I caved and bought a Medford Emperor fixed blade. Hefty .270” S35VN tip to glassbreaker. Then I carved Mammoth Molar slabs for new scales, this is from the rear tooth of an ice age mammoth…. 12,000 to 50,000 years old! Turned out really nice. Made a new Kydex sheath and plan to wrap it in elephant leather, have the material but need to recover from the scales.
After 23 days, my Cold Steel clone came in, quality is much better than expected:
This will be my go-to knife for opening flashlight mail, packages, and anything else. It was very sharp out of the box.

I was looking for something elaborate, worthy of The Emperor, fell in love with this when I saw it. Not exactly easy to pull off, not exactly cheap either! At least it’s unique! Lol
We need to see this again.
All I can say is wow no wait “WOW” Love it. Mammoth Molar scales amazing so unique .
I have a weak spot for big knifes already and can only dream of owning a Medford one day but this one takes the cake prehistoric scales out of this world.
Thanks for sharing.
That is the Armatus Architect. I can’t recall if the pattern was custom but at the very least you could shoot him an email. They are very nice sheaths.
Newest acquisition from Blade Show, Microtech UTX-70 with carbon handle and bronze blade, button, clip and hardware. Been wanting one of these for a while and finally found one for the right price. This thing is TINY!
