Re-Scaled Switchblade
When I was in Mexico, I spent allot of time bargaining with the locals, Mostly for fun, But I did find a few good things.
I found this switchblade in an old flea market made of bricks, And talked the guy down from 250 pesos to 80 pesos, Always fun! When I got back, I decided that this blade would be much more special If I put in a unique wood scale, And of all woods to use, I Used some Aryan (Coastal Orange Rosewood) that I also got in mexico. Anyways, I was very happy with the results, Spent about 6 hours total on the carving, filing, sanding, and polishing. Ivory Oil used for finish, 1500 grit, Wet from 800 up. I just pray I don't get pulled over\searched and get this baby bagged... |
