The “Can’t leave anything alone” Thread

The 0470 is getting there.

I'm shipping the DamaCore off to be CNCed in the next day or two. :D

Where'd you get the scale and who is doing the blade work?

Spencer from Karbadize CNC'ed the scale for me out of some spare stabilized mammoth ivory I had on hand.

Both the DamaCore and the Damasteel blades are going to be collaborations. Dylan from Schenk Knives is doing the CNC work/profile. I'm doing the pre-heat treat polishing. Buck/BOS is handling the heat treat. A buddy of mine is handling the finish grinding... And then I'll be taking care of the polishing, etching, and finishing work.
 
Not a major undertaking, by any means, but got some new burlap micarta scales for the PM2 from RGT. Fit was spot on and they look and feel great.

That burlap Micarta looks fantastic with the black blade. I honestly can’t remember the last time I liked the looks of a knife with a coated blade.

Thanks. Yeah, I generally don’t do coated blades very often either, but I just had a feeling this combo would look nice. The stock tan G10 scales were a little too plain for my liking. I was especially pleased this particular version came with blacked out liners and hardware, too. I’m quite pleased with it.
 
Just got a couple of knives back from glennbad glennbad ! The rumors are true, he's a baaaad man! He did an awesome job!

I also picked up some really cool material for some knives I've been working on myself. :D

This is 1940s German rag Micarta.

I also grabbed a decent amount of both Mopar and Kenworth Fordite. :D Speaking of that, WValtakis WValtakis ... Wanna play with some Fordite? :D
