Well I was just browsing through Premium Knife Supply's store when I saw this beauty. The S7 "Bigger" Raptor with Stonewashed black finish. I put in a max bid of $6 and well...i won the auction.

Gluing the Red liners to the Purpleheart wood handles. Tomorrow I will shape the forward end of the scales and glue one side, then drill the for the pins and remove the excess wood before repeating the procedure for the other side.

Brad, grab a thermometer & check your temperature-- In my medical opinion, you have caught the knife customization bug - By George, I believe you are getting the hang  of this--- Can't wait to see how  this turns out--- My favorite so far is still the Raptor with the Osage Orange scales--- I like that one A LOT !!

John,
I was trying to find another one of those smaller Raptor blanks when I came across the larger version. I am thinking of doing that one in Coolibah Burl or Olivewood.

Thanks Steve. My sister's stepson requested the pairing. Turned out better than I thought.

Looking good all the way around, Brad! I can hardly wait to see what you'll do with that black/stonewashed Raptor on steroids! I'm rootin' for olive wood. *nudge nudge ~ wink wink*

I am leaning toward the Olivewood, the Coolibah Burl is darker wood and wouldn't contrast as well as the Olivewood.

There ya go! That would look awesome! And, it would definitely give you the contrast you're looking for. 

btw ~ That's a really nice looking hunk of wood you've got there! (words every man longs to hear...lol)
