First custom!!

[absolutindian]

Alright everyone, I've been smitten by a custom blade I came across on a bladesmith's website and I'm taking the plunge! You guys should check him out if you haven't already... His name is Robert Dark, and the work displayed in his galleries is absolutely fantastic. I cant WAIT to get this one in my hands. It's very similar to this knife below, which is also one of Robert's. The only differences are that mine will have solid stainless pins instead of the mosaic, the handle will be black/green micarta, and the sheath is black leather of the same design.

Check out his other works at http://www.darkknives.com/index.htm

You will not be disappointed! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

You made a great choice, Robert does excellent work. That should make a perfect field knife too. Congrats!

That is a beautiful straight forward design. Nice knife!

Nice first custom. You're spoiled now. Robert makes a gem!

Isn't it strange that all the decent looking knives show up on this forum where people that actually use them hang. Nah, perhaps not so strange.

Sweet design.

Looks like a great all purpose knife and its just begging to be used!;-)

I have a R. Dark, spring tine, stag handle that's sharp as a razor and I LOVE it. Robert does great work and his sheaths are top quality and he's a great person to work with as well.

Enjoy and post up some pics once you get it.

I love the finish on that handle. Looks really smooth and comfortable.
