My slightly modded Whaleshark G10

Next to my DAMM

Pros:

- awesome unique design with good ergonomics

- strong titanium frame lock with steel insert and hidden lockbar limiter

- solid early lock-up

- excellent flipping action thanks to the ball bearing pivot system (after cleaning and oiling)

- extra large thumb studs (they also serve as blade stops)

Cons:

- you need special tools for the screws

- out of the box it needed a little fine tuning (cleaning & oiling)

- sharp edges around the blade grooves and the flipper (10 minutes work with sandpaper)

 I enlarged the cut out on the G10 scale for an easier access to the lockbar

Charles May Bushcraft Knife rehandled in Burr Elm

This knife originally had Orange G10 handles - they were only about 3.5mm thick on each side though so tiring to use after a while.

A new fatter handle was requested and Stabilised Burr Elm was chosen.
