This one came out pretty cool with the double collar on the lock side. Spoken for https://www.instagram.com/p/B27QUCFlQsk/?igshid=15rx0uei43yy1

Working #Koa is always a pleasure. It’s a very dense #hardwood and takes one hell of a polish. This is off the grinder with a padded 1200 belt. It won’t need much hand work other than cleaning up along the spine. The last thing is a few coats of pore filler / finish; After that they’ll reflect light like a #catseye stone. https://www.instagram.com/p/B06PojfljCw/?igshid=pl96srx4uhws

This ones going to fun - just black and white. The zirconium bolsters up front will be jet black when finished. But! what I’m really excited about is the template I made to find the best figure in this sheet of ivory micarta. I chose the flat part. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0zJZZxF8XJ/?igshid=10hp6tbanp0f6

What do you think of the stone wash? I’m into it. The copper still needs to be finished. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0OzbHHF-Q5/?igshid=1jq88wr2x2plj

Getting somewhere on this fighter finally. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0OgKftF128/?igshid=vaawxce6t2xr

VPK with blue Blue-prle orange peel finish and anodized hardware. This ones got a single side blue mango 🥭 inlay curtesy of @hawksnestcustoms. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz_JXinln9W/?igshid=1wk9mg67rrwec

VPK stonewashed with anodized hardware and red linen pivot collars. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz_GcIGF6UJ/?igshid=curdijvpnmf9

Check out the new up for grabs batch! This VPK has a single side micarta inlay. I made that piece last year as an experiment. I made a chunk of dark blue tissue paper micarta and left it exposed to the Florida sun long enough to build up that green crust on top. The idea was to replicate the age discoloration found on some old reclaimed phenolics. This was my favorite color and most dramatic of the effects. Considering the time involved, this won’t be available on the regs. 😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz_DIL0lD2H/?igshid=1cvwjl84jsro

I’m digging the blue mango scale on this one! I’m almost finished with a batch of available one offs, this is one of them. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzvl8oeFRjg/?igshid=2c9xqljio4gf

I’ve got one up for grabs, this one has a single sided tomato red micarta inlay with bronzed titanium pivot hardware. Shoot me an email [email protected] if you want to claim it. https://www.instagram.com/p/BytD3mHl95H/?igshid=1n5eodor0553q

Glad to see this custom VPK is all finished up! This build was my first liner lock, mammoth chunks, and washers on a project. I’m pumped with how it came out 👍👍🔪🔪. This one isn’t available, but I have one more run of VPKs left. Click the link In my bio for more info and thanks for following along! https://www.instagram.com/p/ByspnB_FMHu/?igshid=1vju7fzv6hm1g

This one is starting to look finished. There are some details left and it’s missing the pocket clip, but I’m really happy with how this ones coming out. The mammoth was a learning experience, but slow and easy minimized the mistakes. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByinrJrF4rN/?igshid=17pe68o85owsa

Im making a custom vpk with mammoth tooth scales. It’s also the first flipper I’ve made using bronze bearings. It’s almost as smooth as the ceramic ones, so I’ll chalk that one up as a win 🤞. I have some clean up work and shaping to do, but it’s functional! https://www.instagram.com/p/ByWP2LNFqs9/?igshid=17bibcw40h5qh

This one was a one off experimental piece. It’s a general use style, but I wanted to focus on some new handle geometry for future kitchen blades. I was inspired by @dsn_knives and @thompsonknives for the shape and pinch grip fuller. It came out well, but I want to work on sharpening up the geometric lines. https://www.instagram.com/biltsharp/p/Bvejd68FMa4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=elkntkjz7vrx
