Blade Show table 20-B fixed blade profiles

[greatlakeswaterjet]

Here are the profiles we will have at the show. Right now I have about 20-30 of each. Some in ATS-34 and some in 154CM. Let me know what you think of these patterns.

Last ones Don't let my bad picture taking fool you. The blanks are clean as a pin. I just can't take good pics.

The second one from the left in the first group is the pattern I had you cut for me back in Dec. The last in the group is the same pattern stretched a bit. WTF???

Rick, thats not the same pattern. I do not and will not use a customer's pattern without permission. I have yours on file still. All but 3 of these, I drew up completely new. The other 3, I have permission from those customers.

 

[Fiddleback]

They look pretty good to me. Do you do the pinholes too?

The third from the left looks just like a set of EDCs I am making right now. Its a nice shape and I love how it feels in the hand! It my new go-to small knife shape.

Heres my version...I drop the handle a bit more:

Comon man, he is not ripping off your design. Thats a profile thats been used since the beginning of knives, and probably every maker on earth has some variant thats nearly the same.

 

[Fiddleback]

Damn I love seeing your knives David!

 

[greatlakeswaterjet]

Rick and I talked on the phone. Problem solved! Once again, I will not use a customer's design without permission, now or ever. Its common to design a profile that is similar to another. Heck, its hard not to. I try to do some tried and true "similar" designs that everyone will like. But its known that no two knifemaker's finished knifes will ever be the same. Thanks everyone.

Well said David.:thumbup:

How much will a blank cost? And will they be available online after Blade?

 

[greatlakeswaterjet]

They will be on my website after Blade. I will have the products pages with shopping carts done. And it will be updated for knifemakers to enjoy since thats all I do anymore.:thumbup:
