KEYFOBS in Mini Skirmish Design - WIP Pics

Some guys brought me to make some keyfobs with design of the Mini Skirmish. Maybe the Pimpsqueak will follow.

The one on the phone is Chad Nichols 3 tone Mokume which really looks cool in person. The top one of the 3 on the left is a Uli Hennicke damascus. The middle on is made of mammoth ivory and the lower is made of wood. Now back to the knives....

LEFTY Mini Skirmish - WIP Pics #2

Here's everthing deburred and ready to be drilled. Friction sawing is fast but it leaves a huge burr. I rather cut it fast and deburr it than slow cut. That takes forever! The drawing is the CAD, you can see the CNC fixture in the background.

Now i have to mill the frame grooves and lock slots as well as few more non lock side frames AND some backspacers.

SURPRISE - Maxi Melee AUCTION

For auction goes my biggest fixed blade so far, the Maxi Melee!

This one features a hand rubbed blade and carbon fiber scales with blue and black spacers. At this point it's not sharpened so I can do one or both edges. I can also heat color the screws if needed. It does not come with a sheath. I'll be glad to ship it to your favorite sheath maker.


This will be the ONLY Maxi in '11 I might make a smaller, 5" version but not another Maxi!!
This auction will end at 1pm TOMORROW, eastern US time.
I'm going to put a $900 reserve on it. Paypal payment very much preferred.
