Been a while since I posted some photos here, so I though I'd give you a peek at some new stuff I've been working on.......

This is a new, small version of my "Man-O-War" frame-lock. It has a 3 1/2" long, 1/8" thick, hand-rubbed S30V blade and .100" thick titanium frame scales:

Another version, with my "3-piece-suit" overlays:

..... and, brand new model - called "The Hombre":

This features a 5/32" thick, 4" long, hand-rubbed S30V blade and has 3/16" thick 6AL4V titanium frame scales:

Here's a photo of the spine, showing how thick it is:

It weighs 8 ounces.

Anyhow, those are the new models I've been working on. I hope you like them! :)
 
Those are some great-looking designs. Crisp and clean and they beg to be used. :thumbup:
 
Hey, I just realized I used the same two descriptive words that Wheelie did. I now change mine to "smooth and elegant." :D
 
I love the hombre!
Both are beautiful.

How do you do the little ornament on the pivot. I've seen similar stuff around, but can't figure out how to make one without a mill.
Nice pic's too.

Those are awesome Tom!
I really like that hombre....I'd order one right now if OSU...bastards.... hadn't already laid claim to all my money already. Just really looks like a sweet peice, don't know how you can keep turning them out like that on such a regular basis :eek:
 
Well that was worth waiting for! Thanks Tom, those are beautiul. That Hombre really trips my trigger and that's some fine finishing. Thanks for the early morning drool. :cool: :thumbup:
 
I just love those, Tom! I'd love to say they are clean and crisp, or maybe smooth and elegant, but I'd really be missing the point. :p I know! I'call them sweet and elite! :D :D :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
Fantastic Tom! Love the pivots. You're just going to have to do a tutorial on making those pivots one of these days, so we can all steal your process!! The three piece is great, and the hombre is especially nice. Heck, all of them are!
 
hey Tom
I'm glad to see you back...
I think you've done a great job on them. nice.. yes too on the Hombre :)
I like the over-lay work on the other also, I wonder too if you had
the over-lay for the Hombre ofered as an option that might push it another step also..the extra grith may trip a few more trigers..

black lip MOP maybe :D

being away has not been in vain for you... :)
