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.

$499- ONE TIME PRICE DROP! $449 Paypal is on me. Shipping will be the actual amount.

Thanks for looking!

God Bless,
Richard

Ok Gang, BEFORE you roll your eyes, let me just say that.

All art has it's place and this is very inspirational. We just need to get this guy working on his own material.

Bad Boy, i don't understand what you are trying to say except for "LETS GET THIS GUY A DOCTOR" .
How well do you think this knife cuts ? Is it even important ?

Roland my friend. I have a feeling, any of these knives will cut anything that's before them as if it were Luke Himself w/ his lightsaber!There's Wild energy here, in all kinds of directions.
A good knife cutting would be as important as...I won't define that for you, that's a quest each man must make on their own.

Very wild, and that's ok with me.

I hope that part atleast comes across plainly. I enjoyed the experience, see alot of the same ole', same ole', and anything new, should get all of us excited.

They are art pieces and he even makes the boxes he displays them in art. The are art knives, lookers not cutters for sure. Unless they are in a horror movie.

They have kind of a folk art on crystal meth feeling to me. My cup of tea? No. But do you know how many houses I've been to where they display crappy knives with pheonixes and snakes on them they bought from street vendors while on vacation in Mexico, Puerto Rico ect...... A lot. Compared to those POS art knives this guys stuff is actually well made. There is a market for this guy. Sadly its not here probably since the majority of folks here seem to like "users" or lookers that can be users if they want to go scuff em' up.
 
They're definitely unique, although I think most of the guys who would go for a knife like this wouldn't be coughing up $350 for it.

Is there a satanic thing behind these knives?

Serious question.

Lol. I DO have a set that is called the "Devil's Deadly Daggers". But actually, I'll have a 2nd master's degree in theological studies later this year, so I'm definitely NOT a Satanist, lol.
