The Sam Cade Thread of Knifey Goodness

[SuperNaut]

And a knife meme is born.

 

[Sam Cade]

I hope so.

The line that Mr.Robbins is delivering at the moment is:

"Would an Imbecile make THIS?"

 

[JShirley]

The shape is mostly correct, but the lanyard hole should be smaller and not at the outside edge.

 

[Sam Cade]

Drop-pointed, bullnosed, tailhooked,sorta-tanto roughed out.

 

[JShirley]

Good god, that's ugly.

Good handle shape, though. Tailhook may be slightly too prominent.

 

[jerkface11]

I see it with black metal and bright red handle scales.

It is so ugly that it transcends ugliness and comes back around the arc of space time and redefines our perceptions of truth and beauty in such a matter that the knife ain't bad lookin'.

Good handle shape, though. Tailhook may be slightly too prominent.

Spec was for maximum grip security. Ergo: aggressively textured scales, jimping and mondo-tailhook.

I see it with black metal and bright red handle scales.

It is getting Blue/Black layered G10.

Good taste! That is the same stuff I'm using for my knife that I'm making. Granted I'm sure it won't turn out as nice as yours but I've never made one before... and I'm using a hacksaw and files.

All it takes is practice.

Decent music on the sound system helps too.

and I'm using a hacksaw and files.

You can do it! I believe in you.
Until recently, Aron Gough was hand filing all of his knives.

Good Taste!

Don't look at me. I was agitating for wacky colors but got outvoted.

Ozment Mk.II ready for heat treatment.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Glocks are butt ugly, but the form serves a very specific function.

This is no different.

Great work , Sam.

 

[JShirley]

I drew that li'l "American tanto" with your wife in mind.

Taillhooked utility wharncliffe in 1084,deep etch finish, Burlap and resin scales.

Took some of the usual swell out of the grip on this one. It was not an improvement.



Burlap/Resin fauxcarta sheet.

 

[Deltaboy1984]

Sam I love that Wariffin blade knife.

 

[Shanghai McCoy]

The whole knife looks cool but I am diggin' the burlap fauxcarta scales.

 

[Sam Cade]

The burlap has a odd feel to it. It is more abrasive than canvas micarta or G10 at low grits. Oh, and the dust is super itchy.
Shadetree Phenolics makes burlap blocks with West Systems Epoxy (instead of the 3M resin that I use) that are popular with some knife makers but I've never seen any in person to know if they finish out smoother.

Good god, that's ugly.

Giant mustache knife!

Just go ahead and make a D-guard! You know you wanna.

Ermagherd.


Give me a second I have to take a picture.

 

[Sam Cade]

Very nice Sam. Nothing like a steel mustache.

 

[Double_J]

The "knifestache" gave both my girlfriend and I a good laugh. Well done sir, well done.

P.S. the knife looks good too.

 

[hso]

The steel 'stash! You'll need that angle grinder for a trim.

 

[bikerdoc]

The wharncliffe for the win! Fantastic design and I bet you sell a bunch!

Soiled.....

He's kissin it !
