Thank you all for the compliments and well wishes! This is a very exciting new route for me, and I will be interested in seeing how this project goes.
 
Beautiful execution Evan, hopefully I got in on the list in time. Would love to see one in hand and witness your work.

Those stepped bolsters look astounding and I love that it's in one of my favourites 'CPM 154' Really an amazing nod to the knives of years and years ago.

Best of luck on this new venture Evan. I know you well enough to know you won't let a knife leave the shop if it's anything less than stellar!
 
Evan.
You are doing what I only wish I could do. That's s great knife- are you going to stamp all your knives Esntl?

Good to hear, Evan. I also checked out your website, and I have to say, your an inspiration to people like myself. Ive been re-handling my own pocket knives
for awhile now, and haven't taken it to another level, like yourself. It is really great, on what you have accomplished in such a short time. You obviously have
the talent, and the bug. Keep it up! I look forward in getting something made from you.
 
Evan,

Exciting news indeed!

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.

Out of curiosity (and in light of your new and constantly-evolving frontiers): how do you classify your modified knives, especially those that range from GEC knives with swapped-out (GEC) blades, through knives with GEC blades that you (re)created around them, and so forth? What of my spectacular blue formerly-Case peanut? Would you now classify it/them as ES-N-TL, had you had the paradigm and name in place? They would seem to fit, right down to the Peters heat treat. :)

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 Cattaragaus factory building in Little Valley, NY.

They won't be asking you to spell it on your own, right? :D

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

Beautiful work, indeed!

Evan,
I am glad that I was able to see the prototype folder in person last month.
The knife is BEAUTIFUL, and has a GREAT feel in hand.
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
Good luck with this project, Evan. I hope to see your knives everywhere I look!!
 
That wood is fantastic! I don't think you need luck, keep churning out those beauties
 
This is a very cool project. I am excited to see this.
 
Very nice looking.

The only thing that would make it even more appealing is to have ES-N-TL mark stamped on the bolsters (I love a stamped bolster!)
 
You've got a great eye. I haven't seen any blades that you've done that I don't like. This is a BEAUTY! AWESOME bolsters and blade stamp. I one day want to own one of these works of art. Congrats!
