This was of my first co-clab that I did for TAD Gear. These went to the USN knife show in Las Vegas, aka: The Gathering. TAD released 2 of these the first day and 2 more were set up for lottery drawings on the last day. From what I understand the 5th one was held back to be sold in one of their stores at a later and undisclosed date and time.

Thank for lookin!

Here's another custom that made it to its new home yesterday. The bolsters are patina'd copper, somewhat of an old plank look to it, LSCF scales, an acid washed and swedged S35VN blade, and a dragons tail pocket clip...I had several made a few weeks back.

Thanks for lookin!

I just finished this sweet little number up for our brother Nick out in Hawaii. I threw out some suggestions , he liked what he heard, so this is what came up with. 



The blade is W2, the bolsters, back spacer and clip are 2 color Mokume that had been etched and the scales are 670 carbon fiber. 



This was my second experience with W2, although a tough steel to figure out, It was a fun challenge. I gotta throw out some props to Don Hanson for his insight on working with W2, a very cool dude!



Thanks for lookin!

Here is a smaller version of the SKF dubbed "The Mini". The blade is 3 1/8" and OAL is 7 5/8". The blade is hand rubbed Elmax, all Ti handle, CF back Spacer, carved CF clip and lock stop with orange inlay. This one was sent off to Steel Treasure.

Thanks for lookin!

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.
