• Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope that you all have something to be grateful for this year and for many years to come
  • America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

    Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

This knife was built for a friend who just celebrated 2 years (hence the marks on the flat side) sober. The blue scales represent the color of the 4th edition Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. He also asked for the AA unity symbol on the grind side. Blade is .140" CPMS35VN, heat treated by TruGrit. Every detail of the knife is of the customer's design.





Sheath coming soon with video.
 
Great as always!
How did you do the hole? I've been playing around with different drills/saws for that size.

Used a carbide tipped hole cutter. The texture inside the hole was done with a large carbide burr.

The texture looks awesome. I was using a bi-metal hole saw that had a drill bit as the center but it leaves a rough texture that takes forever to file out
