Recent work!

[Darksev]

Hi folks, Long time no see!

I'm not any less busy, but I did squeak out a few knives in the last couple months, and I've got some time to post a few for you all, just to show I do still occasionally produce something from my workshop

First off, this Spyderco Urban from back in May...It had it's rather ugly flat green G10 slabs replaced with Desert tan and Blue G10, textured and wire wheeled (no bead blast capabilities for me). The spring (it is a slipjoint, of sorts) has been fileworked in a simple pattern to add a bit of bling, and while the Wireclip has been removed, I added a 1/8 Lanyard hole through the spring. Thanks goodness for carbide drill bits, ya know? Ignore the jacket I used for a backdrop, I have odd hobbies (as you probably can tell. I'm here, after all)








And what knife post from me would be complete without some form of Great Eastern cutlery

First off, one of the #26 "Little Carver" patterns. I stonewashed the blades with some medium ceramic media for a nice, not to aggressive look, fileworked the backspring, stabilized sycamore lace for handles. For those of you that have seen that wood before, you'll be sad to know that this was the last little scrap I had of that wonderful block of wood. I'm still kicking myself 2 years later for not buying the other two blocks that were available. The natural coloring is just amazing, the best I've ever run across.

Secondly, is another #25 "Ultralight V2" conversion. Northfield blade/spring on a new frame made from .05 titanium. Black G10 bolsters with Carbon Fiber handles (the last of that evil stuff, cept for a tiny scrap) No filework this time, just a super light, streamlined knife.











Comments, as always are appreciated I've got a couple more slippies in various states of completion, so I might have a few more to show off in the near future!

Adam,
Nice work as always!

I especially like the GEC Wharrnie.
I just wish they made one big enough for my hand.

All very nice.. Really like that that Spyderco.. John

Those all look great but i think i'd have to pic that carbon fiber one bet it's light in the pocket--i like the clean and simple file work on that Spyderco too--i like a knife i can drop in my back pocket and those both fit the bill

Great Work!!!

[rangerbluedog]

dang Adam, you do great work!
What's that little ol' carbon fiber knife weigh now - about 4 oz?

[snorkel]

Great work, i really like the carbon fiber one with the g10 bolster, it just looks super nice.

A lockback with the front and rear bolsters in g10 with the CF scales would look sweet, you
are giving me ideas

[snorkel]

What type of liners does that CF/g10 one have? stainless or NS?

[Darksev]

Thanks for the comments guys.

The ultralight liners are neither I used 6al-4v titanium, .05 inches thick. Super rigid and strong, but so light it's like it's not even there. Pain in the ass to work with though, it's nearly as hard as the files I use. This is from my stash of "cheater" liners. I sent off some Ti to be waterjet this last winter, enough to last me until I get bored of doing em

Since all of the work you do is SO VERY NICE these are typical, and I mean that in the very best way. I'm just amazed at the craftsmanship you and some of the others exhibit. I've not seen anything you've done that I do not lust after.

Adam,

Great stuff! All are nice, but that #25 is real smooth.

[Froggyedge]

Looking great!
And probably perfect for hunting those zombies!

[Gunstock Jack]

Very nicely done, Adam. You are an artist! The lacewood is my fav out of that bunch.
