A gallery of past work. 

A few of the pieces were done by some very talented modders from MTO as well. 

Enjoy

Hey - You like your stonewash eh?

I was going to ask what was the green liner in the black handled 58mm Vic and then I saw all the luminous stuff .......

WOW

How is that done???
Is it just a luminous material charged up or is there some sort of power source.

What ever it is ..... LOVE IT  :)

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.

First is a WIP cadet with 91mm scissors and black G10 Liners and filler.  G10 is far superior to the stock liners in my opinion offering extreme stiffness.  I've used it on a ton of builds.  The scissors were a pain and not a process I think I'd like to repeat but much cheaper than the alternative!

Started this today.  Need to send the liners to powdercoat tomorrow.  Clip on order as well.  May take another week to finalize and to Be honest I'm dying to see the end result.

Enjoy.

Needed to add the 84MM file into a 93mm.  Left as is the file nail nick would sit well below the scale.  This was the best solution for me.  Made a little brass stop by drilling a hole into the spring rest vertical and tapping brass into the hole horizontally.  Perfect fit.

Still a favorite.  Hope its being enjoyed.

I'll be darned... That one has exactly the tools I need in SAK and none that I don't need.

No, although I do like the blades on that one.  :drool:
The one I have is a Victorinox Explorer, with alox-scales (is it called, scales, when it's alox?), from a fake SAK. I won it in GAW in here, a few months ago.  :climber:

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.


How will you be able to do that now that the scales are glued on? Or we're you kidding?
Title: Re: Oh how I love to RUIN swiss army knives

I guess this Climber was just a proof of concept and he now will do a knife with stonewashed tools, copper liners and wood scales.

Nice Nickname - And indeed he seems to be just that - And of polish, beeswax and linseed oil, too maybe. He does gorgeous scales.
I guess some scales with vivid grain would look great on one of your stonewashed SAKs.

12 in one day sounds like one fifth the amount needed to be made so I can have some built.

Also when I want your opinon I will ask DMac for it.

Good job Rick.

Also just to be clear I am just busting your chops Rick take your time and enjoy the process. No hurry.

tonight we have a special build.

Titanium with BRASS liners and spacer.

My only set.  I added these per buyers request.  I am just so giving :).  Happy they will be enjoyed in what is easily my favorite build to date.

Enjoy.  It was a pleasure putting this one together.

Thank you.  Yet to hear back from the person I built it for so I hope he/she is content.

fun and games have come to an end I'm afraid.  Just too much drama and backstabbing from those you thought were professional.  Haha bye bye

Seems to me like a cheap shot at Syph007, ALM and other makers who make their own scales. Not a very nice way to start a year. :td:

Everyone here has a right to say what they want as long as it doesn't violate the rules.

Was not a stab at anyone.  Nothing but respect for all those you mentioned.  I also make and have made my own scales for a fairly long time.

If anyone should feel like they got suckerpunched today, I'll hold a hand up.

I somehow thought this was a "Goodbye, mean ol' world" post.  Am I mistaken?  ???
