Vapor-XL Knife...Opinions????

SilentSamurai · May 26, 2009

Here's a knife that my apprentice just finished.

It's called the Vapor-XL...a four fingered version of the Vapor.

It's made of 1095 steel, double zero ground, curly maple handle scales, mosaic pins, stippled "sirror" finish (cross between mirror and satin finish), and mad sharp.

So......what do you guys think???

That's one I like a whole lot.

Not my style but I can certainly appreciate the fine craftsmanship.

Taka · May 27, 2009

Thanks for the compliments, guys.

This is the first one I've made with wood scales, and the first I've made to have this sort of finish. I'm really proud of the way it turned out.

Yes, it's still up for grabs....$225 shipped (unless it's sold outside the US, in which case I'll have to add the extra fees for international shipping and insurance.)

Thanx I.G....Man, I will say that any good words from you mean alot to her. We both have a high amount of respect for your work.

*Whispers*-You should see her blush when she sees makers of your caliber say kind words about her work.

Delightfully WICKED!!! Great job.

Taka · May 28, 2009

Man it is outstanding to see a girl kick out something so absolutely bada** as that piece right there.
You have a bright future ahead of you if you can keep ideas like that flowing and keep executing them with the level of skill that you show.

Yes Ma'am I like it indeed:thumbup:

Well Thank you Chuck. *hugs* I'm flattered to hear such kind words and positivity.

Not flattery, merely acknowledgement of your skill and Immagination. I would venture to guess that you will rapidly develop a name for your self based on the quality of the work that you are doing already.

Yeah OK, you called me on it, a bit of flattery also
