I heard somewhere the mop was in! Now it's confirmed
That knife is really nice. RJ Martin rocks the house.

 

[Jon Brand]

Thats cool. Nice meeting you the other day!

More details needed. Who's damascus, and what's it made of?

R.J. just kicked it up another notch, it seems. :thumbup:




Oh yeah, almost forgot. Stabber, you SUCK!

 

[Kevin Jones]

Looks like Nichols to me.

knice knife RJ, however I must say I would much prefer the MOP be secured by some other means instead of the large black torx screws.

Kind regards,

AHA! RJ was in my studio as we shot a few others. He said there was a sweeeet one in pearl, now gone. Couldn't have gone to a better guy!

R.J. just kicked it up another notch, it seems. :thumbup:

According to RJ, this is a full framelock version of his Q-36. Flipper and profile. When he was asked to make one simply out of ti slabs, compared to his traditional Q-36 with thick liners, he said: "That would be overkill, though...!"

He he he! Exactly.

I won the draw yesterday....

RJ finally made the transition to a lottery draw. :thumbup: Good for HIM! He has a sidesplitting story about this, too. I'll let him tell it.

Rich, it''s ALWAYS a pleasure chatting with you. Always too little time for me, as I am busy doing my shtick. Thanks for the shout out.

Hi Stabber: It was with great delight that I drew your number! The lotteries definitely worked well as far as giving the Friday and Saturday attendees a shot at buying a knife. It was a new experience for me, and now that I have seen how lotteries work and what can happen, I will make some small adjustments for the ECCKS.

Seceredthumbs-As far as securing the pearl with screws, I have had a few comments about that, and I underatand-It's a matter of personal taste.
Because the knife is truly overbuilt, there is a construction screw under the inlay that I might need to access in the future, so having the ability to remove the scale is a must. I actually expect people to carry and use this knife, so at some point the frames might need re-finishing.

Personally, I find the contrast between the black screw heads and the brilliant white of the pearl attractive. Also, it is a LARGE inlay and being that pearl is, well, pearl, I don't want it shattering if the knife is dropped or banged. But I will ponder this and see if an alternate solution is possible.

The Damascus in the NYCKS OVERKILLS was Rob Thomas SS Typhoon pattern, which I like because it is not too "loud" and seems to fit into the overall look of the knife very well.

Jason-It was a pleasure meeting you and your beautiful bride at the gathering. Hopefully we can have more opportunities to talk knives in the future.

Coop-I cannot wait to see your awesome montages.......!

Thanks,

RJ Martin
