I finished this piece up yesterday, the blade and scales are basket weave, the scales are .080. the spacers and thumb stud are from the same damascus. screws have all been heat colored. The ti liners have been heat colored gold.
OAL- 5 3/4"- 2 1/2" blade- 3 1/4" closed
Thanks for lookin,

Bill
 
Man that is a nice one! If you could have some damascus screws made up that would sure be neat..... Your one talented fellow!
 
Cool piece, Bill! :) Did you use the furnace to heat the Ti?
 
I really like this folder Bill! I'm attracted to the patterns, and the overall style. Good going, again! This reminds me of Nebraska, or Kansas, from 20,000 feet!
 
Holy crap Bill, that is way too cool! I love it. When ever I get the chance to get back into the shop I really need to try out my new hydraulic press and also try some mosaics.
 
Thanks everyone for the comments I really appreciate them.

Fitz, yes, used the furnace.

Thanks again,

Bill
 
Awsome Bill, that realy stands out. Man I've got to get a surface grinder. How many deer will it skin? :D
 
heckuva nice folder, Bill. Clean, simple, outstanding. Wish I could see it in person.
 
Nice work Bill. I like the basket weave. This would be the perfect knife to show off all over town.
 
That is really great. Bill. A lot of folks would look at that and wonder, "How did he do that"? Thumbs up for you, Bill!
 
Thanks again Guys,

Will, you don't need a surface grinder, it would be nice but you don't need one. I ground everything fairly close on the belt grinder and then trued it all up with a sanding disc.

Daniel, if you send me a check You can see it up real close, in just a few days. :D

Kim, yes I agree it would be a cool piece to have at Blade, but since I'm not going to make it, I guess it won't either. :(
I wish you all a good time and lots of sales, maybe next year I can join in.

Thanks again,

Bill
 
:eek: :eek: :D

Going to have it at Blade?

How many zeros do I need to put on the check?

:D :p
 
Daniel, No It won't be at Blade, unless someone buys it and takes it there with them ;) . The check doesn't have to have any zero's, 9's will work in there place. :D
