Bladeshow Pimpsqueaks - WIP Pics

I've 7 Pimpsqueaks in the works. I awaiting some visitors before the show, so i hope some Pimps will make it to Blade! ;-)

Inlay PIMPSQUEAK in the work - WIP Pics

As i mentioned, i will make a few Pimpsqueaks before and for the Bladeshow. On this one i still need to rub the damascus, sharpen the blade and put my logo on it. This new Chad Nichols damascus is nice!! It looks more traditional yet it's stainless and it's BOLD. I forgot to mention, the blade has an old school Curr currvy top swedge. Once the damascus is rubbed, it will be much easier to see! Stay tuuuuuned! ;-)

MINI SKIRMISH - Annoucement

To the Progress of the Mini Skirmish, with 15 days to the show, I had an epiphany. I still have a few Pimpsqueaks to finish. I have Pimpsqueak components ready to build. At this point it would make MUCH more sense for me to build some Pimpsqueaks to bring to Blade instead of trying to finish Mini Skirmish's. I realized I promised to bring a few to the show but I would MUCH rather build the first ones in a more stress free state of mind.


If someone might be interested in a Pimpsqueak let me know. I'll be finishing and needing to move a few between now and the show. I have all sorts of inlays and damascus blades with matching pocket clips. Shoot me a PM in CK&G or an email if interested. I'll be full speed ahead with the Mini Skirms the week after the show!
