Cancer Research Damascus Fighter WIP on CKCA

Hi Peter, Thanks man. I've taught you almost everything I know now.
I've never chimed in to let you know so I guess now is the time to do it. I LOVE your WIP threads Mr. Bump! It's so much fun to watch the knives grow! Plus, I know I'll always learn something from reading them. :D
 
Its been too quiet on this thread because this fighter was at Steven Rapps for a metal throat and tip Sheffield style leather sheath. Steven has sent the knife back here and the sheath parts to Brian Hochstrat for the engraving.

Here is some pics of the knife with the ivory scales and ready to send to Brian for engraving too.

Absolutely gorgeous. Does it have a half-stop?
Joking aside, a knife like that would make me proud to own. And buying some tickets would also make me proud. So win-win.
 
No half stop on this one Ben :)
I hope you do "win win" Thanks man.

Question

Bruce,

Fantastic knife!

One question: "Ernie Grospitch - Stencils" Stencils? Are those the makers marks? (not familiar with this word, English is not my native language :eek:)

Kind regards,

Jos

Jos,

Yes the stencils are what is used for the makers marks in the etching process.
 
Yes, good question, its like Stew said, they are used to etch the makers names onto the blade. Ernie makes some of the best stencils anywhere and at a good price too. He was kind enough to make the custom made stencils for us.

Thanks for the compliment on the knife.

The Coffee Table book that will accompany the CKCA "Cancer Fighter" Benefit knife just made it from my publisher. These are "ultra crappy" cell phone pics, but you get the idea.

I will post a link to view the book later.

Thanks for looking,
Steve

Just in time for Blade too. Looks great Steven. Would you send it to Kevin Jones asap? Unless you are going to Blade too? It needs to be at the banquet on Thursday night. Kevin just finally got the knife and sheath today so your doing good.
