I'll consider all trades. Alright guys; here's my first offering in a couple of years. This one is pretty wicked. It looks better in person than in the photos. And it's priced right since it's my first one in awhile. Especially considering all the work I put into it. I also need the money to pay for the Knifemaker's Guild, and I only like to spend money on knifemaking with profits FROM knifemaking.
Blade- The blade was made by Snake River Knives Damascus. They did the original grind, but I ground the serrations and added plenty of filework. I polished off their damascus lines and redid them to fit the knife. I also made it red using a special chrome paint, added an hourglass, and coated everything with tough epoxy to protect it.
Handle- I used some good mammoth tooth scales and inlaid 14 abalone dots. I carved out a web design and coated everything with epoxy again for durability. The bolster is elephant ivory with a big opal inlay. I consider the opal to be the venom
Case- I replaced the glass with acrylic for durability and made a nice web design. The knife sits in a carbon fiber sheet that I carved out and shaped for display. I also made a web with fishing line that buttons down if you want to hang on the wall.
Thanks for looking!
God Bless,
Richard
