REK Ember fixed blade discussion thread

[gunslinger387]

It's pouring outside today (finally), so you guys will have to settle for some low quality, indoor photos.

This knife is awesome!!! I couldn't have chosen a better combination of if I had input on the knife myself!

The grind is every bit as good as we've come to expect from REK Knives, and the satin finish REALLY sets off the swedge! Absolutely gorgeous. As great as the handle looks, it feels every bit as fantastic in the hand. I can't wait to take it hiking!

That is beautiful knife! Congrats

Merry Christmas everybody!
A little late to the party, but definitely going to get in on it real soon. Was wondering if any of you would want to chime in on some use that you've had with your Ember. Looking at, not really extreme use, but reckon durable use is better wording.
Pics are definitely useful for reference to please.

You got that one, eh?! That's a looker for sure.

Thanks buddy, I gave up my first custom Ember and I've missed it.
I'm actually planning on using this one.

Finished up this custom 2.5 for my cousin just before Christmas. It has brass pins/liners and features stabilized walnut and vintage green rag micarta from the 40's.

I don’t get how you continuously up your game the way you do. I feel like every time you drop an Ember I’m saying to myself “Ok, THAT one is my favorite!”

The combination of the green rag and brass is drop dead gorgeous!!

Thanks Brian! Yeah I love how it turned out too! I used tru-oil which I allowed to dry in between coats and it filled in the walnut pores/grain nicely!

I’m digging my new Ember 3.5 Magnacut. I like how the handle feels a little thicker, and the swedge is sweet! The kydex sheath is great too, but today I’m sporting a JouFuu ISP.

I just received one of these bad boys and have to say I’ll impressed with the whole package, the sheath isn’t bad but I believe Bill is going to get a call.

I know this post has a little age to it but I keep coming back to admire it. It is one of the finest looking knives I’ve seen on BF. That is some amazing functional art. Well done sir.

Been carrying the 3.5 this week and last week. Josh’s edge has been doing some straight damage to the miles of rubber pressure tubing I’ve been installing.

 

[REK Knives]

just finished up some 2.5's earlier today!

Man! Your work is so clean and precise!

I was finally able to get my hands on a 2.5 ... it's a little laser ... exactly what I would have expected. Hopefully someday I can get my paws on it's big brother in the 3.5.

Awesome knives Josh!

Thanks man! Glad you like it, no reason for a small knife to be over built!
