Sometimes you have "that guy" that needs his knife modified or done a certain way! Tonight that guy, Doug Browning , got a shield installed in one of his knives.

Shields are pretty easy to install before knife assembly. However AFTER knife assembly there are some issues that could be had... I was able to build me a little fixture to hold an assembled knife in my cnc and cut a pocket accurately so his new shield could be installed. It all worked out great! Pin and all!

The fixture is pretty simple. Just a block of aluminum to hold a piece of .080" A2 hardened and ground flat. Plus a couple of toe clamps and leather to protect the knife handle.

Anyways. Im super happy to have "that guy" as a good friend. He keeps me in the knife news and has a plethora of knife history. Not to mention this wonderful collection of pocket knives. Thanks Doug!
