Kindly sent to me by the good folks @heinniehaynes to scale up , test and review the full flat version of the Enzo necker .
These Sandvick 12c27 stainless neckers are proving very popular among UK bushcrafters as they are also available in a Scandi grind and it will work great as a back up to a main bushcraft knife or when coupled with just an axe .
They can be simply wrapped in 550 cord with a kydex sheath or fully scaled up with a leather bushcraft sheath and are also proving a real hit with folks wanting to make there own neckers without the time or expense of making their own knives .
Heinnie’s also sent me a pair of the K&G CF twill scales they also sell to scale the Enzo necker in . These are generous sized scales measuring 12.7cm x 3.8 cm x 0.8 .
CF is very lightweight but strong and is easy to work though the dust is harmful and can be an irritant so protective gear is a must when working with it .
The surface finish on the these scales really reminds me of the textured surface of peel ply G-10 which Ive not ever come across on carbon fiber before so am looking forward to testing it out .
My plan is to scale this up in a work in progress tutorial to post up here so you guys who've always wanted to have a go at scaling a full tang knife can use it if you wish as a tutorial .
