As you know,oldies are not my forte. It's old, but not perfect. I'm thinking $600-700, but I don't know. Is it really a Piscatelli? Does that make it worth big bucks?

If all else fails, buy it in any scales and send to Rick Greene for a rescale. I have his contact info. He used to do work for Rick Giroux. He does gorgeous amboyna burl scales. Ebony should not be a problem.

Thank you, suh!

Hey Sam,

You know how it is with engineers; we can never quit messing with things. I thought about what Jeremy had said via email and what Jerry said here, and decided that I really needed a smoothed 5 hump version, a bit narrower (9/16" instead of 5/8").

I have been promoting the forums and a list of reference books through FB for years. I typically PM all the noobs requesting an email and then send boilerplate emails with links and explanations. Mostly they tell me that they tried to join but approvals were slow or non-existant. Worse, being unfami...

You want it wicked, even if you drive the Cutler wacko. Lol, I do, too, but I want a shot at seeing it built.

A few days back I spoke about creating a Kris blade profile by superimposing a sine wave onto a symmetric blade and the possibilities of creating infinite variations based on the wavelength and amplitude of the sine wave. That is probably too technical for most folks to visualize, so here are some e...

I check in several times each day but there is nothing new to see. I have stopped posting any new stuff as it largely goes unread and uncommented. My group on Fecesbook, Artistic Switchblade Knives, has over 1000 members but probably 25 active ones. I mostly post there.
