New Framelock
Thought you folks might enjoy this one: My latest Coral Reef folder. The blade is 2 1/2" S30V x 1/8" thick with a satin finish. OAL is 6 inches. The frame is .100" titanium, anodized and beadblasted.

Peter-
Been wondering what you've been up to...haven't seen you post anything here for some time. Now we know... I especially like the pattern on the handle... So you anodized the Ti and then bead blasted the pattern over it? Neat effect...very innovative...the coral pattern is very "South Seas" A pleasure to see your work... Dennis Yeah Baby! PS. FYI- As I'm finally ready to start making my own folders from scratch, your video is at present cued up in my VCR 8o |

Thanks for the kind words Dennis. These patterned designs are really fun to do and I think the results are worth the extra work. I haven't been making a whole heck of a lot lately because I'm buried with work at my "other" job. But now I'm putting out a few knives. And if I'm lucky and the Gods are smiling upon me I'll be doing some custom flashlights, if you can believe it. :cool:
Can't wait to see what you're making! |

I guess you missed my latest...it's over in the "Fine Embellishments" forum under the heading "Snakewood/Eagle GX6 Upgrade"...hope you like... Sorry you're forced to be "distracted" by that job thing...unfortunate, but a frequent requirement so that we get to play here. Dennis Yeah Baby PS. Custom flashlights?8o |

"For the cop who has everything..."
I'd like to see some pictures of custom flashlights. That's a neat idea that I've never heard of. Nice knife. Great pattern on the handle. That must have taken some time. |

Thanks guys, I keep trying!
The flashlight project is with a local machinist. He is mesmerized with my Surefires and especially the Arc LS. So we're working on a custom LED light. Might have a prototype in aluminum completed in a week or two followed by a short run of them. After that, maybe a VERY small quantity run in titanium.... :cool: Here's two tacticals that I finished today: Last edited by PeterAtwood; 01-27-2003 at 07:06 PM. |

And another that I finished over the weekend......I call this one "the Beast" since it's a 4 inch blade of 3/16" 440C in an 1/8" ti frame with 1/8" G10 handles. A real handful!

Great work Peter, looks like you've been busy with knives as well as the 'other' job. Nice to see you working in different styles too.

Great color and I love the way you ground the blade. Your skills have increased a great deal in the last year.

Peter,
As another who is making folders of S30V, out of curiousity how do you finish your blades? I have been grinding the bevels to 400 grit and polishing (as best that I can) the ricasso. Since I build mostly users, this has been acceptable to the buyers but I would like to know what finish you use and how they have been accepted by the public. Gary |
