What kind of knife is this? I would like to see before/after.

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured out it was a Pingo!!

You do amazing work. I could quote almost all of your work. But this one, it's just ...

Those are some beautiful scales on an awesome knife. Looks great.
Thanks for sharing.

I've had this material for a while now.
But, I have had no time to use it! I made these today.
Can you see the texture on these?
It feels like felt! It's hard to get a lot of the detail to show in the pics with this light.

Keyman, what is this exotic material?? I am intrigued to say the least. Did you machine it or do the work by hand?? I really have to try making scales myself. Im always inspired by this thread. Cheers to all the craftsman out there doing their thing :thumbup:

Man those are beautiful ! Which model is that smaller one?
Thanks

Fantastic work. I'm loving that farmer!

my attempt at making some knives personal. I have the pictures in other threads, but I thought this is a nice thread to show them in.


I haven't finished these scales yet, they are still rough and lack the finishing treatments. it's a benchmade 580 barrage.

as close to a mirror polish as I could get. it's my favorite user.

Amazing!! How did you do this?

It's called Damagrip.
This particular pattern they call Desert Raindrop.
It's a type of canvas micarta that is sold by one of the on line knife supply company's.
Scales were made all by hand, with hand tools. No CNC.

Just finished this Benchmade last night, was a fun little project.

Amazing!! How did you do this?

Are you talking about the mirror finish?

I think I used 800 grit wet sandpaper first, and then 1200. I used a dremmel and some polishing paste. It worked out surprisingly well.

The tiger stripes looks nice! Are they just on the surface, or do they go deeper?

it's on the surface, but lasts a LONG, LONG time. Duracoat takes about 4 weeks to cure but once it is fully cured, it's crazy strong!

Here is my OD-1 with polished blade and orange standoffs. Still working on the scale although can't seem to get the clearance right with the flipper mechanism

 

[Brew-Jitsu]

The black with green dots would go perfect with my Glock that now has tritium night sights... very cool.

I've wanted to do that for a long time, great job on that.

Darken the clip on Sanrenmu 763 and Enlan EL02. Cut the spine to 'wave' them. Freehand sharpen and strop/polish the blade.

EL08 had the clip removed and nothing else.
