Very nice tool combo. That happen to be one of the Cutlery Shoppe Farmers? I so that was a fast turn around.

yes, cutlery shoppe.

Very nice

If I had the money I'd buy it

The electrician blade is one of my most used on the Alox I have...

Some experimenting. Solid copper scales.

Those look great.

nj2656 · **Reply #36 on:** May 11, 2014, 03:45:17 PM

Those look really good with the tumbled tools. Very industrial.

Nice!

I like the real copper vs. the anodized alox copper...

Makes me think it wants to be an electrician for some reason.

With an engraved lightning bolt maybe?

If that's how you "ruin" SAK's, I'd hate to see you go all out on improving one...

Oh, and those glowing liners - and scales... drool-worthy.

New one for the collection. I will add a nail file in lieu of awl at some point.

SOLID COPPER SCALES
Stonewashed tools
Brass liner and spacer kidnapped from an old cross donor.

Enjoy.

That looks good now but I imagine it'll be amazing in a year or so.

I like the light color ones. Is that tan?

rickinFL · **Reply #43 on:** May 15, 2014, 01:08:32 AM

goldish. Arcade Token gold.

Enjoy I did!

I like the looks very much - Will you keep it so that you are able to give us updates on the Patina this evolves?

I may have already posted this earlier, but I love copper and brass. That is so drool-worthy, I would love to own one of those but without the stonewash finish. Great job!

stealth007s · **Reply #46 on:** May 16, 2014, 06:50:22 AM

The copper and brass is very classy

rickinFL · **Reply #47 on:** May 17, 2014, 05:43:13 PM

still needs a few touches and final peen...

and I'm not done yet. Still need to ano the liners, add a clip and final peen.

Made a friend for my copper pioneer

captain spaulding · **Reply #51 on:** May 18, 2014, 04:29:22 AM

Very nice as always! I'm sure your Pioneer appreciates the company.

Very nice Rick

rickinFL · **Reply #53 on:** May 18, 2014, 07:49:29 PM

Practicing with an older climber. Gluing wood to a knife and shaping it was far easier than I imagned. Now the real trick will be copper liners and my signature stonewash treatment.

What kind of wood is that? I really like it

rickinFL · **Reply #55 on:** May 19, 2014, 01:31:08 AM

snakewood. it was the thinnest wood scales I could find. I really want palm or olive.

stealth007s · **Reply #56 on:** May 19, 2014, 01:35:52 AM

It is very nice!¡!

rickinFL · **Reply #57 on:** May 19, 2014, 01:42:17 AM

Thank you. It's off to it's new home in trade for an older MillerMod AA Arc light. can hardly wait to have that sucker land!

84mm lumberjack with scissors. Still needs attention but it's getting there.
