Going back to my roots here. Ground (not tumbled) Delta 3V at HRC 62, Arizona Desert Ironwood, custom made "Azula Gun Holsters" leather sheath. Azula Gun Holsters" warranties their work for life.

I'm using titanium screws because they have a bigger head which will work better with the wood over time. I turned the heads on the lathe with polycrystalline diamond tooling for teh pretty...

It's otherwise a standard 3" EDC2, however I think this is the only one out there (yet) that is fully ground. We'll do about 25 of these CPK "Classics" in total.

We're finishing this now. Pictures to come...




soooo chatoyant

Most beautiful work of art ever (with sheath) $395
Shipping $12

If you don't hear angels sing and then weep with joy upon receipt you can return it for a full refund.



We're going to make about 25 of these. They're all a little different. Some are prettier than others. Rather than grade them I'm considering just documenting them with pictures and letting you folks determine what they're worth with some "1 penny, no reserve" auctions. However BF does not allow auctions so we'd probably do this over on the bay? I'm open to discussion here.

Thanks for looking. We enjoyed making this. Except machining the wood. We hated that sooo much... But otherwise this was a work of love. Mostly.

As much as I'd like to buy this beauty - I don't have the scratch for it right now (unless you want to trade some other EDCs :D). It has been forever since I've participated in a Fun Friday Sale, so I figured I'd jump in here just to say Hi!

That hand-ground finish looks so damn classy combined with that polished Desert Ironwood and polished fasteners. I love how you managed to keep the small "scallop"(?) texturing on the scales, too!

This is a true "Gentleman's CPK?EDC"

No lanyard hole for these "Classics"?
 
Translation: I'll take it, but I don't dare edit my post in case of internet meltdown. ;)
 
How about we keep it on the forum and we grade them into 3 - 4 groups/prices?
How different are they in their beauty?

ETA: are the differences in the wood only or blade grind/finish as well?

I see they have a micarta liner to the ironwood handle along with screws. Will these handles be able to be removed/swapped/replaced?
 
Okay. But how do you pronounce that? :D

:D It's more of a fun friday feeling, that little jump your heart makes when you see the input post form and you hear the angel chorus outside the window when the sun ray hit's the return key. That kind of feeling...

It could also be the sound Casino makes when I scratch the finish opening a can of beans. That kind of sound. ;)
