Special Heirloom Knife

[JonathanD]

Been a few years in the works now, but I've always wanted a really special edition of my knife from Stu, something nicely presented and more personal to me than the other users he has made me in the past. So here is the final design. Taken me ages and I've changed it loads since I commissioned it last year. Only the damascus pattern has been consistent...

Blade is in Bjorkmantwist damasteel, full flat grind.

Stainless steel bolsters engraved with my Adder/Britain avatar on both sides. No lanyard hole and scales in carbon fibre with red/black liners. All presented in a custom box.

Damn that looks nice...probably won't be cheap either but will last generations

EDIT: idiot read the fudging post!

Nice Jon,

I thought the same when stu made the PFK - everyone needs "a knife for life".

Wish I'd thought of a box though.....bugger

Stilll .....I got the bolsters first!

 

[telwebb]

Very nice indeed! ref the bolsters - do they wrap round or are they solid (replacing the fore of the handle)? Forgive me if thats a daft question - haven't seen the process on any of the knife-builds I've come across so far.

That will be lush once it is completed. Looking forward to seeing the completed work.

I think it was the whole PFK package that first got this idea burning in my head. Three years later....

The bolsters are just extensions of the scale, they don't wrap around.

I'll keep updating this thread with pics as the build progresses. I need to sort out a high def black and white image of my avatar now for the engravers. That is the largest one I have, so may have to start from scratch on it.

Jonathan, you are such a tart.

 

[JonathanD]

Jonathan, you are such a tart.

Indeed I am

 

[FGYT]

Dont forget a couple of 3/4 scale ones for the Kids or a necker they work well

 

[JonathanD]

Don't tempt me.

 

[Zingmo]

No idea. I've got a couple of things in the fire with Stu at the moment and I'm in no hurry.

 

[British Red]

Why not get him to do a progress thread Jon?

Be good to see it come together
