Sorry to everyone!
For my work I’ve to serve all world and currently I’m deployed in Africa for quite some time. I will be back on my lab, hopefully for the next mid-June. I just want to say to all people reading here that if you want to write to me for any kind of project, or if you ask for some quotes, or if you want only to say “Hello Man!” by email I will reply as soon as possible. All mailing will be read and of course, it is a pleasure to read also some funny emails while out from home, so feel free to write anything you want to me.

Regards,

Stefano

Dario Friction Folder

Stefano — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 19:20:37 +0000

Here a tough and compact companion, for my friend Dario from USA. A custom, one piece as usual, made for work and more. Hope it will serve him with love and passion as I made it.

Made in 4mm (.157″) D2 tool steel, hot blued. About 7,2mm (2,56″) sharp as hell. Orange sculpted handles, nylatron washers, hot blued stainless hardware. All handmade as the black denim sheat.

Thanks Dario, hope you will use it alot!

Lume Friction Folder

Stefano — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 19:12:43 +0000

This is a friction folder that my friend Lume asked to me.
Something looking like a Santoku shape but sturdy and about 9cm (3,6″) in D2 tool steel. Thick enough 4mm (.157″) about to make any tasks.

With handmade denim sheat.

Hope you will like it.

Sometimes happens in the workshop…

Ouch! It snapped! While trying to raise my perfection in flattening, only few thumps with the hammer.

And it was a real beauty of blade… made by one of my favourite carbon steels 52100.

Fortunally it was the chance to check the hardening and the grain: I was astonished, the grain was really not visible, almost like glass. So it promise well…

Yeeeee!
The friction folders blades are cooked! And blackened. Ready for use, abuse and even the worst fight!

Work In Progress – Two New Friction Folders Update #4

Stefano — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 07:23:39 +0000

I think this will be the latest update before releasing these two stunning Friction Folders.

These is before going into the oven, a perfectly satin blade.

Here the pice has gone bad but it still remains a great D2 blade

It’s quite time consuming to give this kind of finish but always rewarding. Always!
Yes guys, next step is to put these baldes into the oven for heat treat.

Cheers!

I was something slowed down by many business things, and now I’m trying to regain some more time. I’m a little late on some projects but they shuold go ahead. Show must go on and very quickly!
Here there are the new neckers coming. Small precious and very sharp thingies. And some full size blade with a leaf shaped blade and three finger grip. More compact and stiil powerful.

Work In Progress – Mil Utilities Update #2

Stefano — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 07:33:23 +0000

These are some Mil Utilities that I’m making for an Army friend that soon will be redeployed in Afghanistan. hope they will help him a bit. And he is asking for more and other specs.

Knives are made in tough CPM S30V stainless steel and for sure they will sports synthetics handles. Yet to decide…

Cheers

Work In Progress – Some New Neckers Update #2

Stefano — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 07:27:18 +0000

Small and compact companions. About 2″ blade enough to do any small cutting task or to be used as backup. I think that the choice of the resilient 52100 carbon steel is right. Plus a leather or kydex sheat or something like horn or bone handles what do you think about them?

Different grinds, different flavours.
