Some of you may have noticed that I have not been around here to contribute as often as I would like, but I promise it has all been for a good reason.

I am proud and excited to announce my latest project, and a new line of knives under my Esnyx brand! I call these my “Esnyx Essentials”. These knives are a little different from my fully handmade custom knives, as I have gotten my blades and springs cut out via water jet service, and I am outsourcing the heat treatment to a professional facility. This allows for a reduction in final cost without sacrificing quality, and a significant boost in the efficiency of my process. Everything else on these knives will be hand done by me personally. All of these knives will be marked with my new tang stamp, representative of this brand:

My first project is a collaboration with a couple of knife dealers/enthusiasts to make a short run of 25 knives for their brand. The knife will be a 3.5” “Stepped Barlow” with a single clip blade in CPM 154, stainless steel liners and bolsters, and handles made of the historic rosewood salvaged from the old Cattaraugus factory building in Little Valley, NY.

Without further ado, I present to you the first prototype for the first run of ES-N-TL’s:

Congratulations Evan. I just saw this a little while ago. Fabtastic stuff. :thumbup: I'm sure things are going to go well. That's a great looking stepped bolster Barlow and the wood is beautiful. :thumbup:
 
Man these are sweet! For those interested in reading more about them, there's more information on this page of Evan's site: http://esnyx.com/esnyx-essentials.php

Also you should read up on how they got to this Rosewood in the old factory. That's all on the JBF Champlin website. There's some good reading and lots of pictures.
 
Evan, beautiful knife and congratulations on your new brand and first run.
 
Congratulations Evan! Pam was telling me that she overheard some talk at the Rendezvous.
She keep telling me Evan has a new knife coming out and I keep saying that's great, if he
had anything to do with it it will be 1st Rate! That is a beautiful prototype. We wish you
the best in your endeavor. And I wish I had some MORE MONEY;):rolleyes::D:D
 
You're in the right place, this will take off I'm sure of it Evan. Really, really nice.
 
WOW!! What a super looking barlow! CPM 154, no less. :eek: Very, very nice. :):):):)

Congrats on the new line Evan!:thumbup::thumbup:

Evan-glad to see you doing well. You already have some uniqueness in your work that sets you apart. All the best!
 
I dig the stepped look and that's some gorgeous wood. Beautifully executed clip as well, juuust the right amount of curve.

Very, very well done piece. Congrats on your success, it's certainly earned! :thumbup:
