100 of them is more than enough?

This isn't that kind of forum, no judgement.

I know exactly what kind of forum thi

To continue, I know exactly what this forum is and is not.

No good can come of this...

Awesome project, you two. Mark's grinds are obscene and luscious.

Thanks Matt! I believe that pic was after eating a Carolina Reaper.
On another note, my Instagram is
Scrimgeour_knives. Pretty sure the baddogknives acct. was made during a wretched nite of drinking with Nathan. Can’t say for sure though.

This looks like a great little blade. I will be watching closely. Congrats to both CPK Mark and Lorien on this colab!

Makes sense, I’ve been there.

In and subscribed!…that’s all. Carry on and keep up the good work!

When I'm designing a knife for someone else, I have to be really in tune with where they are at. They need to have a style of their own that I can base my work from, and in Mark's case he has a distinctive look to his knives and that right there is an important ingredient for success. Otherwise, it's just my design- it's important to me for my work to look like the person I'm working for came up with it.

Here is the evolution of the sketches for this knife from the very first to the last. Each time I get it to a point where I'm feeling good about it, I send the sketch to Mark for critique and then make adjustments in order to tailor the knife to him. There's lots of fiddling around, and more erasing than drawing usually.

the final sketch is the one I'll work from to make a model. The basic contouring is sketched on, although it's highly conceptual- there's no way to be 100% positive it will work until it becomes a 3 dimensional object.

So, now that you've seen where this is going, I have to tell you that we're kind of stumped on what to call it. Mark suggested asking you guys what to name it, so..........what do you think? Should we just call it George and be done with it, or do you have something more interesting in mind? Mark will give a free smile to whoever's moniker is used.

I try to visualize what it would look like holding a knife that shape in my hand. With my arm out it looks like I'm handing you something. Like your paycheck or a piece of paper. Payday? or Payback? Yeah, Payback...

 

[Jsega51]

Lorien Hell yea, that Loveless ”Improved“ handle shaping will be killer on this. Also, I know it’s a real small part but I like how you relieved the scale a little at the spine where the jimping is. That will look great.

 

[Grenock]

Quasimodo because of that hump on the spine. Could go with Sanctuary for the same reason and because of the sense of security carrying it could provide.

George works too.

 

[bluemax_1]

Since 90% of owners will just, "Love him, and hug him, and squeeze him and pet him", The George sounds about right

I like #4 > #1. More. Stabby.

I also, just may be a dumbass and am the only one creating the confusion. If that is the case, my apologies, just take my money at the appropriate time!

Nah, that’d be me…in my sleep deprived, deer-chasing zombie mode posting irrelevant pictures! Ha
