[clinton1]

You guys are killing me with this knife porn… Finally got the cpks I wanted and now this crew got me looking at the embers… damnit! That Josh guy does some super clean work. I get lost in all the discussion here being busy with stuff but I keep lurking to drool and laugh at shenanigans here and there

Also newly obsessed with these!!!

Sticking with the blue theme...a Shaman in M4 with Ritt dyed scales, (done by original owner), and a blue bone Pikuni, a gift to me from Rob Simonich while visiting his home in Clancy, MT in 2000.

I’m line with the thread… I used to like tinkering with metal in various forms… stepped away from it for about 12 years now at this point… feels like a lifetime ago. Starting to get the bug again tinkering with sharpening etc. which is kinda cool putting a smile on my face. That’s the first knife I made with a guy named chuck Richards out in Northern California prob 20yrs ago now… not sure if he’s around doin this stuff anymore at all. Good dude

The scales aren't particularly grippy.

What are those inlays? Bit blurry zooming in caught my eye

It's all just ano and whatever stippling or treatment he did on the scales to give it a "bolster" look. No inlays.

Sorry, the images are a couple decades old.

I made three of these, and I managed to screw one up a bit so I'm keeping it for testing. Love this knife

I guess I’m turning into my dad. Ordered the Blade Forums 25th anniversary knife and got number 454. Only the second traditional slip joint I have. The first one was my dads that I got when he passed away. Miss ya pops!

Well, it was a popular Chevy engine...

And quite a hand cannon.
