Dan Good lookin little knife!

What do you mean 154CM Nitro`ed? I know of nitre-blue salts but I cant tell if the blade is blued? What are those interesting other things in the picture tht appear to be handle sections? Curious people like me need to know these things.

 

[RHINOKNIVES]

very oridginal design. tell us more.

 

[Danbo]

I love it! Looks like a super neck knife. I would like to see a better picture of the knife all by itself.

Sorry Bruce
not blued Nitrogen soaked -300
  it's mirror polished but looks dark.

MikeS the inlays are brass pins placed vertically.
then when the handle is contoured there you have it.

not much to say about it just
sometimes between orders
I like to just do something out of my head.

thanks Guys.

 

[mikeS]

Thanks. I got the idea now.

Dan: Someone said at the hammer-in that "you where out of your head". Oh!! No it was "mind", sorry.

there's enough room in there for another brain
of course it will have to be the same size
as the one I have now to fit..Ideas just float around
in there.
I just got back from lamonts,
(DamASSsteel) Damascus delivered.

Dan: Was the pieces big enough for you guys. I am looking forwad to seeing the billet that we are working on with the cable, nickle, 15N20 and 1084 core. If it comes out the way I think, it will be one pretty collaberation knife.

Dan that's a mouthful for such a petite little beauty. But looks like she'd sting! That's a great knife - aside from the fantastic overall lines, touches like the pins along the spine and the proud pins in the handle are really special. This is the kind of work that makes me want to make knives, and a real inspiration to me. Thanks for sharing that sweet knife.

Thanks Dave
the Ivory Micarta is a bear to keep clean
with the Brass there while working it.
That's the hardiest thing on it I think.
I'll need to do a tread on it to see how others
handle it.

Geoooorge you didn't tell me it had
nickel, 15N20 and a 1084 core
what am I going to do with you?
another 1/4" wider and I'd make something scairy
is lamonts the same? he should know..you know
you know..
He sounded pleased.

Dan: Lamont's is just cable.

 

[Dan Gray]

Danbo
see if the picture is better for you now.
I changed..
it's with the sheath.

 

[Danbo]

Great pic. Great knife. Like I said, it looks like a super duper neck knife to me.

 

[indian george]

Thats a more better to me
