Five Titanium Bottle Opener Knives!

These are customized with a special stamp for the new owners! :cool:

The scales are handmade, black/white with blue glow! I anodized the Titanium Hardware random colors to go with the knives... the spines and underside are also a different color!

Thank you! I was very excited to see the tubes anodize, they are apparently grounded from the rest of the knife so I was able to anodize them different colors!

That was the best I could come up yesterday. :) I was on the 395 in Oregon with spotty coverage looking at this on my phone (NOT driving at the time).

They will love them. I'm keeping the one on the right in the first picture for myself. Seeing them on a larger screen is even better. Can hardly wait to have them in hand.

Guys, this is something Daniel has been working on since I first brought up the idea last September. My girlfriend and I spend a week or so with her family each August outdoors. Sometimes camping in the Sierras, sometimes in the Santa Cruz hills. Last year, just her mother and two cousins joined us in hiking the High Sierra Camp loop in Yosimite. Smaller gathering than usual, but it was amazing, and I wanted to get them something to remember it. Daniel designed the perfect gift with just some basic input from me. And knocked it out of the park. I'm blown away.

Jes, her mother, one of the cousins that went last year, and I, are doing it again this year. And each will have one of these with us. Time to work off all the beer I drank in MT. :o.

Thank you again Daniel!
 
Awesome knives & awesome gesture on your part crewbot!

The anodized tubes are a great touch Dan,I haven't seen tubes anodized before.

Awesome!
 
I especially like how you did the carbidizing on these, not so thick and faux-hamonesque, but more cloudy and almost natural looking- good work... so all you need to do is tell me one of these is up for grabs because someone bailed out :D
 
Daniel they look great! I really like your approach to your craft and art!
Almost scared to see what you'll be making in few years!

Thanks, that means a lot!

I must have made 20 paper models before I decided on the design, lol I even carried around the last template. :) I'm glad you like them!

Yes what a good guy! They are all marked HSC 2001 for the friends they are made for, I thought it was a great idea Crewbot had for that.

Anodized tubes... I was so excited to see them change color! I use a lot of Ti tubing, I really like the physical properties. I want to do an unanodized knife with green tubes... something like that sounds cool. Thanks!

Thanks! I wanted to go for a faded pixelated look, I thought it would be cool that way.

The carbide gun is very hard to control, I am getting a better feel of it now though.

That's my "whip fading," I got that idea from watching Kat Von D's tattooing show.
