids in primary school got beaten by their teacher if they were caught trying to write with their left hand. (Seriously! I lived through those times )

So, stop whingeing about your first-world problems

 

[vicv]

Lol. Very true. I'm just a sinister fella

 

[Barmoley]

@lemeneid @vicv Not that long ago, kids in primary school got beaten by their teacher if they were caught trying to write with their left hand. (Seriously! I lived through those times )

So, stop whingeing about your first-world problems

And rightfully so, there should be some discipline in using the correct hand.
