Just finished one of the most challenging projects of my life....two nearly identical knives out of .160 6/4 titanium and .160 talonite...with all ti parts, including the screws (at $4.85 each!!!!!) for Ray in Austria...just sent them this morning and wanted to post the pic.

Tom,
Great looking knife.
Les Halpern has some 2x56x1/2" pan head slotted Ti screws at a phenominal price. Give him a call.
 
all ti parts were bead blasted with fairly coarse glass beads at medium pressure. blade is satin finished with 400 grit. teflon washers. it was WAY more work than i had anticipated when i quoted him a price.

The pen is mightier than the sword...outside of arm's reach. Modify radius accordingly for rifle.


 
Thanks a lot all of you....so many knives that all of us make disappear into the void of some collectors drawer that i wanted to share it with the world ...i was very pleased with the results myself.....aloha to all of you,especially ray for trusting me with his idea...and all his money......tom

WOW!! Having dealt with Tom in the past not only can Ray be assured of 1st Class workmanship but also way more than his money's worth. Fantasic looking knife Tom, Xmas is coming up, maybe I should talk to the wife and try to squeeze in one more knife before the end of the year.
 
tom-you need to give her about 1k and tell her to give me a call and i will set you up for christmas...or maybe one for everyone in your family...better send 2k...since it is that time of year (y2k i mean.) dont forget to wear your vest when you go out in public, i know thats a very high crime area up there in makawao.
 
What do you mean wear my vest when I go out in public, I sleep with that thing on!!
