... the Andy Roy custom piece for Knife Rights? Or did I miss it all?

This is one spectacular jaw-dropper.

I think I recall seeing the beginning stages of that piece in a thread somewhere in the past year. Whether it is the same one or not, that turned out great!!
 
That turned out fantastic. The spalting in particular is off the charts.

If they ever make a sequel to "The Book of Eli", that blade deserves a starring role.

Awesome work Andy!!

That would be the best blade of the whole bunch to win. I have a couple entries to win from round one. Great cause with some really unique custom blades in there.

I think he's just funnin' with us, it's a winner's pick drawing... and I don't think it's even held for another week and a half!

... and even when it is, the winners get to pick in order of their drawing, and they get 48 hours to do it, so Lord only knows it could actually take a couple months to know who won what!

The spalting is off the charts, but I think all of the tiny beauty mark mosaic pins contrasting against the plain black micarta is what does it for me.
 
The Sirupate is an amazing blade. I've gotten to handle one of the finished ones and I think I have played with a blank every time I have stopped by the shop since the model was introduced last year. It feels great and has excellent inertia development. I would love to play with one in a bamboo forest. That one in particular really is gorgeous, and it really is for a great cause.

You mean this isn't a one off? I haven't seen anything on this model!

It just begs to chop... stuff. You know?
 
I've made three Sirupates. Its loosely based on a khukuri design. I'm glad y'all like it. Its the kinda thing you hold and a sense of 'be careful' washes over you. Doug talked me out of it. I owed him for some help he gave me in pranking Allen last year. Of course, thats when Gene Baskett got on the mike and shut down the guild social and had the doors barred because they thought Allens knife had been stolen.

I really like that you didn't go full kukri on it. IIRC the sirupate-pattern kukris tend to have longer, slimmer, shallower blades, but I think with the room for a full two-handed grip that you have on yours that the very slight recurve without the exaggerated forward balance is a better choice.
