If I didn't know better I'd say it was a custom

 

[Sick or Sane]

Russians seem to have some real craftsman. Very impressive work coming out of that country.

Here is another customised knife:

 

[flystagg]

can anyone explain how you make patterns like that in the g10/ micarta scales? Or in damascus for that matter. Probably something I will have to read about.

Wow...beautiful. :thumbup:

It blows me away how those butterfly patterns are etched to the knife!

Sorry , I'm not a specialist in these technologies.

I just noticed the butterfly patterns in the bolsters. Amazing work on this Benchmade.

 

[Toyz]

The Benchmade reminds me of the Faberge Eggs. Very slick - but something that looks like it should be locked away behind glass for viewing only.

I don't know how or where, but I saw a collection of work by the craftsperson who did the BM.

The particular site had quite a few pictures of knives in that style.

 

[HikingMano]

That is amazing :thumbup:

From tool to work of art. Exceptionally well-realized.

The bolsters are mokume gane (literally "wood-grain metal"). It is made by welding layers of contrasting metal together. It's the same as making damascus steel, but with metals other than steel. Many patterns can be made depending on how the metal is layered and forged. I'm not a pattern-welding expert, so I couldn't tell you how the butterflies made. People skilled in making damascus can tell exactly how a pattern was made just by looking at it.

No kidding. That is beautiful. :thumbup:

Yes , you are right, it is mokume , we use the same word for that in Russia.

Those are beautiful knives.
