I added some much desired CFM to my shop. Very excited that I can prep for Duracoat now.

I'm working on two of these right now in cpm-154. My first time using stainless.

The notch in the butt of the knife is a way that I have thought up to do a hidden lanyard. Well, I'm not sure if it's ever been done this way but I haven't seen it before.

The scales will cover the notch, and I will have a hidden pin in the notch that will allow a lanyard to be fed around it. We will see how it turns out.

 
First time using this handle material. African horn but can't remember what animal. Went back to the site but they have no stock showing. Great colour and works same as Buff horn but feels a bit harder. Only good on smaller knives as it is only a bit over 1/4" thick. Definitely use it again.






 
Cool idea on the hidden lanyard shane.

We've been doing a lot of custom engraving lately. This set went out last week to two brothers and their father
