Win a free Talonite (r) knife

<<I've managed to overcome this in other difficult to polish metals, but haven't had the results I would like in Talonite, yet. >>

"yet" being the key word?

Great Idea! Thanks!

I would like to see a knife with a more dressy, less tactical look. Something you can wear with a suit at a wedding.

I like quince-burl or some similar brown wood.

Traditional lockback is fine with me too, although I'm not opposed to a liner lock.

I don't know if this is possible, but I recently had a dream about a colored damascus blade. It was bright yellow and grey, and the pattern was the ladder style. Don't laugh, It was a dream, and we all know how kooky those can be. Color is really not important on the "steel"

Drop point blade shape is my favorite.

Enough of this, now I hope you can find someone to make my knife.

I'm in. I only have one Stellite, and NO Talonite knives. I'm obviously sorely in need.

A simple 3"-3.5" drop point/utility would be great. But any free knife is better. Thanks for the opportunity!

Take care,
Tom

Hello Daniel Dorn,
I think you missed a point or two of this contest.

The dressy, less tactical look, is perfectly fine.
The quince-burl or some similar brown wood, is good.
Either traditional lockback or liner lock is acceptable.
A drop point blade shape will work fine.

The next two points are a little off;
(1) "now I hope you can find someone to make my knife" I will be making this

.
(2) "damascus blade" The blade is to be made of Talonite which is an alloy
that is not applicable for pattern welding.

Paul.
 
Herewith kindly accept my formal entry. I agree with many of the above suggestions about corrosion resistant handle to go with the talonite blade, say Ti would be a good handle material, and mainly it must balance out when held, no sharp edges to nick your fingers on, and a fore-aft line that flows instead of a choppy look.

I really like the Chimera by Deryk Munroe in Talonite, you may get some inspiration from his knives without copying them.

I think Talonite would be the ideal material for a utility fishing knife since it is corrosion resistant and has good edge retention. The problem with stainless steel knives is the rusting and so one must be careful for saltwater use.

My ideal knife would be one with a 3" drop point blade, lockback and with handles that don't corrode (perhaps titanium). Doesn't need one hand opening or other tactical features, just a good looking utility knife. One final thing is that it should be easy to disassemble for cleaning.
 
Thanks so much for the opportunity. I would vote for a 3" to 3.5" Wharncliffe blade with Ti bolsters and abalone slabs.
 
A 3"-3 1/4" flat ground, plain edge, drop point blade with itegral finger guard/choil. G-10 or Micarta scales. Lanyard hole. All fitted in a nice Kydex/Concealex sheath.
Or whatever you decide.

Paul, I like your description of the gentlemans knife. The only changes I would make is to use a stabilised burl for the scales. The wood should compliment the mokume bolsters.
Thanks for the contest Tom.

Which color of stabilized wood do you think would compliment the mokume best?
I was thinking probably the gold/black double dyed woods from wood stabizing specialists international.
Which burl wood? I'm not real sure since I've not seen all the different burls stabilized. It would have to be a tight grained, small eyed piece to be best though.

I have not as yet seen a fancy knife done in Talonite. So it should have black lip mother of pearl scales.

Regards,

Tom Carey

I like a 4" flat ground warncliff, single arc backside(handle to blade) raw (unpolished) micarta, lanyard hole, little bit of finger grooves rather than bolster guard, with the bladeback stud for opening that becomes a fingerguard like on the CKRT M-16. thanks in advance. Antonio

How about a Loveless style blade with gold Micarta handles. About four inches would be nice. Oh, and Tom, when I win, contact me via my e-mail addie in my profile. Thanks in advance.
