I, too, have been following the WIP posts on IG. While the knives easily speak for themselves, watching the process does elevate my appreciation for them and the joy of ownership even more.

Thank you, Chris, for sharing these pics and explaining the many steps that go into the creation of your pieces.

It really does. I'm always really happy to see WIP pictures, and it's really great to see mine in there. Really thrilled to get my first OK&T.

Now it will need pants, though...

What is the wood used in that Vildmark in the top row, middle? Looks kind of like Buckeye? Super gorgeous.

I believe you are referring to natural California Buckeye Burl.





RobbieB said:
I do this every time. Then when I see Chris's finished product, I'm completely happy with it and glad I made the choices I did. My Warthog from the group buy late last year is one of my favorite knives in my collection.

@RobbieB I am happy you are happy!


@madcap_magician, ivory G10 is a beautiful choice and makes a stunning knife. Any lighter color handle can show transfer though. If you reach out to @bonafide, I would mention the ivory. He may have some recommendations to limit/prevent color transfer from the sheath. Any transfer would only be slight, and it comes off easily, but you may be interested in avoiding that maintenance if possible.[/QUOTE]

Good advice!




madcap_magician said:
That's a good tip, thanks. I usually prefer natural leather for sheaths and holsters anyway.
Looks like California buckeye burl to me, either gray/yellow-dyed or natural.

You are correct Natural Buckeye Burl

Chris posted up all the Vildmarks with rough shaped handles on his Instagram yesterday if anyone who doesn't already follow his IG wants to get a sneak peak. Looking good!! :thumbsup:
