Sinza La'Flesh
HA !, I didn't get this for a couple seconds . . . .
Jerry K , that's my real name.
The photo on the left is an italian 11inch manual folding knife modified by myself to be a gravity flick knife.
I built the brass toggle lever, and I reground the blade, and redrilled the pivot pin to keep the blade straight.
JerryK21 because 21 victories get you the Blue Max ( Pour le MeRite ), , , , I'm a Red Baron fan.

I have another famous Avatar, I almost used it here.
For a while I was Stabbin Time, from the Clash song Drug Stabbin Time
But my better thought it was too violent, and so I changed my avatar to "Cheese Macaroni"
with a cartoon of a typical italian knife and how I changed the bolsters to devil ears.
I wrote a rant about how Cholesterol will kill me before switchblades, why isn't CheeseMac outlawed too.
and how Cheese Macaroni actually is a very dangerous thing, it kills you by surprise.
Here is the actual knife, a bought italian kit knife and a 60's folder, merged together and
with modified "ears" into devil horns and turned into a parts knife,
I've probably built a dozen , some automatic, some gravity, some manual folders. I only have this one left now.
some were crappy, some were brass edge kits, one was nickel cast by me, this one is steel bolsters.
They were not all wasp waists, thats why I saved this experiment.
I would like to continue experimenting with wasp waists. But my fingers are old and tired.
Someday I hope to do a flatguard wasp waist auto. and I can never find time to finish stuff.
( I think it may be a character flaw, unfinished things.)
In knife building circles, I'm what you call a "mangler", I fix up junk knives for fun.
Even though I've made each and every part of a knife, many times over,
I've only built less than 20 wholly original scratch made knives. Not all of them were folders.
I made the Needle spike, but its not really a knife. I mostly swap parts and rehandle stuff.
I think before I get too old, I Hope to make a masterpiece, just to show I had it in me.
