TalkBlade.Info Knife Forums

Many thanks to you, Tryker!!!

I've combed Talk Blade Forum and did a search, and after hours have turned up nothing. Can you help?
Sincerely,

Yes, those are brass bolsters. It used to have wood scales on it, and it looked good the way it was, but I wanted to take the chance on abalone, and it paid off. Rick uses the following when rescaling: wood, all kinds of horn, micarta, abalone (which is a veneer over micarta or black horn), and pick...

This is a 13 inch INOX standard blade that I had Rick rescale with abalone. I don't have it in hand yet, but this is the picture he sent me.

I emailed this thread to Rick and his reply to me was "Wow he must like it...Rick". Anyone who wants to spiff up a knife with new scales can reach him by writing to him at giroux_rick@hotmail.com He's been a knife dealer for ten years, but for the most part is "incognito" and keeps a low profile. He...

Hey Greggo, I'm glad things worked out for you and that Rick did such a nice job! Rick sent me this picture of your knife, and I'm thinking of having my imitation ivory swing done also. He says that the abalone looks best on the bigger knives. I'm glad that you like the nine inch AB abby that I sent...

I was in JerrBear's neck of the woods last weekend, so I stopped in. I got to hold Thor's Hammer, and let me tell you, it is mos heavy, and of course beautiful. But, out of total reverence, I did not fire it

Hi JerrBear! This is truly a magnificent knife...great catch! Great job, Mr. Dog! What a work of art!

Nice, Nice, JAC!!! Awesome horn and blade! Other than one pissed off Elk, you have the admiration of many

This is THE most radical and unique custom knife that I've seen to date!!! Awesome work, you hound you! Nice catch, Sammy!

Enough cannot be said about the beauty of the horn! Frank told me in his email that he had gotten some Brazilian horn from the USA, now I know from whom. It does indeed look so rare! And you did such a nice job on the certificate, Bernie! Thanks for sharing! Barbara

I would love to get "burned" by Burn! Looks like solid sterling silver bolsters and end to me. I love seeing his work! Thanks for sharing!

This one sure makes my beloved twice Milano's look mos' shabbyness...

I've SEEN those "twice Milanos". Me thinks you are a tad modest. But, I suppose this LLO will make them pale in comparison.

Hi JerrBear, I've never seen an LLO kit before, it reminds me of a Leverletto. Come to think of it, it probably is :oops: This is very beautiful. I for one do not think that the fileworking looks gawdy, it looks great! Ya did good, Jerr! Congratulations!! Barb yeah,it "is" an actaul leverletto that...
