Today I just picked up this beauty from Ray.
The picture does not illustrate just how cool this knife is.
The Warlock, is a new model, that I conceptualized, which is a cross between his Companion and Chupie. Mine features satin finished Ti. liners and bolsters, carbon fiber scales, and a BG-42 blade profile.
The really cool things about this knife are the details. The liners and bolsters are machined from a sinlge piece of Ti, and the pocket clip is recessed into the c.f. scales. It also features Ray's "pocket hook" opening, which is similar in concept to the Emerson wave. It's a very cool knife to open and play with.
Since Ray is about 30 mintutes north in Everett, I was able to pick this knife up in person, and get to meet the maker. Ray was a very friendly guy (as are most all knife makers). He took me into his smithy, where he had another blade for my knife (he said he always makes two). He then proceeded to pound the blade into a 2"x2" piece of wood, then got an amazingly large pliars and proceeded to twist the hell out of the blade. I was amazed how resiliant his blade was. ***he obviously told me I should really try this with my knife
***
Upon my request Ray took about 20 digital pictures of the knife as he built it. I'm going to work on updating my website to include this knife.
