Here are some quick pics of what I have in progress... I have some orders going on as well, pics of them later.


Green with purple accent - the lighting really needs to be better to show this one

I have a few Ti Bottle Opener Knives in the works. And one Ti knife, lol.

Everything I'm showing is still in progress...

Swedged/Compound Ground Ti B O K - hard to see in this photo but it is bronze with a bit of blacklight purple

Ti Backpackers! Just out of stonewash. I'm really happy with the finish on these.

Yes! Been waiting for the Ti backpackers... my first trip is in two weeks (hint!). Think green to blue Daniel... green to blue.... green to blue ;)
 
First of all that Purple CC is insane! Great annodizing. Second of all i love the backpacer design, will there ever be a folder with that blade design? Could be amazing. Later Daniel.
 
It's official,between the kiridashi and the backpacker you now have a new fan!
Now I am checking your form everyday to see what's next and when they will come available.
Nice work!
Btw I think you have more snow than we do. It's been a bad snow year compared to last years record breaker. Oh well we still have a few more months.

Thanks! You should see it in person, the washed out photo does it no justice.

Folder with Ti Backpacker blade... sounds cool to me, will see! I like that wharnie influenced style a lot.

I made a friction folder with that blade style that I carry a bunch...

Thanks! Welcome!!!

I had a slow start this year with the flu but am getting back into action now! The grinder has been running almost non stop so look out for new releases soon.

It has been an odd low snow year here but keeps on snowing.... hopefully we will get a decent amount by the end of Winter. ...But evenly spaced out so I don't have to snowblow! lol gotta take the snowboard to work every day

Mucho! I am a big fan of Ti and excited to be getting these knives out!

The Ti Backpacker is the ultralight camping, hiking, diving, fishing, backup, boating and backpack knife I have been planning forever! It weighs almost nothing and the carbide keeps on cutting! The handle takes a cord wrap too, it is easy to wrap or remove.
 
I've got my orange paracord, orange kydex, and orange fire rod all set up and ready to for one of those backpackers.
 
On the other hand, I'm also having an easy time seeing that bronze>purple unit suited up with some clear Holstex™ (maybe even with the texture buffed out, and a good dose of polish so it's REALLY clear), and a little purple paracord on the grip...

You *know* if nobody else snatches them up, I'm buying everything you'll sell me :D

And SOOOOOOOOOOOO jealous of your snow. We've had almost nothing here. I used to love cold, and now I think I'm over that- but I still love snow. There's nothing like a city of 4 million, completely still, and under 3 feet of pure white snow. Almost makes it worth living in a coastal hellhole sometimes.

Man that sounds cool! I had seriously considered the clear holstex for these but have not worked with any yet. You can get purple chicago screws too! Your sheaths are looking really good by the way.


It's still snowing lightly, deciding which board to take to the shop here. :D
 
Thanks for the compliment. I'm just trying to do your blades justice, so I hope they're adequate.

I'll probably cough up for 100 purple screw sets if I go that route. MC2 has sold me plenty of stuff just so I could get one or two of each color. I did an orange holster for a 1911, and a desert camo and OD set for a buddy, and matched the screws to each one. Anyone interested in 98 sets of orange, green or brown Chicago screws? :p

Man those sheaths are cool...

Knifekits might have what you want on the screws if you just need a few.
 
They have some screws, but not the color selection, and unfortunately not the 3/8" post height I like, so I can add some layers of material outside the rivets. I think MC2 is the only place for those, but they've done great by me as far as shipping speed and cost.

Can't wait for you to post up the back packers. Great ano on the cc's

I molded up the kydex on some and carbidized all of them yesterday. I should have a few available soon!

I was working on the CC knives today, those pics do them no justice! I am going for better lighting when they are complete as the anodizing is probably my best yet.

I need to strop them and get good pics then they are ready to go! I did the carbide to go with each anodizing, they were really fun for me.
