Good Razor Edge Knives & WValtakis

[J-RAY1989]

So I had WValtakis and Josh from @razor-edge-knives do some custom work for me on a Spyderco Advocate. I can't say enough how pleased I am with how everything turned out.

WValtakis did the anodizing on the scales. He also does all sorts of embellishment, so check him out if you need anything, you can direct message him here on bladeforums for inquiries. He was very good at communicating with me so we could figure out the colors and design for the scales. Really top notch.

Josh did the dlc coating. I really like this coating. It's smooth and doesn't have the sandpaper texture that other dlc has. He was really good at communicating with me explaining the options I had, to ensure I was getting exactly what I wanted. He also does sharpening, cerakote, regrinds, and a slew of other services. Check out his website for inquiries.

Thanks guys for taking my Advocate and making it truly one of a kind!

The pictures of the finished product come next. My only regret is that I didn't have Josh sharpen the blade, I instead decided to do a low grit hack job on my own while in a hurry. Don't mind the fingerprint and smears on the dlc blade. Haven't found a good cloth to wipe it down with yet.

That looks awesome all put together! Thanks so much for the shout out

Long time coming but it's finally done, and it looks fantastic.

That looks stellar, been wanting Chip to do some engraving then you throw anodizing in, I hope he has lots patience.

If I ever get that customization itch again, he will be the first person I talk to for sure.

It can't be posted up enough how lucky we are to have Chip and Josh as active BF members!

Sorry I haven't found anything for Chip to work his artistry on <yet> ...

But my favorite blade Josh totally REK'd for me...truly "scary sharp" with an apex so refined, it could circumcise an 8 day old baby gnat...

Awesome work and beautiful knife sir

Looks great! Your regret is the first thing that comes to my mind... it's screaming for the mirror final bevel that Josh does.

With chip (at least for me) just give him some ideas and he will work to make it happen with great results. I had no clue whatsoever when I messaged him. I wanted red, being my favorite color. He then explained the anodizing process and showed me why red was impossible, and worked with me to come up with colors and a design that was possible within the anodizing process. I can't say enough regarding his patience and willingness to work with someone who was at the time completely clueless. Kudos for him. Truly.

Both great members, and their knowledge of the craft is outstanding!
