Just finished up the first litter of K9 A.P.B.T. pups... here are the pics. Here is a shot of them right after I finished them up in the shop. Exhibition grade desert Ironwood. This is probably the nicest piece of Ironwood I have ever used, and I've used some nice stuff over the years. Here it is with a close up of the leather. Butch did a good job. This Koa has some CRAZY figure! Some really nice high contrast Ironwood. Textured dark earth G-10. Some canvas micarta... Textured black G-10 with my Glock 20. Textured Olive Drab G-10 and my Glock 20. THANKS for all your support! These were a lot of fun to make and I'm really looking forward to your thoughts and input on them. Especially for those of you that will be handling/using them! Tom
They look GREAT Tom:thumbup: Looking forward to seeing mine. I assume that the Desert Ironwood with mosaic pins at the top is going to Oldphysics? He said it was going to be overkill and he wasn't kiddin'!! Thanks again, Jonny
#11 arrived today:thumbup: Tom, as usual...very very nice work. I really like how my combo turned. Thanks so much another beautiful piece. I've posted a few pics over in the gallery if anybody wants to take a look.
Yes, Tom told us this first batch would be A2. As far as production goes, I know he said before Blade this summer, but exactly when I'm not too sure.
These are the A2 preproduction pieces... My surface grinder is dragging his feet on these. Fingers crossed that I will have them done for Blade!! Johnny, glad to hear you are happy with your knife! I really like these. Tom
You bet it is!! I'm crazy about mine. It's in the permanent collection, for sure. [Did I mention the perfect 'fit and finish'?]
Here is #8. Satin with black G-10 and red liners. Wonderful feel in the hand. I will probably put several EDC size knives on the chopping block after this. Great job Tom.
That's more like it fellas!! Good to hear some of you guys are enjoying your APBT's as much as I am!!:thumbup:
