NDunham 0 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 that is so sick. It's nice that the rope twists the same way as the cable support Appalachian miners - smith with American coal Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Pyron 0 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Well I'll be damned!!! That is one of the wildest knives I've ever seen! That is so extremely creative what you've done with that rope, did you do it by your vacuum method like the way you stabilze wood? Well anyway, it just looks freakin awesome with that robust cable pattern in the blade, and the mokume guard just really sets the whole thing off! Unbelievable! Link to post Share on other sites

Jim P 0 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 That's a great way of doing a handle, goes great with the cable. I never would of thought of something like that, brilliant. Jim Link to post Share on other sites

Pat B 1 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Epoxied rope? that is indeed a sweet idea, how did you do it? just spread some epoxy on the rope or was there a differnt method?

MassArtTom 0 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hey I was wondering, you always seem to do the same three patterns? You've obviously got a suberb amount of skill and know what your doing, but you only (or at least have on your website) seem to do the cable, san mai, and chain stuff? Why did you pick those specificly? I only ask because its weird to me that someone of your caliber and technical knowledge would limit themselves. Tempest Craft Link to post Share on other sites
Ariel Salaverria 2 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 The short answer is that I really like cable and the San Mai technique allows a pretty but abusable knife. That said, I've stopped the orders taking for a while so I can get to make A LOT of new stuff I have in my mind 2010 is going to be a really interesting year Ariel Ariel Salaverria Link to post Share on other sites
