There's too many cool things in that pic for me to talk about each one, but that blue micarta is wild. :p

That big blade is awesome too.

Hi Butch. Thanks for the pic. Looks like those will turn out into some pretty neat knives. IIRC, you make your own canvas micarta? :cool:
Did you consider to make a folder so far?

[ghostrider]

All that Micarta is cool. Thanks for the pic.

Nice blades, very cool micarta :eek:

Makes me think TOXIC... :D

I think somebody will be very happy with these knives :cool:

[zenheretic]

I'd dig the warnie at the bottom with the green micarta!

[butch]

thanks guys im having alot of fun with this
and the folder thing well lets just say that i had my first one not finished for about 3 years now and im not going to not that i couldnt mind you \

as of 2 nights ago the para i was working on is being put off to the side
i milled too much off one side of the blade it was upsetting cause the Ti was cut for the lock and every thing locked up nicely with the stock blade but i have other things to get finished before i can play around with stuff for me
im working on another folder right now for some marines down in NC so im doing the mock up right now

i lll be making more "micarta" and working on getting all these blades ready for heat treat i hope by next weekend i realy only get to work on them from about 8-11 PM

Aloha butch,

Cripes man, beautiful "stuff"...do the ones in the middle have a grind similar to the Nealy Pesh Kabz? Awesome!

Keep us informed and keep up the great work!

God bless :cool:

[butch]

the grind on the batch has not been finished they will all be full flat grind
im think in about leaving a little meat on the kinves for in heat treat because i plate quench and need a nice flat to make contact with the aluminium plates
the samller knives will be oil quenched

[TheKnifeCollector]

Ok, see now THAT is hot :cool:

Awesome knife Butch :D

[TheKnifeCollector]

Butch: That IS fantastic!!!

[Piet.S]

Well done Butch, nice pollish too.

[ghostrider]

I like it, a lot!

The high polish blade with the signature, combined with the wild micarta gives it a elegant appearance while being somewhat zany at the same time. Sweeeet piece.
