Wow, Josh! I don’t even know what to say…. That turned out so amazing! Drop dead gorgeous!

I literally bought a new wall mounted display case for it and a few of the others from you.

I’m STOKED for this one!

Beautiful piece and you deserve it more than anyone ... karma

Well dang that is beautiful.

The scales/handle have me curious.... Just epoxy? Hidden studs? Inquiring minds want to know!

Hidden pins. The cocobolo was just too pretty/rare to drill some holes into.

 

[REK Knives]

Yep we discussed and sent with hidden pins and a lanyard delete

Good calls all the way around.

I thought this was the best place to post this even though there is a Q in there…

I have one more in the mail, a Sparrow!

Obviously, I like Josh’s work.


The leather sheaths are from Duramax (for the Q) and from EMCEE for the 3” Ember.

The Ember 2.5 in hand-rubbed, dark wash MagnaCut and cocobolo burl is in! Holy cow! Josh absolutely NAILED the execution of this build. It is breathtakingly beautiful, and should make for one heck of an every day carry! I think this is my favorite Ember build of all. The 2.5 rounds out my Ember collection too.

Want.

 

[Murphjd25]

Congrats Brian! That’s a heck of an Ember collection!!!

 

[Fixall]

I've gotta get a better pic when the weather clears, the lightbox just isn't the same!

All are CPM-MagnaCut.

The 2.5 is cocobolo burl with hidden pins/lanyard delete.
The 3.0 is vintage Westinghouse green canvas Micarta from Bob Loveless's shop (thus the red liner and Loveless bolts) with an african blackwood bolster.
The 3.5 is desert ironwood with a cf shred bolster, cf pins, and red G10 liners.

The 2.5 is such a great knife. It’s in my pocket practically everyday. One of only a handful of knives that I have a duplicate of.

 

[abraves]

Gonna start carrying the 3.5 and see how it does. I really like how slim it is in my Pirtle pocket sheath.

 

[abraves]

Brought the sheepsfoot out today. I may like it better than the drop point.

 

[Blues]

The drop point is prettier, but the sheepsfoot is what I carry pretty much daily.

(That said, they are two of my favorite 3" blades, suitable for neck or pocket carry and both part of what I consider to be the "permanent collection".)

I agree. Maybe a sheepsfoot with a swedge?

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

Like this?

REK 3.0 Sheepsfoot Ember. Damacore blade with swedge, black antique rag micarta scales with red liners, blackened brass flair tubes and lanyard tube.
