Customized Al Mar Payara with Green Inferno Kirinite handle
This is a new color being distributed by Eagle Grips, I believe it is Green Inferno. I was sent a set of scales to try on an Al Mar Payara. It works very easily with standard belt grinders. As it heats up it tends to warp but as it cools it always comes back to straight. I ground it down to about .125 before putting it on this Payara. I would like to get some comments on the material and the color. Is it something you would carry? Thanks Kirk
Once again I have been busy prepairing for the Shooting Hunting and Outdoor Trade show, or S.H.O.T. show as it is called. It is a dealers only show that all the companys in the trade come to and present there product. It is held in various places throught the country but will be in Las Vegas this year and for several years to come. As always I will be attending with Al Mar the knife company, we will set up our booth on the main floor and have many beautiful knives to display. One new product I have been working on this year is customizing there Eagle Classic folder with Elk antler. Now this isn’t just any Elk antler, it is sheds from the Elk Song ranch in Oregon. The top picture shows the donor antlers and the lower photo shows five of the finished knives. They will be availible through Al Mar exclusivly. I will be in Vegas for 7 days so be looking for more on the show when I return. I will try and take lots of photo’s to post so you can get a feel for the show. There is a larger picture of the five knives on my home page and Featured knife. Thanks for looking and check back.
Here are Five Eagle Classics with beautiful Mammoth Tooth scales that were commissionedby Al Mar Knives. Through my design work for the company it was decided that I should do a few custom handles. These will be done in a very limited number. The mammoth tooth is all natural colors, they where not dyed to achieve the different shades of brown with white bands. Mammoth tooths is kind of tricky to work with as it is thin and prone to crack and break. I glue the scales to a .015 thick piece of black fiber material. This stabilizes it and helps it hold to the handle when glued up also. It is ground very thin once it is glued to the knife, then sanded down to 800 grit and polished. It takes on such a shine you can look right into it. If you have any questions or comments about mammoth tooth and it’s properties just let me know. These knives will be for sale by Al Mar Knives and are headed for the S.H.O.T. show. Thanks for looking Kirk
I Just finished this Custom Al Mar Havana Clipper and sent it to a collector in Germany. The Clipper is a great little knife with many uses, not just the snipping of cigars. This one has explosion damascus blade, white Mammoth ivory handle with ivory in the thumb stud. Gold anodized titanium liner with full filework. A true one of a kind piece.
