I was wondering.....if I sent a picture of my tribal tattoo to Mr. Ralph how would he get the design onto the actual knife handle if all I have is the picture of the actual tattoo on my arm?

Another Darrel Ralph question.

I've never asked Darrel about the details of the process, but in outline he'd go from the photograph to a drawing (with pencil/paper or an image manipulation program), and then from that drawing into coordinates/instructions telling the CNC machine how to machine the pattern into the titanium of the handle.
Bottom line is that assuming you can get him a decent photograph (in focus, etc.) of the tattoo on your arm, it shouldn't be a problem to get it on your knife handle if you're ordering one of Darrel's customs.

Ever since I saw the video of Joe Perry's knife I thought a Madd Maxx would look kewl with my tattoo on it.I just love Rachael Ray saying "That's a damn big knife" then Joe proudly says "Its a Darrel Ralph!"
