Thread: What Would Your Custom Look Like

Like a couple others I'm also waiting for a Williams that I ordered the beginning of January.

7/8 Damascus
Leaf and Vine worked back
Barber's notch
Thumb notch
jimps top and bottom
Brazilian Cherry scales

Can't wait.

I'm still so hooked on the Livi/Takeda with rams horn scales, I'm kind fo traditional on design but a long tail with a spanish point would be enough for me...

Mmmm I need to order another Takeda kitchen knife,,,,

Nice, is that a drawing or a 3d rendering? I'd be curious what you used if it's a rendering.

Ebony scales with enameled flag insert. Damascus blade( not sure on the pattern.) Silver pins. Some file work on the spine and grip area.

HERE IS THE FULL SIZE VERSION

Just 2d done in Photoshop 7.0 I have done 3d stuff in the past, but for most of what I do now, I just use photoshop.

My custom? Probably a 5/8 French point with a worked spine, funky jimps, and scales made from the antlers of my first buck (which I've yet to shoot).

If possible, I'd like the cartridge casing to be melted down and reformed to create the spacer for the scales. That might be a bit much though...

Come on guys, lets see some drawing or modeling skills.

7/8 Damascus Spanish point blade and monkey tail; quarter hollow ground
Ivory with some tasteful etching (undecided on specifics); optionally bone or horn scales
Some appropriate filework on the blade that was appropriate to the blade and scales.

A free perfect razor.

How's this?

Perhaps not the 'perfect' razor, but it would certainly be fun to own.

I'm not so much about form, as long as function is superb. But form must be fun.

I call it the Beast. Something that has the aura of its possibility to do terrible damage.

Dark wood (or finish) scales, double inlay for the eyes (on both sides, of course), and black pins. The teeth would be ivory; just a touch.

A very wide (7/8 or 8/8) carbon blade with a mirror finish on the face, except the 'teeth' of the lower jaw, the spine, tang, and tail will all either be etched, engraved (as the case may require) or 'brushed' to stand out wonderfully. Simple filed jimps along the tang.

A long enough tang so my fingers aren't cramped while shaving, and enough tail to not be understated.

Ernest, I like that idea! Looks cool if the razor could form the bottom jaw like in the pic!
