So I love working with brightly colored things. One of my favorite producers of this kind of stuff if the company Raffir.
Some time ago I had some offcuts of various versions of their materials. I forged out a blade for it, made a bolster and turned it all in to a knife.
I had Caleb Royer edit a picture. And to my surprise was contacted by mr Steve Shackleford who wanted to feature my knife in the March issue.
Now that that's done with you can find the article on page 82 of de March issue.
And here's the picture that Caleb worked on. And a couple that show how different this stuff can look based on the lighting.

And here's some pics I took that show a few more variations of the handle material in different conditions.

Outdoors cold:
Indoors warm:
Outdoors warm:
Indoors, after being charged in the dark:
I know it might not be to everyone's taste and I totally understand the "mother of bowlingball" sentiment some people might have about it. But I had a lot of fun making this knife. And the new owner enjoys it a lot. So, no harm done either way. Some of the materials aren't made anymore by Raffir, so I suspect I'll never be able to make something like this anymore anyway.
