Joey P fighter in Hawaiian Mango

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! :D
 
Great looking knife Nick.
Clean and conservative and no flaws that I can see.
Beautiful work.
 
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! :) :cool:
 
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!
 
Beautiful job Nick - glad to see you are getting some shop time:thumbup:

Mango can be really cool if you find the right piece !

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