Let's see your Osprey K/T

Dang Jerry, that thing looks awesome in your pictures. This was a really nice piece of Amboyna I got to put on this knife. I am almost sorry I didnt keep it :D Thank you for sharing

Thanks. Following some tips from Abe/Scotcha, I've been trying to do outdoor pictures more. Sunlight or even indirect sunlight seems to give better results than the various indoor attempts that I've tried.

I was going to joke and say that I'll sell it to you "cheap" but after owning/carrying it for the weekend, I'm pretty attached.
 
May have already shared some of these here, apologies if so.

Was curious how well it would burn while damp

I'm pleased to announce my first (and not last) knife from Chris showed up this week. After seeing many photos of Peter's OK/T Warthog and handling so many of Phil's Raptors, I knew I needed some of Chris' work. I've been searching for the right one for some time and through the gernousity of Phil during the 9/15 sales thread I was able to score a Mamushi in a one of my favorite OK/T configs. I am very impressed with the workmanship. The blue liners almost glow under the translucent G10. I love the hammered texture on the CPM154. The lines are flawless and the symmetry is perfect. No surprise, as I have held many of Chris' knives - but this one is mine! The knife is razor sharp out of the box. I haven't had it out for trial run yet, but I thought it went well with my KRISS for a first photo. More to come.

I am super happy you got your hands on that Mamushi, and are pleased with it. I know you have been wanting a peice of my work for awhile. I also thought it was pretty cool of Phil to help you snag it. Thank you for sharing your picture and thoughts with us, I have an little gun envy at the moment :D I have a weakness for fine weaponry. I look forward to seeing more from you and maybe more Ospreys in your possesion soon.
 
That is indeed a beautiful EDU Nathan......I really like how Chris outlined the burl with the white pinstripes :thumbup:
 
Thanks guys, Chris does an amazing job! I've really got to pick up a few more of his knives.
 
Nice Warthog family photo Jerry. I like the fact that they are all synthetic handles ranging from fancy looking to all business. :) Wood handles have not been good to me lately...:(

Thanks. My bog oak are being saved for the winter when it's not so bloody hot in TX and I got on a synthetic summer kick. Besides liking Chris' designs I also like CPM154 being his usual go-to. The Thunderstorm Kevlar is S135VN to boot (and the brass pieces in it are pretty cool).

I hope things start looking up for your wood ;-)
 
Warthog looking classy! As usual my photos don't capture the beauty of this Blackwood, in the right light the Avocado skin and wood look a similar shade.
