So after a lot of thought I decided to change my brand. The cobra thing wasn’t working. I decided to go with something friendlier and more approachable as a knife maker. I plan on making fun colourful designs so the angry venomous snake just wasn’t going to work. Since I’m a huge space nerd and well, monkeys are awesome...
Cool name and logo. I love it!

Re: Liquid Cobra is making some knives..
Made another wharncliffe after work tonight. This time with peel ply g10. Neato.
I don’t know why, but I like the small fixed blades. Has Spyderco ever made a tiny fixed blade for edc?

LC, your knives look awesome and inspiring. Recently I thinned a Benchmade puukko. It turned out great, but nothing like what you have going on. Keep up the great work.

Re: Liquid Cobra is making some knives..
First attempt playing with CF today. I’ve decided to call this knife the Epoch since it’s sort of my first official design.

Re: Liquid Cobra is making some knives..
I actually really liked it. It seems to be easy to work with but pretty dirty. The end product is worth the mess though.

Re: Liquid Cobra is making some knives..
For sure, it’s a favorite material of mine too. But it is very messy, as you said. Some folks prefer to wet sand on CF to help reduce the dust.Liquid Cobra wrote: ↑Sun Feb 09, 2020 8:48 pm

Re: Liquid Cobra is making some knives..
I hope everyone out there is staying safe during these crazy times. Been a little while so I thought I would share some of the stuff I’ve been working on.
Recently I finished my first stainless blade using CPM154. I decided at the time to try out making a larger version of the Epoch (that’s what I’m calling my small wharncliffe design). I’m happy with the results so I’ve got another one on the go as well as a tanto that I’ve shown below.
As always, thanks for looking.

Re: Liquid Cobra is making some knives..
Thanks so much! It definitely has a Yojimbo flavour to it, which isn’t surprising considering it’s one of my favourite Spyderco knives of all time.
Tonight after work I finished up this tanto. It didn’t quite turn out like I had envisioned but I certainly made some
Improvements in certain areas.

That tanto is gorgeous ! Is the blade acid washed ? This would look stunning as an inner pocket knife, à la Bud Nealy

Re: Liquid Cobra is making some knives..
Yup it’s an acid wash.
I’m gonna revisit making tiny knives that would fit in the pocket soon. Thanks Thom
