This is my first custom folder, made by Chuck Gedraitis. It has a 3.5 hollow ground A2 blade that is wickedly sharp and heat colored titanium scales.

I can't tell you how much I love this knife:thumbup: It is exactly everything I always wanted and I'm looking forward to using it for all kinds of stuff. This won't be a safe queen---I've already cut a bunch of stuff with it, including my finger!

FYI, Chuck (a BF member) was great to work with. I suspect this won't be the last Chuck Gedraitis knife I buy, although I can't imagine another knife being more satisfying than this one.

That's a beauty of a first custom! You're in trouble now!
 
That is a very nice looking folder! Did you let Chuck run with it or was it a colaboration?Either way, very Top Shelf!

It was somewhat of a collaboration--we communicated back and forth about the specific things I really wanted in the design (Ti frame lock, blade hole, tip-up, etc.) but the overall look and feel of it were all Chuck's design. I think he did a fantastic job of knowing what I wanted almost as well as I did: this knife fits me like nothing I've ever handled.
 
Although not too fond of the "psychedelic" thing going on with the handles, that's a really nice and handy-looking folder! With an A2 blade and framelock no less!
 
That is one groovy looking knife you got there. Lovely blade shape and very functional looking hole. You gotta let us know how it performs after some use. I've always been rather curious about A2.
 
Nice score! :thumbup:

Getting hold of one of Chuck's knives is on my "wish list", so I'm envious... :p
 
That's a cool knife! I'd prefer a little more low profile colour scheme myself but otherwise it looks very handy. That's a great blade profile too ....

Its great that you are carrying and using it. Every time I buy a custom I get nervous about damaging it that it gets left at home. :rolleyes:
 
Very nice blade... glad it's gonna get some pocket carry time. I look forward to seeing more of his work.
