How did you create the tracks?

A good looking, and most important, usable knife.

Very nice looking knife. Is that the forge finish? Or a forced patina?

Nice Rob, looks like a real workhorse with a little bling.
I was going to guess micro grinder Ray, but they are awful precise and even. I did grind/shape a soldering iron tip for wood and a stainless steel stamp for leather, but nothing that would work that clean on synthetic bone. Come on Rob, fess up! Since I have looked at a lot of Rob's other work, Ricky, I'd say forged finish for the most part. He's pretty fair with a hammer. As thin as that stock is along the spine, most likely just worked with a flatter/finishing hammer and used precise controlled hits. Either way it finished nicely. __________________ Carl Rechsteiner, Bladesmith Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild, Charter Member Knifemakers Guild, voting member Registered Master Artist - GA Council for the Arts C Rex Custom Knives Blade Show Table 6-H |

I would like to know about the tracks also. Surely its not a rubber stamp and ink pad.

I like it!
__________________ C Craft Customs With every custom knife I build I try to accomplish three things. I want that knife to look so good you just have to pick it up, feel so good in your hand you can't wait to try it, and once you use it, you never want to put it down ! If I capture those three factors in each knife I build, I am assured the knife will become a piece that is used and treasured by its owner! C Craft |

Yeah thats a nice one, the tracks do add to the overall look.
MY guess, i think the tracks were were cut out, filled with epoxy and sanded flush. Does the winner of the "how did he do that" trivia game get a prize? |
