Here is my latest...Persian style!

I'm a big fan of the Persians, so, this is a design that I've been wanting to make for quite some time now. The blade is 3.5" in hand rubbed Elmax and the overall length is 8.75". The bolsters are marbled CF and the scales are white G10.


I gotta throw out some props to John Gonzalez. As many as you know I did some shop monkeying for John, learning skills from the man him self. If you've noticed there is a distinct similarity between the flippers on this blade, the SKF and John's Alchemys. John has been very gracious in his his mentoring and in allowing me the use of his flipper tab design so a huge thanks goes out to you bro!:highfive:

Sorry for the crappy pics.

Thanks for lookin!

I recently sent off an SKF flipper prototype sporting a pivot bearing system for eval. So now its official, I'm now a part of the IKBS club...woohoo! This is #2, a custom I did for a customer. LVA carbon fiber scale, orange G10 back spacer and a carved carbon fiber clip. The blade on this one is .1875" thick CPM-S35VN.

I'll post pics of the prototype shortly. Thanks for lookin!

How about a little fricky?! This is a custom ordered variation of my Hydra. The handle is translucent G10 on a Ti slab. The back spacer is moon glow and the washer and inlays are toxic green G10. I have to say I love the translucent material but what a pain in the ass to work with, difficult to keep clean and purdy.
