Knifemaking Tuesdays Week 12 - Textured Titanium framelock handles Media

Published: 12 years ago

I'm back with another exciting day of work. This week I got to put another cool idea to life, a very cool handle texture that I saw online. Jens Anso and Tashi Bharucha made a few Vitamin A knives with an amazing milled texture that I just had to try out, so I used that as inspiration to design something similar myself. The video shows the whole process of making a set of titanium handles on my little cnc mill. This is the second set of Ti handles that I've made and they turned out much better than the first ones from Week 09. Also it's the first framelock knife I've made, so that was cool. Next week I'll make a few more test blades to confirm tolerances and lockup, then a real blade, some standoffs and barrel nuts. At that point I can assemble it and have a completed working knife!!! So excited, it's been a long, fun and exciting road to get this far.
