Here is my latest for the Badger Knife show this weekend

Ladder Damascus, Fosilized Walrus Bolster, Titanium,Copper,Titanium Spacer.
Stabilized Sambar Stag Scales. Amber Nut on Wrist Thong.

I was thinking about anodizing the titanium spacers blue.

Should i make them blue or leave them silver?

Any and all comments are welcome

Very nice ! i like it ! (like all your work !)

I vote to anodize the titanium in to a bronze or straw color !
How do you make to anodize the titanium with the assembled knife?
Do you use the paintbrush technic ? There as no risk for the copper
and the stainless near the titanium ?

Michael that is breathtaking - as usual! Like Bruce I am boggled (well, Bruce may not be boggled) by the fit of your spacers to the tang. That just blows me away. By all means, annodize the Ti! Silly boy.

I really like the braided thong and amber bead. I've been trying to pull that off too from time to time, but unsuccessfully. I think I'll save these pics along with all the other pictures of your knives, and copy you some day. It's homage, not a rip-off. :D

Sure wish I could break away for the show this weekend, but my wife is already cracking the whip - to the point she's saying, no shop time! Yeah, right. But I do know there won't be any road trips. :( Good luck at the show, I look forward to your report!
 
That is a beautiful knife. Very nicely done. I'd leave the spacers as they are but, that's just me. Nice work.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words.

After it is completly finished and polished, mask off everything except the ti and then color as usual. I found that the tsp solution will discolor blade steel as well as wood , stag and so far, everthing else i use for handles. Thats why i do it by masking.

Here is some pics after i anodized it.
