The first batch of 1911 knives should be coming in soon so I will try to start taking some photos of the grins mounted on a knife.

Your killing me!!! Those are awesome!!
BTW i followed suit, and used the same site that you did to start my own website.What can i say you inspired me to get off my butt and finally make one.
John

Thanks!

I really like Weebly. I started out using another hosting site and switch to Weebly in January of this year and I was been really happy with their service and ease of use.

Those were actually picked out by another customer. But I have plenty more of that wood available.

That's two-tone desert ironwood and it is very difficult to find like that. It comes with a high price too. I have all of my suppliers on the lookout for two-tone pieces like that, but they just don't come around very often.

STOP IT!!!!!! You are killing me with these pictures, beautiful grips Olympus!!!:):)

I know what you mean. That's one of those sets that I would have liked to have kept for myself for a while. They looked really good on a stainless 1911 knife too. They left a mark on me in more than one way. They took a nice piece of the tip of my thumbnail while I was making them. Luckily I jerked my hand back before the sander got to the meat.

Can do that. Just be prepared for a pretty long wait.

Is the Spalted Maple also hard to get a hold of too? Those would look good on my black finished 2010 CCO also. Beautiful!

I've got enough wood for one more set.

Man I like this thread!!! They just look fantastic!

Thanks for sharing!

noel

I agree Noel!!! Fantastic looking grips!!:):)

Man, would a set make a very nice Karma gift!!!!:D:D

I'm been rolling the idea of a set for a Karma gift for a while now. I'm trying to get my inventory built up for a gun show that I've got a table at in October, so every set counts right now. Things usually pick up pretty heavy before Christmas and they tend to slow down after the first of the year. So I will probably end up making a set for a Karma giveaway after the first of the year.

Or if the forum has any kind of charity, I'd donate a set for a raffle or something too.
