Warning

[Ferret]

For your viewing pleasure here's a "warning" (wharncliff) FB hot out of the acid bath...5.5" double flat ground D2 blade, green/black G10 scales...

Wow, what is going on with the blade finish? It's crazy! Good work! (Now get to work on my folder!

 

[poboy]

Holy Crap! That's gotta be the wickedest looking wharncliffe I've ever seen. Nice work. How did you get that pattern in the blade?

 

[BARRY JONES]

That looks GREAT! The blade finish is very interesting. You must let me know how you accomplished it.

 

[Keith Montgomery]

Looks great Dav. I just love those grinds you do.

 

[Ferret]

Thanks...the etch is 2 stage...first stage is to mask off everything and score the pattern, etch, remove the mask and then etch everything...am still playing with the effects but plenty of scope for experimentation.

Wowsers Dave, you're cornering the mean lookin blade market for sure! That knife is awesome and the finish is fantastic! I've never seen anything like that. What are you using for a resist on the first etch?

 

[Ferret]

Bitumen paint leftover from my pre-stencil etch days

 

[PyroRadical]

cool blade, Ferret, nice job

 

[satin]

[Edit: never mind, I'm a moron. )

 

[Theo Baartse]

Who's the Aussie private dick
that's a sex machine to all the chicks?
(Dav!)
You're damn right.

Who is the man
that would risk his neck for his brother man?
(Dav!)
Can ya dig it?

Who's the cat that won't cop out
when there's danger all about
(Dav!)
Right on.

You see this cat Ferret is a bad mother--
(Shut your mouth!)
But I'm talkin' about Ferret.
(Then we can dig it!)

He's a complicated man
but no one understands him but his woman
(Dav, the biggest baddest knifemakin' Ferret)

 

[Ferret]

Sho nuff, that is some major kissass

 

[Atomic Zero]

LOL, c'mon. After the whole "could you put a hole in it?" fiasco, I owe you some ass kissing.
