Tomorrow is the last day of this Project 365!

Project 365 - Day 363

Cerberus Gen 2 (2013)

Les George and I have this collaboration Midtech knife called the Cerberus. The first series we made a couple of years ago had a G-10 inlay in the handle so we decided to do something different on this second run. This titanium framelock has machining on the whole handle and can be anodized in various colors. These are the prototypes we just finished. Let me know if you are interested in getting one of these when they are ready.

Merry Christmas! Today's photo would make one nice present to find under the tree!

Complete set in presentation box (2005)

A customer wanted a complete set as a present to himself for his wedding: A pen, a watch, a folder, a small fixed blade and a wedding ring. I had a beautiful presentation wood box made to accommodate the whole set and it turned out pretty nice.

The Persian Bowie is completed, it just needs to be sharpened once it return from the sheath maker.

Continuation of the Persian Bowie build. Yesterday was a long day but the knives are turning great.

Continuation of the Persian Bowie build.

The knives are turning out great, I spent the whole day machining the zirconium guard and fitting it to the blade. What a chunk of ivory!

Project 365 - Day 352

While I wait for the sword to get heat-treated and shipped back to me, I will make another knife for the Tactical Knife Invitational.
This is one of my oldest design, I made this in the late 80's early 90's. I think it's one of the sexiest double edged fighters, and kind of difficult to grind because of the curve in the blade. This persian bowie is going to be way more complex than the early one because of the machines I have now and the skill level that has been honed. For TKI I am making knives that you have not seen me or going to see me make in a very long time.

The smaller knife is not for the show but a gift for a friend and I am making them at the same time.

Project 365 - Day 351

I have gone as far as I can go for now; I need to send the blade to get heat treated because my oven is not large enough for the sword. I'll resume posting photos of this project once I get it back.
