Everyone's latest acquisitions!

Here's an update on my latest works in progress. Like others here, I've gone through phases and lately it's trying out making a knife or lapel pins (the amount of work on grinding and fitting is somewhat similar at times, painting is it's own challenge). Left is an EKI Commander lapel pin, Spyderco Shabaria charm, and CS Desperado Charm that I'm finishing up a sheath for.

My newest is the SAK Pioneer.

Just look at that sick integral steel bolster!

Now that is an integral bolster! Very nice.

Two really cool knives came in today. Hopefully they'll hold me over until the Whippersnapper is ready, lol.

First to come in was a pretty special one. A Solingen made Boker barlow featuring damascus steel forged by Chad Nichols out of parts from a WW2 M4 Sherman tank! So cool. The knife also features brown burlap Micarta covers... And a really awesome integral steel bolster/liner!

Just look at that sick integral steel bolster!

Next is a Hogue Deka in MagnaCut steel and Arctic Storm Fat Carbon. I hate the Cerakote and will probably end up blasting and stonewashing it. Other than that, I can't say anything negative about the knife whatsoever. Really nice action, excellent grind (sharp!), great fit and finish. Just an all around really good knife.

I think this is the first Hogue that I've ever seen that I actually want. That is amazing. Wow.

I finally got around to getting the Boker Plus Kwaiken Air that's been on my list for a while now. It's got a titanium handle, 3.5" blade of VG10 steel, and it was designed by Lucas Burnley. I've noticed some clearance sales of Boker knives lately by several North American retailers I deal with, so I'm not sure what's going on there. This is an ideal knife for people who like the idea of the CKRT CEO, but want better materials and more knife.

That Timberline tho...

Those were definitely the basis for the new scale release above it though...the scales obviously came from the same molds

So the Timberline was before the Vallotton custom?

The second version, yes...or at least concurrently. The first version at the bottom of the pic with the button-under-inlay trigger has different inlay shapes as well as texture pattern and feel. The early one is very rubbery like kraton while the Timberline ones are kind of plasticy and harder.

 

[Chefget]

Thanks, and that's a beautiful quartet!

NOW we're talking. Man, these new Cruwear Adamas' have really taken up that view that I used to have about Cold Steel knives. Amazing value for the money.

This just arrived on my doorstep, Cold Steel Tai Pan, and it showed up razor sharp and just plain wicked looking

The balance point is just behind the guard, very well done piece.
