Yuppie Camo

[Jerry Hossom]

These are my new 7" Retribution and 3-1/4" Reprisal models in 154CM and Green Canvas Micarta. I don't know how to do Tiger Stripes, so I did my Yuppie Camo instead. It's etched, but when I show it to Bladesmiths I tell them its a low layer count Damascus. In the two minutes or so it takes them to realize I'm lying, I usually have to bite my tongue...

, those are incredible....great work Jerry.

 

[Keith Montgomery]

Interesting, very interesting. Very nice Jerry.

 

[Nosamk]

very nice!

 

[Jim Richardson]

Jerry
Do you plan on leaving them as etched or are you going to do a final polish?

 

[Jerry Hossom]

The area that is not etched is very bright, and both areas are brushed. I photographed these in indirect lighting so I could show the pattern better. Here's a pic of one in direct lighting.

"Yuppie Camo" I love it!

 

[Ebbtide]

That looks more like HotRod/Chopper camo to me...
It would blend right in at a bike show!
I think I like it better than those drab & dreary, earth tone camo jobs

It looks like Jerry knocked over a bottle of ferric chloride in the shop and invented a new finish!

Seriously though, that si neat. The two tones go very well together. Nice work!

Are we gonna see yuppie camo on your fighter you are making fro the Great BLADE Show Strider Guys and frinds fighter contest? Hmm???

How 'bout you Rob? Whatcha makin'? Tom? Mick? Duane? Ken?


By the way Jerry, I LOVE the Retribution name. Good job. I'd hate to piss off a Ranger who had one of those at his side.

 

[Jason Burns]

These are really great . . . the pics do NOT do them justice! Great job Jerry!

I'd say those are the six most closely guarded secrets in Knifedom.

Hey, I just noticed. New logo/trademark, eh Jerry? Very nice; I like it very much.

 

[Jim Smyth]

Nice looking indeed! I hope to see some in person this Friday!

 

[Bastid]

That is cool looking Jerry.

Hey Jim, if you are heading to ATL this weekend look Gus up if ya get a chance .
his email

 

[Jerry Hossom]

Thanks Folks. Bastid, you might want to tell Gus that Jim will likely be in Las Vegas Friday, where these knives will also be.

 

[Bastid]

Bummer. Oh well in that case may both of your tables be emptied by paying customers before you know what is going on.

Have a great trip Jerry!
