Yup...
Just a plain old file knife!!!
Almost hilarious...
Re the knife you made for me, Every one who sees it has called it gorgeous. And this from both men and women. Someone called knives "male jewelry" in one thread or another. About right...

Here it is ready to go. Smooth as glass and sharp as a razor. The inside frames are engine jeweled. I know this one is not my style but I just had to make it. Glad I did. I'm kind of proud of this one. Blade = Bifrost Scales = Plasma Timascus Bolsters = Walrus Ivory Pivot Collars = Plasma Timascus Liners = Titanium Screws = Titanium Back Spacer = Plasma Timascus Runs on Bearings ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/nG3JM6q.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/pPjWR6n.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/4SaK8uU.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/fat5YJx.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/miEJepz.jpg)

I learn a bit more with each knife I make. This one turned out very nice. Timascus is really expensive so I don't see me making another unless it's a custom order. This one lasted 10 minutes on FB

Never heard of Timascus til today. I checked out Alpha's stuff they sell
Really liked the white aztec, but a .132 billet 10" or so long is about $300 alone...
And they only have what they have. Doesn't seem like you could order any pattern/color in any particular billet dimension.

I was going to buy the pivot screws made from Timascus but they were $45 each so I just made my own, way cheaper

![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/MAsz9C7.jpg) I really like that blade profile dude. It’s got a lotta belly on it.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Your eye for materials/combinations is next level. The finished products are the most unique thing I’ve seen.

Decided to make a few folders that are a little more affordable. Here's s small folder with ADS damascus bolsters and blade. Scales are Elk antler. Runs on bearings with Titanium liners. Not a lot of bells and whistles but still smooth as glass ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/CRM8T86.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/aR9aDfS.jpg)
