Anything new guys?

Comment by Alexander Noot on January 28, 2013 at 3:02

Thanks Randy, (and call me Alexander please, Mr. Noot is my Dad ;-) )

The handle is one of the canine teeth (corner tooth) of a tiger. The customer came to me with the specific request to turn that into a knife handle.  One of the main problems with that was the fact that it was almost completely hollow. So I filled it up with a resin type material.

He also wanted something with a forge finish. So I did that (it's a reforged Nicholson file) and I polished out the flats to give it a nice bit of contrast.

I polished the tooth a little but hardly touched it since the customer wanted it to look as natural as possible. Pretty much everything down from the white spike on it is the root of the tooth.

That's a nice neck knife. I love the way you do your logo in the handle itself. Seen you do that a few times. What kind of technique do you use to get something like that done?

Thanks Mr Noot. :)  That knife is awesome! what is that handle? 

I agree its worthy of your signature .  for sure!

You did a fine job on this one Alexander, it deserved to be the first one with a signature

Comment by Alexander Noot on January 26, 2013 at 4:24

Just finished something

Made a sheath for it

Gave it a nice shine

And for the first time EVER put my name on a knife (by special request from the customer...I kind of like it. Think I'll do it more often)
