Hi Rick!

This is a phantastic and refreshing ) knife-design! Tell us something about the materials you have used, the blade and the grips. And tell us something about the size of grip and blade.

What about dealers in Europe to buy that fine stuff? Or do you have a Homepage where we can buy with paypal etc.?

You're doing a good job, but we need more informations so far!

Matthias,Thanks for the welcome.

The specs are:
3.50" Hand sculpted ATS-34 blade Tumble finish
.095 Ti liners
Ranger green G-10 scales w/ patterned grooves
8.50" OAL
5.0" closed
Still need to finish ti clip

I actually hand carve my bevels with a flexshaft w/ 1/2" carbide cylinder bur to rough carve,I then use expanded drum w/ 120,320 grit drums to smooth the ripples from rough carving.I finish sanding with a jeweler's sanding stick 180,320 grit,Tumble finish.It's kind of a hollow-convex edge cross section,Different from a ground blade.No CNC.
