A Little Something for Me

Nice! I just bough a few discs of kydex, and have been planning to do something... never though about a paint job like that. Inspiring stuff! :)

BTW, did you get my e-mail? I'm thinking of having some Kydex made for my Dexter Russell "mini-bolo" kitchen/camp knife. I can send pics first.

I got the one from the 8th. I've been backed up a bit and will be doing yours Friday.

Spooky, your stuff is looking like Friday too. :thumbup:
 
Just a bit creepier than the leaves the other day.:eek:
I wonder if a "spatter" would work or if it would be too thick and chip off.
Geez, I thought you were using cans.
That's really neat. Definitely gives "hot plastic" a boost.:thumbup:

I tried some canned textured, it's not very tough. If you match the color it might look good for a while, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I did use cans on those other pieces. Could've used them on this one with no real difference. I've got a couple ideas for the airbrush though if I can find the time to try them. Should be cooler than this one.

Completely unrelated, but check out these guys with rattle cans. Now that's cool. :cool:

Quick update. Doing other things and gave this a quick graphic on the blank side. Same skull, a bit different effect. Quick one color job to waste some paint. I'm going to be doing some more complicated ones this weekend if I get the time.

*And f*ck them if they don't like it.

Great work! I want one just like it to wear openly! :thumbup:

They'll change their minds when the zombies come. Just you wait. :cool:

Thanks. I'll be doing some less "skully" ones this weekend if time permits (and one very "skully" one for my Baby Hattori).
 
That is very cool! I like the two different colours. What thickness do you use?

So Kiah... would this be an option you could do to customer sheaths? :D

Once the site is back up, it will be. I'm wanting to do something with a M2000 Tonight, so there might be something extra in a certain box when it ships out Monday. ;)
 
Don't mind the lack of form on the sheath and the roughness, it's a scrap piece. Kinda snakey. I went a bit goofy on the clear, but a lot of the shine is from the flash. Kinda like it, but I think it needs bigger diamonds.

Thanks. I don't really care for it after looking at it abit. Scales are too small and there's no pattern. Here's a scrap with some bigger scales and better coloring. I like it better. Obviously wet.
