GITD Powder! Glowing SAK!

Some time ago I got a request to make a scales for SAK with some glowing engravings. I have bought a few types of glowing powder to check how it works as I haven't used it very often before. I was really really surprised how bright it is. Each color is different. Some can glow for 12 hours when other only for an hour. Some need to be exposed to light for an hour while other will glow after a few minutes. Green has the best parameters so after mixing with epoxy resin from West Systems(it is very transparent)  I used it to fill the engravings...

Anodized Tactical Fishes with logo

I finally made Tactical Fishes with logo engraved. It was also an opportunity to check some new voltage anodization techniques. I made one green-violet(pink?) fish and one violet-blue. There are also standard dark blue and light blue anodized fishes.

Vault Opener Review

It is not often when I get a proffessional review so I am really happy to invite you to a review made by David Bowen from multitool.org. He got first piece of  my Vault Opener titanium prybar and has been used it for a year. Review to be checked here: multitool.org
Thanks David!

Set of leather sheaths for TLIM knives

Fortunately I don't forget how to make sheaths ;) I have finally finished two leather sheaths for Lukasz. He wanted to have a set of two similar sheaths for his knives made by Mariusz "TLIM" Przybyłowski. I have been making these sheaths for many months... Lukasz thank you for being so patient! I hope you will like them :)

Leather was finished with Fiebing's Professional Oil Dye (Dark Brown and Black), SNO SEAL and Gum Tragacanth for edges. Shock cord is used to pull away a strap. All parts are detachable if needed. Sheath can be attached in vertical and horizontal position. There will also be a kydex holster for a firestarter like here but I will probably not make new photos.. Picture with firestarter added.

Please enjoy the pictures of beautiful Tlim knives with my sheaths, and stay tuned as I have to catch up on posts on my blog. Finally I hope to have some more free time so I should be able to answer missed emails.

New gallery! Pictures from Customers

I always wanted to have a gallery with pictures from my customers... In last month I got many fantastic pictures from you and finally I am able to do that! Below are only some example photos.
To watch the whole gallery you can click here:

or find a link on the right panel of the blog.
Thank you very much for the pictures and if you have some more I would be very happy to add them. I love to see when my works are used. I especially like the pictures with my works being a part of your EDC stuff :)

Annoucement

Hello! Because of a great number of emails I get every day I need to ask you for some patience. I will for sure answer all of them, but I am doing it in my free time, after my main job. First I need to find that free time. Also I am afraid that I will need to stop taking orders for SAK scales probably for a couple of months. I need to finish some old orders and would like to focus on new projects not related with Victorinox knives. One picture of my new SAK scales logo so you would not hate me so much ;) Cheers!

Carbon

Just wanted to show you fresh delivery of Carbon Fiber sheets and fabrics I got last week. It is nicely polished and looks beautiful! Finally I have direct comparison of 1x1(plain) and 2x2(twill) carbon. Can't wait to make some scales out of it. Also I need to try if the fabric can be used to produce some leather-carbon fiber combo sheats ;)

Spyderco Pingo scales 2

Finally after making many SAK scales me and my brother have managed to master 'production' of scales for another knife model - Spyderco Pingo. Here I have showed the first set of scales which we made for this knife: Spyderco Pingo first scales
These are upgraded with the new logo. I think it fits very well.
Hope you will like it as much as SAK scales, because I will probably make some more ;)
