Recent work!

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!
