Joey P fighter in Hawaiian Mango

Mango is definitely on my wood radar now.

Looks great! I'm sure it feels great, too!

The Mango has a cool tiger stripe, really handsome wood. Love the mirror polish/satin finish detail on the guard.

Anxious to see each of these as they hit the finish line. I like that they are a series yet there is a level of individuality present. Nice touch, Nick!

Now THAT is a serious knife--and seriously beautiful. Wow! :thumbup:

Good to see you posting up more of your incredible work, Nick.

Go ManGo!

Great looking knife Nick.
Clean and conservative and no flaws that I can see.
Beautiful work.

 

[Allen Newberry]

Looks great!

 

[NickWheeler]

Thanks fellas.

I think they're all pretty darn close...but the difference in materials definitely makes a huge visual change. I won't deny the possibility of some very slight variances across the group though... contrary to popular belief, I am not a robot. LOL

Thanks for all the support guys!

Super Slick Nick. I like it!

Mango is definitely on my wood radar now.

I would agree with this. I will have to keep my eyes out for the right piece of Mango.

Excellent work Nick!

We haven't seen you in Custom and Handmade's in a while! I for one am glad to see you back. Your work is awesome :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Nice to see that you still make knives occasionally as time permits. And thanks for sharing that one here.

I have a question about that mango wood. Did it need to be stabilized, or is it used in its natural state?

TIA!

Just gorgeous, as usual.

 

[William Schrade]

New Job? I thought you were a full time maker. I guess you had to get a job to feed the dogs.

 

[Salem Straub]

Crisp and clean as always! Really nice knife and wood, and it's good to see you posting, Nick!

Ok, how did I miss this thread! Nick your work is always excellent. Thank you so much This is a beautiful knife.

 

[Willie71]

I agree with the others. I've done about 10 knives with the mango, and pictures do not show it properly. It has amazing chatoyance. :thumbup:

Nick's work is amazing as always.

Hey guys-


I'm still kick'n and getting in the shop as much as I can... Unfortunately, that hasn't been very much with the new job. But better slowly than not at all (or so I keep telling myself! ).

Just so anybody that cares, can see I haven't fallen off the face of the earth: Here's a Joe Paranee fighter in Mango from my friend Mark Farley at It's A Burl. My friend Greg picked out the wood...clearly, he has very good taste!

Thanks for checking it out guys.

ps- soon up, Ironwood and Koa...
