What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

In the 2nd picture, the relief between the the little ridges and valleys reminds me of a washboard or tire tread pattern.

Interesting observation, and yes definitely!

Have you noticed any other benefits from this newest texturing technique? would it take more or less time to apply this technique, as opposed to previous handle texturing work?

Diamond bits seem to want to skate less than dremel drums, probably due to both their narrower contact surface with the material and their increased bite in all materials. They do still seem to want to jump around a bit on the rubber layers, though.

Just don't let it bite you, it looks mean.

 

[David Mary]

It's friendly!

It's friendly!

So was the last animal that bit me

Forgot to mention the prototype has a 2.25" blade, the run will have 2.5"

Good to see you David!

 

[beeinak]

I love the one on the left!

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

R&D looks very interesting. That an 8" blade?

 

[David Mary]

10"

Turns out you were right.

That one on the right is an interesting piece - like the shape of the blade; looks like it could knock about the woods and mountains, trails, and around one's home quite nicely.

10"


Turns out you were right.

R&D should definitely be fun. How thick of stock is it and what steel? Blade shape is one of my favorites. Something like that could easily replace my Bk9 as big knife if the collection.

I hope the little critter didn't bite to hard.

Well that's the problem, the knife was in the wrong hand.

Glad it was minor.

Looks like you’re a fan to me. Lol. J/k

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

How long does customs normally take you fine gentleman. My riverhawk was alright stateside but no matter how many times I refresh my browser my rainy day still hasn't cleared. I can't recall the last time I was this unhappy waiting on a knife.... And I don't even get to keep it.

Luckily my riverhawk hasn't but me yet...

 

[David Mary]

Ten days from ship date. Any longer than that, and let me know, I'll file a ticket.

How does that song go again? Ooops, I did it again. Tonight. The stuggle with front/top flippers is real.

The funny/strange part is I was taking a video of how I'd mastered the front flipper, and closed the knife on my finger instead, while looking through the viewfinder instead of looking at my hand in real life...
