OK @kiwijames I will leave it to you in my will. Wako gave it to me (Virtuovice).
Yes, thats an Ext 1. They are excellent. Used it on a bull Tahr the other day including taking the jaw out and it was still pretty damned sharp. Great handle.

Latest knife finished for my lovely wife in time for a Christmas present, general kitchen blade, dyed and stabilized French Oak. Very light and balanced.
Loving the Christmas break, drinking beer, shooting rabbits and getting Knives completed.
Latest off Medusa Knives work bench.
Taipan model hunter, Russian Ash stabilized handle, 14c28n full grind and full tang.

Very nice grind and shape. Is the ash stablized in the US?
Hi Mate, no out of Mother Russia. It's cross cut which I heard can be a little tricky but this was beautifully stabilized , very dense and stable.
The shape is 100% Bark River inspired. Got a Bob Dozier inspired hunter / skinner next, Snake skin Micarta handles and other little custom features .
You found a Unique yet ?
You have a good eye for details, I in particular liked the one you just recently sold.
What kind of linisher do you use?
a Linisher, mate I will one day , nope I am using this off Trade me, 1 inch / 25 mm belt , gets so hot after 30 mins grinding I can't touch the housing so turn it off and walk away.
I was literally using a hand file before this. Figured if you are going to do this and aspire to be good at it you start at dirt level and grind ( no pun indented ) your way way up to understand the process.
By the way I am a new maker and have years ahead to become a better knife maker , these last tAttachment 126823wo knives are the 6th and 7th knives I've ever made .
By the way a big shout out to Forum members who have added a lot of positive encouragement both verbally and those who have stepped up and ordered a blade , thank you it's helped at these early stages of the journey, more coming. Merry Christmas from Viper / Medusa knives :thumbsup:
A couple of kitchen knives I’m working on, away from the shed so can’t finish but I can get an edge on them, then tidy up in the new year...01 with zebra wood and Cooktown Ironwood handles.
Merry Xmas all!

New Knife off the bench, Copperhead Model based on a Bob Dozier Pro Hunter.
Will put it in the for sale section if anyone is interested with more detail on the knife.Attachment 127011
I bought some Benfhmade 535 Bug Out Ti scales from Rockslide Designs some time ago but the original body screws were a tad too short. Ordered some Ti screw from Ali Express in blue which finally arrived today. They look pretty good I thought.

I also got a Ti back spacer for my Paramilitary 2 Spyderco. It looks OK and was very well made tolerance wise so I'll keep it in for now. It doesn't appear to affect the balance.

Here's one for the kitchen from the late Bruce Merchant (Australia). I haven't used it yet. Micarta scales, hand engraved makers name. Stainless bolsters. Close to perfection.

A big thank you to
gonetropo
who donated some beautiful wooden knife scales to me:)
I used the South American Mahogany on this hunting/ kitchen knife and I think it turned out alright.
The carbon steel blade is an American made 'True Edge' Ontario knife blade and just needed some slight changes to the tang for a better grip and an extra brass rivet for strength.
Thank you very much gonetropo, for the next knife I will use some of the teak you gave me and it will be a butchers knife.

And here is the rather large butcher's knife made from

donated Teak wood :) and a black Micarta liner inserted.
Thank you gonetropo
very much appreciated :)

I got this Ruike . Under 70$, really impressed by the quality. The blade is well centered and quite rigid once opened . The pivoting axis is on ceramic ball bearings .
I just need to take it hunting and see how well it holds an edge when cutting a deer.
Attachment 128067
The Ruike knives have a good reputation, good S/S blade 14C28N, easy to sharpen and the price is excellent!
I've got one. Like the sweep on the blade and smooth bearing.
I think Its 12C27
14C28N it is. Pretty rare at this price point
Just finished for an order, gut hook Taipan, stabilized curly maple from France, 14c28N .

Sorry, original photo big , I now have a makers mark also :thumbsup:
love the makers mark......Gelandagan over on huntingnut makes/sells the wee machines to do them...he makes knives too.
you have come a long way Viper. lovely work.
Yes he does...however all you need is a car battery charger, salt water and a vinyl stencil , you can etch as deep as you want and it's sharp and concise.Quote:

The makers mark with the two snakes and the eye are a a nod to Medusa. Thanks for the comments, really appreciated.
hmmmm Medusa and only two heads.....she must have been around young Greta as of late LOL.
Nice design and logo.
I really like your new logo.
Who makes the vinyl stencils, or do you make them yourselves?
Excellent work!
@diana2 , I'm a sign writer so graphic art / design is part of my trade and of course cutting vinyl lettering and stencils is just part of my day.Quote:

Very cool, love it!
