I haven't named this model yet and I think I'm leaning towards "Demonic". I feel the knife has a bit of sinister grace to it, a little of the "bad" side, not to be confused with the "other" side, eh? I don't know, oh well.

This one is a custom order based off of my Build-off fixed blade. The fellah from the land down undah requested an 8" blade, I guess that makes it fall in the "now that's a knife" category... oh brother. All jokes aside, this is my second fixed blade, my biggest knife yet, although my folding filet is a mere .5" shorter. S30v blade steel, carbon fiber scales, and titanium bolsters help to put this one right in the "Tactical" arena. I have made sheaths for my dad years ago, so you'd think it should've been a cake walk for me. Well, unfortunately I feel this sheath is just par, not excellent, nothing fancy, just some good ole dyed leather, no stamping or anything. But hey, it serves its purpose! Thanks for looking, and this goes without saying but I'll say it anyway, all comments are very welcome and much appreciated. BTW, check out my write up in the August issue of Knives Illustrated, pgs. 74-76!!!:thumbup:

You've got to be kidding about that being only your second knife!

Good looking work by the way.
 
I think this is a very kewl looking piece. I love the grinds and flow of the blade but my major concern is the relationship between the handle and the blade. The handle seems too small and out of proportion to the blade. All in all quite startling for only the second FB made.
 
WOW that thing is sick.......it's got that evil yet classy look. Demonic sounds good I'd go with it. Man that is amazing work!
 
Looks great but I would like to know how he is going to get that nice double edge past the Aussie customs.

Ahh thanks, but I've got about 40-50 folders under my belt. I got thrown right to liner lock, I didn't have an intro through fixed blades... But I'm learning to love to build them.

Also, she only double ground, not double edged, either way, my man possessess the permits to own such a piece if it was.

Thank you all for the inspiring comments.

I love the blade to handle ratio...
 
that is Wicked Frank! Great job!! Love the overall flow. awesome guard shape:thumbup:
