My January Batch is Finished...

[Fletcher Knives]

This is a good batch.

First, some group shots.

Everything all together.

The Hatchula, Hatchula II, and Bush Operator XL's from this batch...

Some fancy Delta-4's and Pocket Kilos.

This is the Hatchula II. This one is special. It got an extended tang for beating children senseless.

Here's a slick Hatchula...

A B&G (Blood & Guts). This one features my new style of swedge. This swedge is much better for penetration.

A couple of Pocket Kilos...

Here are a couple of Delta-4's. One of these is super special. It has green canvas micarta over orange G10 with black paper micarta liners. The green canvas micarta is rough, while the orange G10, liners and tang are polished. It also has an extended tang for beating kittens to death.

Now onto the special no-no bits. These are the knives that were made for me, Andy, and the other two are being saved for Blade Show.

The Bush Operator XL with natural canvas micarta over black paper micarta liners and black fiberglass pins is mine.
The Bush Operator with polished ivory paper micarta over natural canvas micarta and natural canvas micarta pins is Andy's birthday present.
The Tango and Delta-4 are for Blade Show.
The Tango has polished black and grey G10 over black canvas micarta with blue vulcanized liners and black fiberglass pins.
The Delta-4 has polished Bloodwine and black Dymondwood scales with black fiberglass pins.

The Ghost Scale came out especially awesome on this one.

I was sceptical of this Dymondwood, but it came out really nice.

ALRIGHT! That's it. Hope you guys enjoyed the show. Everyone who had a knife in this batch with dibs on it had an email sent to them a little while ago so check your emails. Thatnks for checking them out.

PEACE OUT!

That is a Great Batch! you have been busy... I recently came to appreciate Dymondwood, it is very stable, durable and easy to work. Just have to stay away from the crazy colors out there!

I really, REALLY like Andy's Birthday present!

 

[punisherD1]

lovn the hatchula's. that style is on my need list too

 

[Fletcher Knives]

Yeah, the Dymondwood seemed a little weak when I first started working with the block I used here. When I cut the block into scales, it seemed to chip and splinter on the edges easily, but once you have the sharp edges gone and put the work into it, it comes out really nice and I trust it enough for regular knife use. It also seems plenty stable and just as good as any of the other tough natural materials.

Great looking batch. I love the Delta 4 with the thick orange G-10 sides and the multi-hole handle. I really do love this knife. Well done. Is it for sale or is it for someone?

That is some great work. American craftsmanship is the backbone of the country. It takes real talent and skill to produce such fine blades. Thanks for sharing.

These were all "dibs" knives.


Thanks for the compliments guys!

Great stuff there, I like all of 'em. The (etch? ) blade finish on the natural micarta sculpted handled knife is really cool.
