Let's Talk Knives

Very nice! Add a picture of it closed?

 

I had an old Kershaw that some people scoffed at. Had 18CRMoV (5h!+) steel, fiberglass scales, and the flipper stuck out too far. But man I love that knife, if for no other reason that if I lose it or break it, I'm only out a $24 knife I got years of use from. I've moved onto others for daily drivers, but I'll be keeping that beater. Never heard of Honey Badger before, but hope it works out.

[Edit] - Also, kinda jealous of that stapler.

 

This knife is awesome! I didn't have to put a new edge on this thing until halfway into skinning my elk. Great craftsmanship. Great feel. Never felt like it would slip, even when completely covered in blood. Thanks again Ray! @gosolo

 

We aim to please, would you please aim?

 

Blind shooting is more fun

 

The coolest part is how you merged these two pics to make them seem like one.

The phone cord brings up bad childhood memories.
That stapler is a tractor!

 

tell us how you really feel, lol
I like the little knife, reminds me some of my spiderco

 

Truth. Any knife I've ever owned has had a blood baptism. LOL

 

A few recent pickups

 

Friday nice knife…

Black on Black

 

It was a tough choice between Heretic and Microtech for me. The Heretic won, but if I don't get over it, the Microtech will win too.

Nice one.

 

Sometimes we have ties.

ie; soccer.

 

Wish we could have an auto here...

 

Yeah, that kinda sucks.

 

Finished this chefs knife today

 

Holy Chit that is stunning

Fantastic work as usual Ray!

 

My word, Ray. That's a gorgeous knife.

 

Sliced the tomato paper thin

 

Sweet!

 

Got this Honey Badger brand knife from Amazon the other day after reading a recommendation for them. Seems to be very good quality. Very smooth opening and closing, and came really sharp. Only 40 bucks. Really well made.

A red Swingline stapler, an homage to 'Office Space'?

My letter opener: Kizer knives, kind of in the same price point as above ok steel.

 

Standard desk jockey protocol; throw a stapler at your enemy and if he keeps coming, pull your knife.

 

I love it, Ray!!
Just amazing!
That pattern is so peaceful.
Story on the handle and adornments, please.
Thought that was a mandala in the middle at first.

 

The steel is my favorite,1084 & 15n20.
The handle is a piece of curly maple that I had dyed green and stabilized.
The primary mosaic pin is a combination of 2 mosaic pins. The big one has a center hole that I can use for lanyards. I used another small pin piece and a small piece of tube that made the 3 tube center. (I have more mosaic pins coming my way). That’s gray and black g-10 liners.

The pattern of this one feels ‘whimsical’, like Casper the ghost, if you know what I mean. Every pattern seems to have its own mood and energy. The method for this one is the same thing that I did for the big Bowie knife; a raindrop pattern, with some of the dots connected, but a lower layer count.

I also did a different edge bevel grind. From the spine 2/3 of the blade is completely flat. The last 1/3 terminated at the edge with an 11* angle. Perfect for vegetables, might chip if it is mishandled or used around bone.
