What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[David Mary]

I also have frogwood for them.

If I didn't already have handle material on hand I'd have a tough time choosing.

 

[David Mary]

Right? I love them all

 

[Wild Willie]

Don't worry guys, I have some beautiful vintage crosscut micarta from Fixall that's going on mine...

Here are scales included in base price for the Hudson Bay knives. And the 15N20 ones are in the shop now, which means any one of these gents could be worked into the coming week’s builds once I know:

@Auglaize117
@Henry Beige
@Hurrul
@FSA

Here are the base price woods that can be claimed.

That maple is beautiful.

 

[David Mary]

Got it at the Home Depot of all places. Maple is a wonderful wood for knife handles. What it lacks in “pizazz”, as far as fancy grain and what not, it more than makes up in durability and moisture resistance.

If it helps, you can move my Barax around the schedule as needed.

 

[David Mary]

Allowing myself another R&D knife build. Recurves are known for their cutting power but also for being harder to sharpen. So how about a subtle one that keeps the former and minimizes the latter? This is the Sirupetite, in Suretouch, with a new texture idea using a tapered bit. Angled for both pull cuts and thrusts. It’s almost done, and coming home with me shortly.

The search for a productive week continues. All spoken for. And this closes the door on any other knives to be started this week.

4th down on the left side in the pic....that's interesting design I dont think I've seen you tackle before. just a tiny bit of Al Mar influence....I mean the man himself designs not the Chinese run company today....

whats blade length on that one just over 4" range?

 

[David Mary]

Yessir

 

[David Mary]

Not as fast as I’d hoped this week so far. Still lots of work to do.

good lookin bunch. I'm really digging on number 4. wouldn't mind seeing more of that model made. possible we'll see more of this one in the future ...or is it a one time custom knife?

That one caught my eye as well.

 

[SharpBits]

Make that three.

 

[jbmonkey]

i know or maybe better said, think, David's already working on a bunch of knives but maybe down the road in slower times....a small run of these, unless its a custom custom and not meant to be made more than once.....

 

[David Mary]

Well guys first of all thank you and secondly that is a one-off made from modifying one of my Flicker 2.0 blanks.

 

[David Mary]

I have one blank left I can do that with, for now.
