The Parliament Of The Olamic Owls Is Now In Session

[Bob Denman]

Oh! When I was working the deal for the Shadow: llya noted that it was my 10th knife from them. He remembered that I am terminally left-handed; so the pocket clip would be placed appropriately on the bonus knife...

 

[Rufus1949]

Lol...great to hear. He really comes across with a good one. He does not go basic.

 

[Bob Denman]

Tell llya to look for this stuff...​

Are they doing Whippersnappers again?

 

[Rufus1949]

Are they doing Whippersnappers again?

I believe there will be more. Ilya,the father, said the first run will be half bakes ( they start them with scales,you finish them with blade,bolster and hardware).
Though as a favor Ilya is doing a custom for me when he finds the scale material I want.
I saw 3 left on their site one completely finished and 2 half baked.
These 3 were available right now.

Ilya told me they are only doing ti bolsters right now...that eliminated the mokumi for me. I'm thinking ironwood and polished bolster to emulate an old barlow.

That sounds like it would be gorgeous.

I'm thinking... Desert ironwood (hopefully burl), dark blast bolster, clip, and pivot, bronze anodized screws, standoffs, and pivot collar.

 

[Rufus1949]

That knife was in my thoughts. Reminds me of a barlow.
Hope it works out for you.
Here is comparison to busker.View attachment 1821865

I figured with the damasteel and the scales I’d keep the rest simple. Perfect action.

Outstanding! Way to go. The damasteel is very tempting. You created a great knife.

 

[Bob Denman]

Ruf,
Have you heard anything from the Mother Ship?

 

[Rufus1949]

Tomorrow one of my whipsnap lands. Ilya is searching for a old piece of handle material he had saved for my second one. Hope he finds it. Will the shadow appear soon?

 

[Bob Denman]

I should have it the first week of June.
