Blacked out kwaiken with toxic green G10

[Matthew Gregory]

Weird one for me. Well, the style, steel, and form of it aren't, but I rarely powdercoat, and I've NEVER used synthetic material under the wrap. I kind of like it!

5" blade of .250" 1084, strong distal taper and full flat grind, with a tapered tang and toxic green G10 under the resin soaked wrap. The entire blade is powdercoated black. I really dig the serious contrast!

The beveled spine is spring tempered.

Let me know what you think! Need to make one of my IWB concealed carry, ultrasuede-lined kydex sheaths for this, and then it needs to find a home! Hopefully get it done and listed this weekend...

Thanks for looking, gang.

Bombastic!
But, Red trumps Green... at least Toxic.

I like it. It's definitely an interesting modern twist.

Thanks guys!!

Tad, damn near every one of these that I make is tapered like that. They feel better, cut better, ARE better because of it.

And I know you already know this.

Joey, you never call anymore...

...finished putting the final edge on it tonight. Looks even cooler with the shiny contrast at the edge. I'll try and get pics of it tomorrow, probably after the sheath is done.

'Poison Talon'... I might steal that, bro.

I really like it, but the turk's head seems a bit overpowering to the slim lines. That is my only (small and really not heartfelt) complaint.

Zieg,

I was gonna' post more but didn't and should have..
The Turk's head looks perfectly sized to me, not overpowering at all.
Eye of the beholder I guess.

Green Lantern was my thought as well. Very cool colourway.

An interesting and very good looking piece.
My mind is just reeling with all the GREAT possibilities for a black sheath for this beauty.
By the way, the photos (especially the first) are amazing.

Thanks, gang.


Thanks Kevin!!!

Really been working on my photos... Hardest part for me is finding suitable backgrounds.
