Was in for a real treat today.

As some of you are aware from Cap's thread http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/80608-jon-graham-gmt-ss3-razel/ a lot of people are pimping their Jon Graham Razel midtechs.  Well, today was the day I got mine pimped out.  I am fortunate enough to have a friend who is friends with Jon, so I got to go up to Graham's shop and watch him pimp-out my Razel exactly how I wanted it.  He is a really great guy with some amazing skills.

 

He anodized the scales green, stonewashed them, and then came back with a bronze anodizing.  He also bronzed the clip, standoffs, and screws.  He then acid washed the blade, stonewashed it, and put a razor sharp edge on it.  I have already cut the crap out of myself with it.

 

Here are the results.

 

 

 

 

 

I think it turned out pretty awesome.  This is the first, but not the last Graham knife in my collection.

That is bad-ass Mav. I NEED one!

What, no pics of the cut? :D

Nice knife. Pardon my ignorance, what's the purpose of a tip like that (or lack thereof)?

Oh, I find blade style very utilitarian.  From a tactical perspective, it is crazy sharp, so you can easily stab with it.  You can easily cut someone with a backhand swing without rotating the knife or your hand.

Very Cool Mav!

nice knife, love it...I don't understand the clip, though how does that work?

He did some really nice work. I like the anodizing and stone washing. :up:

Pretty neat idea. Good point about the clip fouling your grip too.

Looks great Mav.  Who did you go to Jon's shop with (if you don't mind me asking)?
