Here is the first Mid-Tech Tanto point Raven. Same overall specs and materials as the Spearpoint model. This particular knife has a "Bark" finish on the flats.

Sorry for the poor pictures, I need a new camera!

Hey Rob,
If you need some quality photos, let me know. I just got the same camera that Shelby Chan has. He does Strider's photos. I promise I can get you some good shots. I'm getting pretty decent at it. I can always use the practice. It helps to do the macro type shots when I have to take pictures of my architecture models. I get the practice, and you might get some good shots of your knives. Let me know.
BTW, very nice piece of kit there.
 
Call it Backwoods Yuppie with an Attitude! :)

I like it Rob! Definitely going to need to know the "how to" on that finish. I have to think DLC would make that even more striking. Nice knife.
 
Rob,

I second the HOW TO thing on the bark finish??? ;) Great looking knife!!

Any snow up there yet???

Ryan, thanks for the offer man, I will certainly need some good digital photos for the web site. Between you and Terrill I will be covered good there! I saw your bug picture, cool stuff! Here is a picture of my resident shop Cookie Spider having dinner.

Matt D, thanks for the call. :)

Jerry, I am going to try some with DLC and a couple with DLC Camo to see how they look. Good talking to you today man, lets see some sword pictures or other cool stuff here man!

Neil, it is a super secret process to get the Bark finish, but I will write you an email so you can laugh yer ass off! :D Yeah, we got snowed on but just a bit, it didnt stick in the valley here. We are at about 5000 but it issticking at 5300 or so but it wont last, at least I hope not yet!

:)

Hey Rob, just send them bad boys down here man! I will take you some good pics;)
I had the "Bark" Finish on a couple of my knives at Blade... That skin on S30V is pretty damn uniform aint it Rob??;) Its a very difficult process Neil, and Jerry.. DOnt even attempt it..HAHAHAHA

BTW Jerry, the ones I had were Boron Carbide coated, and it DOES look very cool!
 
Trace, I am sending some off for DLC and camo this week sometime with the bark finish. (Or is it no finish at all?) :p Trace, you had this finish coated?
