Honoring our 1926 Model T’s 100th Birthday, a great friend and World Class Artist and Craftsman built this for me….he’s made 12 Hotrod knives in the past and not only is this ‘Lucky 13’ but it’s been 12 years since the last one plus this is the only one from a photo.

Completely hand carved and fabricated down to the last part…..tires (even replicated the tread on the front and the Cheater Slick pattern on the back), wheels, carbs, headers, engine, etc, with a wonderful carved ivory skull checking everything out….its on a magnet so it can swivel around.

The perfectly ground and fullered dagger blade is Damasteel and the best part is pushing down on the left-side header is the blade release…fires with unmitigated authority and is secured with a flame colored locking-liner, finely detailed, as is everything….the axles and engine sides are also flame colored….almost look case-hardened.

The frame itself is bead-blasted steel that was hot blued with G10 ‘scales’ over them….the tires are turned from G10 and the scoop is carved from the same.

Folks speak of ‘One-of-a-Kind’, ‘One-of’, ‘One-off’…….THIS is the definition right here!!!!

I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do and will….thank you @phillipbooth for your talent and perseverance through this past year.IMG_1644.jpegIMG_1645.jpegIMG_1647.jpegIMG_1646.jpegIMG_1648.jpegIMG_1649.jpegIMG_1650.jpegIMG_1653.jpegIMG_1656.jpegIMG_1654.jpeg
 
That's incredible! I even like the way he did the "discoloration" on the exhaust manifold. And the knife by itself is first class...Beautiful work all the way around!
