Looky What I Found

Hiding spot, G-spot .......Skunk you are the man to locate some rare if not mythical places :thumbup: :p
 
this blade was worked on during two generations of steel hearts. when it was being made the machinery blew up and took off jerry's left hand.

it was never finished until after the ergo-s came out. the logo is a ergo logo in reverse in remembrance of what's left of jerry's hand.

rumor is this blade is possessed by all the spirits jerry has drank :eek:

true story!

i have to keep this locked up in a special place, it keeps trying to get out to find jerry. he never sleeps at night for fear it will show up at his front door, or under his bed.

hence the reason he only sleeps during the day in his office.

The roots of that story go back to when Skunk was living in the Height Ashbury area of San Francisco in the 1960's and doing a lot of ACID.
 
i can make jerry mess himself just by showing it to him at the various shows.

handle is a very dark/blackish micarta (prolly blood stained), smooth coat with polished spine.

SH38 - Idahoskunk's Black Steel Heart.

Definitely not a refurbish job. Notice the flat coating? The blade was ground, heat-treated, coated, and then never finished due to circumstances . . .

It was originally drilled for bolts. When it came time to handle it, we used carbide to enlarge the holes. It was sent in to the company who was doing our laser engraving at the time, in order to see how the coating would react to the laser. It reacted quite well. It is the first knife that we ever had laser etched and is, to my knowledge, the ONLY Steel Heart II with the circled logo. Notice the incomplete circle at the bottom of the logo? I believe that that is unique as well. Many of the After Shocks had this same circled logo.

You are looking at a knife that began production in early 1998 and didn't reach completion until quite a while later.

Nice find!

That one belongs in its own special display case me thinks...

I'll bet Skunk's got a whole underground secret vault where he stashes INFI blades like these... :D
