Comission build from our Czech Republic member

[tasahbay716]

I have commissioned a "flipper" folding knife with Mammoth molar scales and Meteorite bolsters from one of our Forum members from the Czech Republic that goes by the handle "wajgy" on this forum. His name is Petr Weingartner and his shop name is PWCustom. I have sent him a 50% deposit and approved some of the specs. He said he would send some pics during the process. I thought I would chronicle the process in this thread to give other forum members a peek at his custom build process. He list both fixed blade and folders in the knifemaker for sale section and I have been impressed with his work, so I decided to give him a shot at making a knife with materials that are interesting to me. He has stated a 12-18 week build time. Stay tuned!

wajgy . I am also a fan of his work, I love the leather stacked handles he does as well as the sheath. I hope to one day own a smaller version of his Soldier model.

[tasahbay716]

It is amazing to see Petr's work come together using these materials. I cannot wait to hold this knife in my hand. Thank you again for all the detailed photos Petr.

That's gonna look great when it's done. I always cruze the makers sale thread and ogle over his stacked leather Tank fixed blades. Those things are beautiful.

Thank you very much guys for all nice comments! It iIt is little bit too far for most of you to visit my workshop to be able to see how do I work so this could help little bit

Blade is stainless damascus with Elmax core. Now I am etching it and than little bit of polishing
