Bad-Ass Custom Made Knife Build

Image

I have been working with my buddy Spencer who is a custom knife maker on designing a knife for contractors. He made a few fucking bad-ass knives and photographed and videoed the entire process.

Anyway – if you have never seen a custom made knife being made you have to check it out [this was my first time seeing the knife making process, it is amazing], it is like watching a painter – except you can stab someone with the painting

If you haven't checked out the whole thread over at DVM and are even remotely interested in the process, you're missing out.

The process of going from a paper drawing to finished custom blade is fascinating. You did a great job of "lifting the veil" on that!

I like the design too. I'm a man of peace, but checking out that blade filled me with the urge to stab someone ^^

If the price isn't too crazy, I will see if the wife will let me have one for Christmas.

Great article, great knife.
