Wow, that thing looks angry!
Can't wait to see it all filed and scaled up!

Very Very Very Nice!
Sat typing in a pool of drool... That is an amazing blade already. It will be the subject of huge amounts of envy when subjected to your usual scaling artistry, I have no doubt.
One one question. When's your order book opening?

Well I just moved a couple weeks ago and just got all my electrical in the shop area hooked up. Now though I am taking a job where I'll be traveling a lot (for the next 2 weeks to start!) so I am not really sure yet. I'd love to get to the point where I could just make knives, but I have to start selling some first! I'm sure I'll let people know when I'm ready lol!

That is one very sweet blade! Show me in line to buy one just like that one - seriously! I'll even take it without scales!
What's the length from the tip of the toe spike to the tip of the tang in a straight line? I can see a set of MOP/ebony scales with silver inlay that has a shape that'll compliment and exaggerate parts of the design.
Seriously, Jimbo should have a unique design but I want one very similar - just round off the heel spike for me or I'll need stitches in my ear. Maybe indent both sides of the tang/shaft to allow inlay/cover with MOP there on both sides... Jimps on the rear half of the big hump... that should keep Jimbo's unique. It's just too wickedly cool looking. Gotta have one!!!!!
Out of curiosity, I can't really see the width of the spine in the photo - are you going to hollow ground it or go as a wedge? Either way I want one! I just traced the outside lines of it to use to design a set of scales to fit. Quote me an amount and I'll send it just to reserve a place in line for the next one!
A seriously good design and expert craftsmanship Philadelph.Last edited by AirColorado; 06-29-2009 at 08:00 PM.
