Tiamat/Thiamat the Stellite 6K DragonToe
These pics stink, as I had to take them in the house since it's dark. I think this one will remain a one-of-a-kind, so I can give it a formal name. I've been wanting to name one of these "Tiamat" after the DND main dragon. I was never into DND, but did watch the animated Saturday morning cartoon in the '80s, and always loved and was impressed by that dragon/character. I'll get better pics posted (daylight) tomorrow.This thing is sharp as hell, and actually scares the fine hairs off my arm; no shaving required. Also, I believe this is my first Stellite 6K blade.

Double Glowsaic Makemake in Titanium
Here are some pictures of the double Glowsaic Makemake in titanium. The top pic shows the two different mosaic pins from the front. The second pic is the tool from the back. What's is really neat is, if you look closely, you can see that the pin toward the front of the tool (the pryend) is hollow in the center, and I was able to get the glow goo to dribble through by applying heat with the heat gun when setting the pins and epoxy. This is also a very handy trick when trying to get out all bubbles before drying;) The result is a visible blue pinprick of light visible on the back of the tool. Pic three shows the pins glowing in low light, and pic four is the one where you can see the glowing epoxy from the back.

"Glowsaics"
Wow, it has really been awhile since my last post. I've been extremely busy lately, and between the making, the shipping, the website, and the forum, I've had my hands full.
Here is a recent idea; I made up a titanium Mini Makemake today, and drilled the 1/8" hole for the mosaic pin. On the face (front) of the tool, I chamfered the hole down some, and then installed the mosaic pin. Chamfering the hole leaves a graduated gap between the pin and the tool, and I filled in the gap with ultrablue glowepoxy. Turned out pretty cool I think, and should be even better when I can get ahold of more ultragreen (brighter).
I'll be making a Glowsaic option available very soon (likely tomorrow when I can update the site) for all of the current titanium tools I'm making.
