Beautiful knife!

Great looking knife. Seems like it would be very comfortable in-hand also.

They look really good Mike!

Thanks a lot guys! I'm still very proud of this knife and have been carrying it for the last few days. Just the right weight and thickness, plus great usable length on the blade. the green is growing on me as well. It has actually darkened up just a tiny bit from handling, which I think is a...

I agree with Laurence. I love the short wharcliffe style! The tiedye is... colorful.. :) I know you were just experimenting, and it looks well-done. I'm just more of a simplistic guy...

Thanks Josh. I'm ready to start another one! :) I have some more of this kamikarta ( i just invented that name since it came from Kamikazej). I think I'll be doing some green bolsters soon.

There are LOTS of pics of my progress on this knife in the WIP/Tutorial section, but I'll just put a few finished pics here. A close friend asked me to make a green liner lock for her boyfriend for Christmas, and gave me carte-blanche on the design. Just so long as it was green, and had a...

Couple of final pics of the blade... Flat righthand chisel grind with convex edge. Based on my math, the angle of the actual bevel should be 14-degrees...

Looks really nice! Very interesting Damascus also.

Yep, I see it... should make for a great looking blade and way to stick with it on the HT!

If I even knew what "disposable funds" looked like, I'd be ALL over it... That's a gorgeous knife and hopefully someone picks it up from you very soon.

Finished up last night, and did the lanyard and sharpened this morning. For high carbon steels, I have found that warm, super-saturated salt water really works the best on the etch. A little clean up and voila! :) Hand tapping for the 2-56 screws that will hold the pocket clip. I...

This isn't really my "first" liner lock, because I previously built a USAKM Chow Chow (that I still have in my EDC rotation). But this is the first of my own design from start to where I am now. Began with only a paper idea of what I generally wanted, some 0.071" Ti from Boss and 1084 from...

I'd also like to be in the candidates list for modding that section. I'm a glutton for pics! :)

Very nice knife Jim. I think it goes-without saying that your son will be thrilled!

You have my attention... :) I have been taking a few pictures of first linerlock of my own complete design and will do a WIP thread on that. It is currently at the point of cutting the lock bar.

If you put it that way... my "first" "knife"... and I use BOTH of those terms VERY loosely... was made entirely from paint stir sticks, blade and all. I cut the handle to shape, cut the blade, even "ground" the blade on a bench grinder. It was all put together with wooden dowels and...

Nicely done Jason

Very nice WIP and the final sword looks really good to me. sucks that you snapped it off like that, but the final proportions seem to still be good.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at here... but this is from Kevin Cashen's website for 5160. Link here: http://www.cashenblades.com/steel/5160.html
