Crazy Kwaiken

[phorizt]

This is an 8" OAL kwaiken in 1/8" O1. I stepped out of my comfort zone with the materials on this one as they're a little bold for me.

Handle is "crazytek" which is a custom ctek type material in kind of a translucent green/yellow combo that looks like green tree snake scales imo. Silver carbon fiber bolsters, yellow G10 liners and aluminum and G10 spacers. Hardware is SS.

Hand rubbed finish.

This one is ground thin and high and will be a slicing machine. You aren't going to baton down large oak trees or pry your way through a bank vault with it though.

Handle material is subjective, but I like it. Steel choice for the shape is great, as is the thickness and grind. You've got a winner.

I like it. When do we get to fight over it on the exchange? Hahaha

Is that green ctek available anywhere?

Looks like this one is spoken for at this point. I do have enough of this material to make one more though so I may do another one.

this is not your standard green ctek. This stuff is made by a guy named Travis Zumwalt(check him out on Instagram if you're on there) who makes a lot of custom handle materials. i believe this is the first knife made out of this particular green/yellow combo. Also, the typical ctek stuff has a very uniform honeycomb pattern while this material has the honeycomb purposefully deformed and distorted to give it a unique look with each piece.

here's one more look of the handle from the side:

Thanks, I'll look him up.
I referred to it as simply ctek for brevity.
