Boker Automatic… We are blessed in Texas to be able to carry autos legally. I do telecom and IT work and I am on ladders often… So easy to open one handed and still be safe on a ladder.
Best Regards

Blessed indeed! Thanks for showing your well used precious!
Be safe up there!
You know what actually works really well if you need a quick little sharpen while you’re in the field or on the job, for a cheap knife, is these things.
They’re like 99 cents on AliExpress and they work just as well as the $10 sharpel ones. I have like 5 of them around the place and the ceramic part is really good for getting twice as much useful life out of a utility knife blade.
I kinda want to make a knife now. But I don’t want to buy steel I’ve already got much steel. And much fire, blocks of graphite, die grinders, angle grinders, a little anvil and a big hammer. How hard is this really… Where do you start. Throw some metal in a block of graphite and point much fire at it? I can do this

Congratulations! the engraving looks Muy Sano!

Thanks, appreciate it. Number 11 is my EDC. I just put another hour on a piece of 5000 grit paper, mirror mirror on the wall, geesh who’s that ugly dude gawking at me from inside my blade?!

I’ve seen (and done) the toilet paper tube cut test and it kinda boggles my mind. Saw one guy line it up then with a lightning quick move baddaboom, two tubes! So I tried that, it’s just ridiculously entertaining!
The hair on my left arm will probably grow back someday…

I, uh, accidentally had number 11 etched as number 12 in a rush to gift it to my Sister for Christmas. So… my EDC blade became 0011 instead of the 12th design. Price of working on multiples simultaneously. Same blade but an inch longer and with Bolivian Rosewood scales.

I can’t wait for No.15 to get finished, lovin it even though I made it too big. Might carry it some but likely will not. 7.25” is a lot of blade! That burl Mesquite though, going to be insane polished out!
1 Thank
Don’t know why I bought this knife. Can’t get that damn tune out of my head. Medford smooth criminal
Do you like it? Is it smooth?
Medfords are typically pretty stiff when new but tend to break in well.
Got out my real camera gear and played around with Macro, examining the work of the new guy on the laser engraver. Pretty darn snazzy! I THOUGHT I was getting the blade pretty mirror finished, guess we’re looking too close! Lol

That little silver dot, inside the black dot in the B? Thats where I am in the State. The black dot is about the size of my entire town! Thought it would be neat to hide the point of concept in the logo. Lol Difficult for the laser to resolve that kind of detail, the dot is supposed to be a heart. Deep in the Heart of Texas! (It’s a saying/song)

Maybe you get a heart when you make the B-loop and the heart one stroke?
Or you go super small and draw a curved v
There are reasons the style is not easily changed, it is what it is. In small part, that DB has been my signature for almost half a century.
I am not overly fond of the boldness of the script on the reverse, and wish the logo were at least a little more visible, the logo was drawn up to capture true detail without losing perspectives and given the size aspect, not much can be done.
The signature was done on a Wacomb tablet, never needed a finer resolution before so I didn’t realize just how noisy the tablet was. Thinking of signing with a quality pen and photographing that in high resolution, should improve the signature aspect and possibly allow a small change.
Things to look at before standardizing.
