The Raptor... take a peek, it might worth

#1

Post by dialex »

First of all, I want to thank to all those who were interested in my work. Thank you for your support and for your advices, and yes, JamesA, it is somehow inspired by Mr. Perrin's "la griffe". I allways like to see master's work so I can be a better apprentice. Now I'd like to introduce to you one of my dream spidies: The Raptor. I'd be very interested in your oppinions about this one too. Thank you in advance.

As usually, the picture won't show up at the first posting. (It's its first public appearance, perhaps that's why it's so shy<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>, so I,m trying again.

Now that's getting frustrating... Man, do something, I only like bugs on the knives...

Sorry, but I can't make the picture to show up, as much as I try. I just hope that this bug will be fixed.

For the system administrator:

Without the picture, this topic is pointless. Will you delete it, please?

Thank you.

It works, it works, I can't belive it!
Well, maybe there's a chance...

That is pretty badass... Not sure if it would work as a production knife, but as a custom I'm sure it could happen<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Wish I was getting into folders instead of fixed blades, but they may come a few years down the road.

What program are you using for your drawings? I'm thinking about switching from what I'm currently using for a couple reasons, and would like input on what works.

Later,

I can't figure out why I like that thing, but I do. I'd carry one in a heartbeat.

That is one I'd LOVE to carry. It looks like it's a bit pricy though...

<img src=http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/372fcedb ... 8A88UxWudf> We all start with 10 fingers. Those with Spydies have 9 to spare, Still need a thumb. Good thing I still have 8 to spare... <img src=http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/372fcedb ... 8A88UxWudf>

Neat. Kinda like a MT Vector without the hawsbill part of the tanto. I think that the handle could use some grooves ala Salsa to make it more ergonomic and for a more secure grip. Overall though, I like it alot. Great job!

Hey dialex :

Try the e-mail address I gave you for Sal
Glesser ( president ) and get this one rollin'! The more wicked a blade looks, the
more easier an attacker is fended off! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
I REALLY think you have something there, dialex, maybe it's just my personal taste.
I also like the "avante garde" appearence of
the Bradichansky "Spydercard" & "Shabaria"!
You may even end up a <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> "custom collaborator" <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Keep up the good work.
BTW the "Delica" is already in the mail. Enjoy!
