Latest Custom Spyderco.
Hello all. I have been off the air for awhile. Staying busy in the shop. I wanted to post a picture or two of my latest knife. Spyderco Endura, with Silver overlay, and Southwest scene. Hand engraved in a western bright cut style. The pocket clip has a turqouise stone set on it. I would like to hear feed back, good or bad.

The engraving...lovely! :) The turquoise stone? I think the clip would look better w/out, IMO.cavemans shop wrote:Hello all. I have been off the air for awhile. Staying busy in the shop.

Thanks. Where would I get Vigor Black Out? Also, what kind of paint would you use, and how permanent are these two things? I ask because I carve pendants and some are metal. They just don't look complete without black backgrounds. Thank you extremely much for your advice!
And... after looking at the pictures again, the clip totally goes with the knife's engraving. Very nice. It grows on you.
- best wishes, Jazz.

cavemans shop, very nice work.
It's better to have knife and not need it than to need a knife and not have it.

You can get the black ground from any jewelry supply house. I use Indian Jewelers. There are several thigs a guy can use. If your engraving Sterling, liver of sulfer works well. The rust o leum flat black paint is used by lots of guys. It stays on good. I have it on a knife I have carried for over a year, its still black. Rio Grande is a good source for patinas. I hope that helps, a really great resource is, http://www.igraver.com lots of great info there.
Ouch, thanks for the comments, .

Ay Mike....I love the clip with the stone, classy idea!...The engraving, though well executed just doesn't do it for me...I thinks it's a little too busy with images...I think the knife would have looked a whole lot better with just the cobra engraved on it....Doc :D
