Hey guys just finished up this little guys and thought I would share some pics. This is a fairly new design I call my Wingman Pocket fighter.
The "old" is some 50yr old Rag Micarta that I was fortunate enough to find recently. Kinda like finding a golden unicorn to a knife maker like me. This is the first knife I have put it on, I really dig it. The new is a 3.25" elmax blade, with stonewashed bevels/flats and polished spine all the way around. The G10 liners are red of course.
I made the "hybrid" copper/carbon fiber pins, which are a signature feature of mine.
This one will be on table at G7 next weekend.

Any and all comments welcome, thanks for looking!!







 
Love the little guy, Ben, and that micarta/red combination is sweet.
 
Nice looking knife... you make that micarta yourself Ben? I've been thinking of doing a rag mix myself. hope it turns out half that nice

Nope, this is the real deal. It's about 50yrs old.
 
Beautiful work, I love the handle on that one. Beautiful lines as well. You should make one with a larger blade and handle and use some mosaic handle pins. Maybe a hammered texture guard as well? That would be one amazing knife. :thumbup::thumbup:
 
The rag micarta is absolutely stunning !!!!!
That is a great knife.
