Final posting of the knife box project - PICS

[Stan Thigpen]

Great case Dennis. Is the knife Damascus steel?

[Dennis Peacock]

Way outa' my league too

I think the least expensive knife of his I've seen was around $800. His stuff is more commonly $2500 & up and I'm sure much more for this one which has integral firepower

Speaks volumes for his confidence in Dennis' work!

Brad,

I'm not sure I can "post" the selling price of this knife....but I will say at $2500 for this knife is WAY-WAY short of the real selling price. And Yes...it is sold.

Great case Dennis. Is the knife Damascus steel?

Yes it is. Ron makes all his on steel. I got to swing a 22" Bouy (spell?) knife yesterday that was just "out of this world".!!!!

[Steve Plunkett]

Truly impressive, Mr. Peacock!

Dennis, It had nothing to do with the Knife. It was the presentation case that gave it so much value.
If you posted I missed it. What were the accessories we see in the pix? Can't quite make them out.
Do you have a pix of the open blade we can see??

[Roger Fitzsimonds]

Very nice work Dennis, Thanks for shareing the process with us.

See. Told 'ya so...All that worrying for nuthin'! Like they say in the movin' picture shows: "That's a wrap!" You done good, just like I (and many others) had predicted. It's a great looking display box and after all the sweating, you have every right to be proud! OK, well at least, *we're* proud o' you! Carry on....

Two of the finest craftsmen I've seen.

Dennis; your skills & abilities are only surpassed by your patience & eye for detail.

You should be proud.

[Dennis Peacock]

Mark,

Thanks for the kind words. They are appreciated. Ron has said that he will help me develop the skills and get the tools I need to produce what he needs in custom knife boxes. It just means that I will have to get another piece of equipement to do what needs to be done (Pantograph).

Tyler,

The accessories are three little "tubes" with black rubber caps.

1. Holds the .177 cal pellets for the gun.
2. Holds the black powder for the gun.
3. Holds the copper "caps" for firing the gun.
4. Is the cleaning rod for the gun and its barrel.

[Chris Padilla]

Dennis,

Gun?? What gun? I thought this was a knife???

[Jim Ketron]

Great job Dennis!

Do you have any pics of the wooden hinges and how you made them? It sucks that you didn't get to use them

[Scott Coffelt]

WOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

Now explaining that one to the police. Sir are you carrying a weapon, ummm officer why yes I am, can you guess what? Sire is that a knife? Officer, well maybe. Sir, is it a knife? Officer, it is but... But what? it's also a gun..... Freeze Mister.....

My luck I'd try to open the knife to cut rope and shoot myself in the foot.

Price... probably talking in the eurosaw range, hey that's a way to tell us. Say the tool and we'll figure the price.

Now Dennis, too bad he wouldn't let you bring that knife to the BBQ next week. I'd trade some wood for it .

[Dennis Peacock]

Great job Dennis!

Jim

Jim,

The wooden hinges are in a post, like Day 5 of the knife box project. Should be on page 3 or 4 of the ww forum by now. I'll be posting details on how to make them later on.

[Dennis Peacock]

Dennis,

Gun?? What gun? I thought this was a knife???

Chris,

One half the knife is a switchblade knife. The other half of the "knife" is actually a blackpower .177 caliber pistol and can be converted to a 22 caliber pistol just by changing out the barrel. It is now a black power gun so it can be legally transported.

[John Shuk]

Very nice work Dennis.
Any chance of getting one or both of those "Bladesmiths" to make some custom marking knives? Might be something I'm interested in.
