That's a *BAD* looking knife!

Nice job. I am liking the bead blast finish more and more these days. The handle material really stands out too.

May I ask where you pick up your handle material? I am always looking for quality and distinctive materials.

Sure would appreciate a couple more pics of the knife! Spine, any photos of the handles showing the texture you created would be most excellent!

Thanks!

Thanks Frank! Your work looks great too!

Pierre - I like a bead blast finish on some knives. It's easy to apply, and I can refinish a used knife quickly.

I buy most of my handle material from http://www.masecraftsupply.com/
The G10 I used is comprised of alternating layers of black and green. When you begin shaping it, the different layers start to pop out. It looks like a regular piece of black G10 before the shaping process begins.

I'll post some more pictures of the handle tomorrow. I have to take the pictures in the day light because I don't have a light box.

I like the looks of that. It looks like it would be a good user.

Hoooora! Great work on that knife. I especially like the pattern you achieved on the handle. Was that achieved by cutting in shallow finger groves into the flats?

Yes. I use a 1 inch wheel to cut the grooves. I basically do a semi random pattern. It gives an excellent grip and looks interesting also.

Here are a few pics as requested earlier.

It almost looks like a "stippling" effect on the flat scale surfaces . Is that right or just optical illusion?

Needless to say, I kinda like that design.....good job dude!

Great looking blade, I also like the effects of the finger grides on the handle scales.
If you don't mind me asking, What design of the pack?

Thanks!

The stippling effect is just the texture the piece of G10 had on it when I received it.
