Ken Erickson Knives: A Retrospective

[black mamba]

I'm with Nasty. Just look at my handle . . . go with the black lip pearl.

I think Campbell nailed it: "but if you are going pearl, I'd go with black lip MOP".

thanks for the input guys! After sleeping on it and giving it careful deliberation------------------Ebony it will be.

Here is a quick and dirty progress picture. Bolsters/frames are milled, holes drilled for the scale pins/nails. Still a ton of work to go, fitting of the scales,shield(oval as the Remington has) swedging and tons of hand finish work.

Ken, I think it'll look even better with ebony - it doesn't need the *BLING* look of MOP.
This will be a great little knife!
Thanks for showing it

How I wish I could come to BLADE and see it (and the others) in person...

Nice pun Elliot.

 

[Joe Yach]

Great knife Ken. I really liked the blade length, like a full blade in a gents size frame.

 

[waynorth]

Lookin' like a dream come true, Ken!
There must be some real satisfaction in accomplishing that knife!!

Nice job Ken. Ebony was the right choice.
