I would like to show you some works of a bead maker Markus Thoma from Switzerland. I met him when he was searching for a kitchen folder as his EDC :). Soon it occured that he makes some of the best beads I have ever seen. He uses two kinds of material for his beads: Titanium and Zirconium. Titanium is a well known material but Zirconium is something I didn't know... Unlike titanium, it can be heated to get a black color! This great effect you can see in the pictures. What was even more surprising to me, Markus is using very simple tools to make the beads but all of them are perfectly finished.
These two beads below Markus designed and made especially for my WAR Squirrel Friction Folder. I think it fits the knife perfectly. I hope this is not the last time when we are making a cooperation like this ;) Thanks Markus!
