There's a rumor that there's a 3.5" version coming soon

That's awesome!

What steel are you thinking Josh?

What steel are you thinking Josh?

Cruwear for the initial batch (custom run with satin finishes, more exotic scales, and leather sheaths (made by @cpirtle) ... Then next batch (production) will be in the new cpm magnacut (already snagged a sheet).

I just finished a couple of these lg. embers with stabilized poplar burl scales... doing one w/ walnut next!

 

[Big DJ]

Wow! When can I get one of those?

 

[einsteinjon]

WOW!

Putting in my request for osage orange.

Hey Josh will you do a "Utility" version of this 3.5" Ember? with grippy G10 scales and a stone washed or acid washed finish? It's my preferred size for a hunting knife. And maybe a leather Duramax or kydex beltloop sheath?

Yeah that's the plan!

Thanks brother!

Figured I'd post up a little wip on one of the large ember customs ...

So for scale glue up, this is what I do for maximum adhesion during the prep phase:

And just finished this piece today! Notice the convex edge blended into the flat grind, perfect for wood work and it's such a slicey grind!

 

[Big DJ]

That is a thing of beauty Josh.

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

My current Ember/Quarantine Bush setup for all interested.

 

[Big DJ]

Are you pocket carrying that setup or on your belt?

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

Inverted on my belt.

finished this one up yesterday... scales are from Travis Zumwalt, some buckeye burl w/ resin. Convex blended edge on this piece!

 

[Big DJ]

Beautiful, I can't wait to get one of these.
