this knife was a few skill levels above mine, but taught me A LOT. this has a lot of Bill Harsey inspiration in it! to say that man is brilliant would be an understatement!

You did a excellent job on this knife. I know we are all influenced by many factors but it's time for A few Shokr originals.
You have the technical expertise, So let's see some?

thanks Laurence
all the ones i made are mine except the KDM
to clarify, this was my design but i got stuck on some parts (mainly handle) so i checked Bill's knives because i believe in the awesomeness and practicality of his work! thats why i say its inspired by him
some logical changes came while i am working on this knife that made it become even more like his work.
anyway i pried open the CAD file of the tactical knives + the ones i am working on now, you shant be disappointed Laurence

Yes you're doing great Shokr,
I like the swedge and your choice of the handle materials.

thank man!
not yet, but i want to, i want to etch, but since i have no money i will start trying cheap ways of doing that even though i was advised against it before
so batteries or adapter or something. but i need to look into it more, i also need stencils and i know nothing about them!

I don't know if I'm allowed to post links to other forums but I'm sure the moderators can amputate if necessary. http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?104054-Etching-the-Bushblade-way
It seems that this way looks alright, the clouded edges look deliberate here and it wouldn't be that hard to significantly improve the results I should imagine. A reliable power source (phone charger plug) and a pad that covers the whole mark would help I would imagine. This is the voice of research and not experience though.
