Jeremy, it's on it's way. More Abalone and those curvy, survy satin double bolsters. Jeweled and double anodized liners and backspacer in gold and blue. CPM 440V satin blade, and nuggets on the spine and on the inside surface of the spine, Chew Voodoo and ambi thumbstuds on a "lefty".
 
Thanky kindly fellers', preciate them kind words.
Ferret wait'll you see the "Avenger" model. I should have some scans up in a day or two. I made some mods and "whoa, nellie!!" I'll have 6 done by the weekend. I'll shoot a little preview yer way
mate. Gotta go, time for the night shift :D
 
Mike, here's some info on the Avenger model.(3)4" CPM440V Blades,(2) 4" CPM3V Blades, 9" Overall Length, 6AL4V Liners, Bead-blasted G10 Scales in (3)Black or (2)Olive Drab, Drilled and Tapped for Tip Up or Tip Down Carry w/Ti Clip, Ambidextrous Thumbstuds. Here's a CAD drawing.
Our own Ferret and SammyB previewed the first drafts and had a hand in this final model thru their kind input. LarryD
 
Onya Larry, that looks much more "together" than last time I saw it...the thumbramp is a nice touch :)
 
Tell ya what Larry. When you finish one of these beauties in a all damascus, double bolstered, killer ivory DA I would like to be first on the list. This knife has some of the most beautiful aggressive lines out there Brother! Larry, be careful. Your becoming mighty hot mighty quick. More power to ya.:D

I really like that knife! I don't recall seeing abalone right up against satin metal before. It looks fantastic, IMO. I think the butt end bolster really sets it off beautifully. I think you could sell as many of those as you wanted to make! Great job!
 
Got the knife today :D ....and it is incredible, everything about it is perfect. Thanks Larry, look forward to getting another one of your knives soon.

Operator error!! Happens every day. Happened to me twice today!:) ld


btw for those that asked for more info on the "Avenger" here's a shot of the test piece. This is not the blade that will be on the knife, that one will be like the drawing, thicker and with thumb ramp serrations. I used this earlier version so I could try and get the grind lines down. I got close??? ld
