Let's see your W.A. Surls Knife!

My 5 yr. old daughter had her tonsils out today, was really not in a good mood and definitely was not feeling her best. Her favorite color is red and I may have mentioned how much she loves unboxing and checking out new knives but pictures tell a better story. Here she is with her WA Surls Cherry Bomb Big Palmer that arrived today from DLT (great timing too)

I told her that a really nice man name Allen made the knife. She loves the sparkles in the cherry bomb burlap and she was especially interested to know, "How did he do this part?" (the "spalting")

Thanks Allen & DLT!

Went on a mini mission to get a couple future knives for my daughters (red for one, blue for the other as mentioned before) and here's what I came up with so far. I may have to keep the RMN for myself and find something else for her. My excuse is that it is too big. lol

On another note, some of you might be wondering what the Cherry Bomb Burlap looks like. Some folks mentioned flecks or sparkles before so I tried capturing how that looks from different angles. It shows up more in the sun and they're gold, not white.

You have a couple of lucky daughters Jerry. My preference leans toward the Cherry Bomb, but the Arctic Ice looks very cool (frigid?) too.

Phillip, that is a spectacular addition to your Electric Orange collection. Allen did an amazing job on that one! :thumbup:

thats a nice looking knife warrior108

Thanks! Would it be correct to assume that Electric Orange and Tangerine are different?

Very nice Jerry!

Thanks! I like the name too ;-)


Redid the profile a bit with the Edge Pro (even flattened the stones beforehand) giving a double bevel and then did some smoothing/polishing with the strops to get it close to convex. Edge came out real nice.

Cool, thanks! I picked up an Electric Plum Palmer that has those flecks and the Cherry Bomb isn't called "electric" but I think it has the same flecks. Good to know!
