REK Ember fixed blade discussion thread

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

Beautiful Josh! Great eye for lines.

Some Desert Ironwood scales I just finished up... just look at that cpirtle sheath!

What do you mean “waited?” Good things come in twos.

We can set up automatic deposit of your paycheck into my account if you want...

Yeah sorry man, I woulda let you switch it up but it is sold!

These larger Embers with those awesome handles are killer. I really liked the lines of the Ember, but it was too small for my preferences. These larger sizes bring them into my world.

I know you're a great grinder, Josh, but those handles really pull it all together. So much nicer than G10 or carbon fiber.

You've moving in a good direction.

No worries Josh I'll wait for the stainless "utility " version for my 2nd Ember 3.5.

It's as if your designs have come of age; these new handles have transformed this knife into my most desired - stunning work.

Thanks guys, glad to hear the feedback! Yeah I think it's fun to introduce a 'new' model like this with something special. Keeps life interesting anyway!

Looks great in wood especially with that lanyard hole, nice place to get a little extra purchase.

Hey Josh will the "Utility " version of the 3.5 have removable scales like the little Ember?

Love those pics and lighting! Can really see that ironwood grain! Glad you like it brother

Josh, will the utility version of the 3.5 have the same convex edge?

No, it's a little more difficult to set it up that way so normally I do v edges. It was just a little something special for this batch

This is a thing of beauty Josh, thank you.
