A more proper view of my Jedi Master, really glad I went with it as the Green / Bronze really looks nice I think. The others kind of looked "Plain" to me I guess.

Love Jake's stuff. I've been after an A15 or Kwaiback for a while now. What do you think of it? We've got similar tastes on blades.

That is a beauty, sir!

Who made it? Custom or midtech? Model name? Blade length and thickness?

rhino likey. It may not be the maker's intent, but looks like a Scandinavian knife from . . . THE FUTURE!

Jake Hobak Kwaiback. I've been told this was part of the first runs which the blades were thicker. Thing is a tank and feels great. Blade sharpens easily and holds a good edge so far. Action is very smooth. But....2 owners ago couldn't sharpen worth a shat so it had some stone marks and uneven bevels on the edge. Friend I got this from polished a lot of the marks on the blade out and I've started blending all the edges on the bevel. Could use a spa treatment but it's a user so maybe not.

It's a slender tank, kinda dig it.

I'll have to post specs later

Specs..

Steel: S35VN
Thickness: .186"
Blade Length: 3 3/4"

Doug Ritter was kind enough to send me this photo he had taken of this knife that I donated to his fund raiser.
It is forged from a piece of 5160 has a 3.25 inch blade and the scales are Madrone Burl.

This has been an expensive month for my knife addiction. Of course, it doesn't help that Brad is always willing to help me out when I need a "fix"

Really liked how this photo turned out, Emerson Custom Super Roadhouse and a Wilson Combat Professional

I made the blade (with help from a friend) and a different friend did the scales. Guyacayan is the wood, one I am very fond of and one that grows all over Puerto Rico. My friend lives in PR, making it free. He trims tress for folks and take home the wood and seasons it so he can make handles for folks he likes and of course himself.

That's a really nice karambit, warthog .... good job. Those handle scales look smooth as butter !

I don't have any knife-making skills, so I have to buy mine.
Not wanting to turn into a rhino (just teasin', big buddy !), I also purchased a nylon trainer. I'm still in the process of perfecting my flip-n-grip.

 

[warthog]

Believe Me, I can't do it now,it's one I made awhile back and just had my friend re-do the scales. He does a very nice job and they are as smooth as butter. The wood feels so nice and he fits them to me so it really is nice, wish I could do that...

Anyway, I buy them as well, nice looking one you have too, I have an aluminum trainer and buddy made back when he had one of those water things that cut metal. I smoothed it some but it is basically just as he sent it.

who made your trainer?

 

[MindfulMan]

who made your trainer?

It's a company called "Blades USA" (honestly, I'd never heard of them before)
I purchased it from Amazon.
