High Carbon/Contrast Damascus Mini Makemake Batch


Here are front and back pics of the first actual "batch" of high carbon damascus that I just finished up. All vary in thickness, according to that of the barstock each piece is made from.
left to right/bottom:Raindrop, Lizard, Calligraphy, Iguana, Crooked Iguana (I turned it diagonally when making it), and Cheetah (one of my new favs).

Hammerhead in High Carbon/High Contrast Hiro Hito Damascus




My apologies for the overly blue hue of the pics. The white background coupled with the baby blue hue of the tools must have weirded out the camera autofocus settings.
This one is a Hammerhead handmade from Chad Nichols' Hiro Hito carbon damacus.

Mosaic Finless Pryranhas


Here is a custom order in titanium with mosaic pins that I just finished up. They are based on the Pryranha design and are more keychain friendly in my opinion, featuring what I consider to be the two most important functions in a keychain tool...a good bottleopener and a pryedge. One has a wider edge (more like my usual tools), and one is narrow. I'm thinking of making these a regular offering on the website.

JDR Lizard Stainless Damascus Hammerhead


Here is the first Lizard Hammerhead handmade from Chad Nichols' Lizard stainless damascus.
