What is on the bench Monday?

After a few days off to recover from the Vegas trip, I got back to work since my next deadline is the ECCKS. The show is end of February so I have time to make several series of knives before then.

I have been making a lot of Minis in the later part of 2013 so I thought I would start by making a series of full size knives.

The East Coast Custom Knife Show will be held February 28th, March 1st and 2nd at the Westin Jersey City Newport. Check out the website for more info.

Shot Show report - Part 2

Here are more photos taken at the Hogue booth:

Shot Show report

We spent a good part of last week in Las Vegas at the Shot Show and then at the Tactical Knife Invitational Saturday night. While the Shot Show is as humongous as always, we really spent most of our time hanging out at the Hogue booth. The whole line up was present including the new EX-F02 fixed blades and EX-F03 neck knives. They even had some of my custom axes on display and these received a lot of attention from customers as well. Here are some photos:

TKI Preview - Mini Tank Mokuti and Ivory

Lastly I made another Mini Tank for the show. This one has a Damasteel blade, Mokuti bolsters and bark ivory scales. The integral skull crusher/spacer and the clip are made of Mokuti as well.

TKI Preview - Damascus Battle Axes

I also made a couple of Damascus axes; one with cocobolo handle and one with ironwood handle. They both have really neat Paul Long leather sheaths.

TKI Preview - Hell Razor

Here is the finished photos of the sword I showed a couple weeks back when I was making it. I also made a leather scabbard for it.

TKI Preview - Mini Tank Black Mokuti and Zirconium

This Mini Tank has a Chad Nichols' Stellite core stainless Damascus blade, Zirconium bolsters and Black Mokuti scales. The clip is Mokuti and the skull crusher/spacer is Zirconium.
