Any special requests for etches on these? Spine or Ricasso? Mines gonna have Rowdy Roddy Piper on one side and "I'm all out of bubble gum" on the other Speak now or forever hoe your peas.

I like your idea, let's go with that - or maybe something a little less subtle.

On second thought, keep it classy. A tastefully done RedMeadow Knives on the ricasso works for me.

Maker's choice. That's worked for me so far...

Is it about time to go camping? Asking for a friend...

This is still blocky but it's gonna have curves. This is natural micarta, it will darken up a lot.

 

[Melvin-Purvis]

Oooh, ahhh. ️

 

[SpyderPhreak]

Oooh, ahhh indeed!

I'll throw some more oohs and ahhs in for that. Looks great.

It's always nerve wracking to drill scales for tapered tangs, just got the Starry Night for the other one drilled out and all went well.

That's coming along really nice! Balance point is perfect, these will feel nice in-hand.

I bet it's not easy. That part would wreck havoc on my OCD, lol. Glad to hear it went well.

Looking real good, John! Definitely more oooh's and Aaaah's! Steady craftin'! A little more tricky-dicky with the taper, but you seem to have it down!

Btw, Great album for your background!

 

[Melvin-Purvis]

Dayum, I'm nearly speechless. Quick, Jared, say something for me...

"Steady craftin'!", that made me laugh!

 

[SpyderPhreak]

Sumpthin'

Both sets of scales came from the same block. You can make out the same white "planet" on both handles and the shooting star by the spines.

[Melvin-Purvis]

Campy! I likes eet!

 

[Melvin-Purvis]

Summer is here, camping is in the air...

How goes it John, finding any shop time or still up to your ears?

Just curious...

'Just nod if you can hear me...'
