EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

[WValtakis]

I'm still trying to figure out how he did it?? Is it stamped, engraved?

He engraved "around" the letters so they are basically raised. The checker pattern has a satin finish in contrast to the rest of the handle and the blade also has satin flats and bead blasted bevels

Wow he's got some steady hands! The letters are so crisp, looks amazing!

Thanks for the compliments!

Blues Bender pretty much nailed it, the only real info I can add is that it's done with tiny chisels, not rotary tools

Nice blade, what is that if you don't mind me asking?

VIT Knives Divergent in S125V. It's a tank.

That thing is gorgeous, nice collection.

I'm actually in the process of trading my Crossroads just like yours. I got a Micarta Blade show exclusive and I don't need two of the same knife, at least

It would be nice if I could find one of those for sale. any sales info? nothing is popping up on Google, PM me if its easier. thank you sir!

I just know you did the work on your days off

Of course...what kind of crazy job would allow you to engrave on nightshift?

Oh, agreed, 12 hour shift, everything's running good for four nights ( that's my longest stretch). That's when I get out the manuals and get caught up on the latest procedure revisions.

That Doug Ritter with the aftermarket scales. Kinda like they should have done off jump street.

Sometimes to get what you want you have to make what you want. Good news is . There isn't going to be two of them ever. Noone can claim it's their knife and it just looks like yours. Nope. You see what it says there? You remember what happened. Take the money but give me back " bad motha fuka". And he said it when meaning.

Indeed. As much as I like these, I've been toying with the idea of looking for some natural micarta for it at some point. I like the notion of it showing wear and developing a patina as a reminder of the adventures I've carried it on.

Wow!

 

[filtrum]

Man, that "instant like" achievement of yours...
Just like lightning.
I still wonder how you do that!

AAAAAAAAHHHH MAAAAAAAAAAAAANNN.....

I'm from Cleveland my area code is 216. Was lucky to get this when I had the chance around 7+ years ago! Carrying it literally makes me feel a lot safer. The release is very smooth on it, hold the scales and a quick flick gets it out faster then most auto knives.
