I just finished up some knives, check them out!




.315 A2 steel and purple CTEK.

This one is mirror polished everywhere; even under the scales so the translucent CTEK scales really glow.

The scale material looks like it is under a blacklight when the sun is bright.

You can see a hint of the glow here!

I really love the first blade

Very cool design and stands out in a sea of that size knives. Only thing I'd like to see is a tapered tang version

Thanks for the kind words, that really makes my day hearing that. A tapered tang version would be fast in the hand, sounds good.

Love them! Never seen that handle material before. Any more info on it?

Thanks! I first saw Jon Graham use it and have been wanting to use some since then.

The C-tek is a resin infused aluminum honeycomb made by Composite Craft. It is nice to work with; I'd compare it to G10. It comes in all sorts of colors and three cell sizes, this one is medium cells.

I hand sanded to 2000 grit and made a few light passes on a leather belt with pink compound to polish it. This was by request as the owner wanted a mirror polish. The material rough grinds very quickly and was nice to work with in general.

Just let me know if you have any question, I am always happy to help.

Hmm sounds like ti could make for some fun project handles. Was it expensive?
