Timascus MOAB

Tim Galyean · Mar 20, 2009

Here is one I finished up a while ago. It is a MOAB with a 4.375" long mirror polished blade of CPM154CM, .1875" thick. .200" thick Timascus handles with Mother of Pearl inlays on the front and mirror polished 6AL4V inlays on the back. Timasucs clip and backspacer as well. Very difficult to photo!

I thought I was in the movie "Ground Hog Day" while making this knife. Day after day of sanding and polishing!

Thanks for looking!

Damn, very flashy and well done. Loving the inlay. Hopefully this over all design makes it into a production form.

Wow Tim, looks really great!

With all that work polishing the blade, how about some closer shots of it?

I love the way the blade looks faceted.

Wow....BEAUTIFUL! :thumbup:

Great work, that's a true traditional Black polish on the blade, see how it reflected the light in your last photo to cast it black. Congratulations, I know it must have been a lot of hard work... Beautiful Knife.....

wow that's impressive - SO much work involved in that, and it looks perfect!!

That's one righteous knife.

I would love to see a photo of the open knife taken directly from the side. The photos above make the blade look like it is two inches long.

I love the vibrant colours of the Timascus.

Here you go Keith. My photo skills are not the greatest. This one is really difficult because everything is so polished, the light has to be just perfect and I don't have a clue how to do it.

Incredible craftsmanship.

ROBB · Mar 21, 2009

WOW. Beautiful timascus.

Keith Montgomery · Mar 21, 2009

Thanks Tim. The lighting isn't perfect, but that photo gives a proper idea of what the proportions are.

this is nice, and cool inlays, but I have to think I would like it much better with out the MOAB banner on both sides of the knife. awesome knife Tim, thanks for sharing.

Here are some MUCH better photos by Mitch Lum. I should not have even attempted to take pictures of this knife.
