Auction Knife

[Randy Lucius]

Taking this one to a charity auction tomorrow. Alabama Damascus with dyed white cedar. Orange liners and brass pins.



This one sold for $950 last year. Hoping to do well again this year.

not bad there stranger! Someday you just may learn how to do this and photograph it too !

Beautiful! Lovely handle. Good luck at the auction...

Great photos. I'm normally not a big fan of dyed woods, but boy that does look good. Who'd ever thought of white cedar looking that good. Good looking blade also, and you did a GREAT job of etching the Damascus

I like using dyed woods. It can be really nice when you find the right pieces. It's not all created equal. That's for sure.

Beautiful work, sir.

The sheath is a knock out too. Great job all the way around.

Sheath was done by JT Leather in Rio Rico AZ. Leatherwork is something I’ve played around with but not enough to get good at. I let JT handle that.

Hey Randy, what kind of dye do you use? I've been using dry powder / alcohol solvent dyes and they are really intense... and, messy. I don't seem to get the color variation that you have in your handles.
Those are some mighty fine looking knives!

Hi Bob! I don't dye them myself. I buy them from a couple of guys on Instagram. Gulf Coast Blanks and Exotic Blanks. Both guys are great to deal with and have quality products.

This year's auction knife sold for $800. I'm happy.

Knife and sheath are both gorgeous, Randy. But you teased us with the "orange liners" description and then all we got to see was one little speck in that first photo. Any chance you might add a photo that really shows off the liners?
