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

DSCN7427I 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.

   I have some other factory Al Mar’s that I have been customizing that I will be posting.  They will be going to the S.H.O.T. show for display and sale.  So check  back  for a sneak preview.

The site is up and running, although it has a few issues that we have to get figured out.  I will be posting photo’s of projects that I am working on and interesting events that I’ve been to.  Look forward to the S.H.O.T. show 2010 that is coming up the middle of January.  I have been working on some customized Al Mar knives and also some custom 888 Professional blades that can’t be shown yet.  Merry Christmas to all.  If you have any questions or comments please leave them.  Thanks

Kirk
