The Stealth Flamingo?

[cubby]

lol! can't figure a good name for this template, but i kinda like the ring to Stealth Flamingo!!! hahahhaa.

usually i make this one in a strictly utilitarian grind. full flat with some basic scales for a great little user knife. blade comes in at 4.5". this one obviously NOT that type of knife! i really like the way it came out. my first true compound grind. its chisel ground, so the other side is flat. sharp as all get out though!!! part of the reason i usually just use thin stock! it just cuts so much better!

the other is the finished angry mariner. love this model!

thanks!

The one with the orange handle screams " AWESOME "...!!!

Yeah..........no. Stealth Flamingo sounds like an underground gay bar in Miami. With pink scales, yes, you can call it that.

The front half of that blade reminds me of the blade on my Toollogic SL3 and the back half kind of like my newest favorite "working" blade. I can see it as a multipurpose knife.

Love the mariner, what is the scoop on that knife and how much?

They both look good!

Love the name. Id buy one just for the name alone.

I have been thinnking about buying a couple of this knife.
2010 CRKT Hammond A.B.C. Operator's Model 2605 - Tanto Blade


I have a couple of old Gerber river knives(made in America). They were Blackie collins deisgn, one side full length edge, the other full length serrations for rope. I use the hell out of them. Can you copy that with serrations on the spine of your Angry M?

another variation

the Angry Mariner was really my first design ever. i have told the story here, before, i'll have to find the thread. that one just sold for $85, plus shipping, in my "economy Still Stinks" pricing. i have given away about 3 times as many of those as i have sold! LOL!

Too late it already sold.

 

[releo 37]

I went to the want ads after I psoted and saw that I was a little slow on the keyboard. slimplmbr if you got it you got a nice score from Joe. I have gotten two knives from him and they became gifts to good friends but that one I would have keep for myself

So you had a need, no reliable source, pursued it, made a bunch of them and gave most away but developed your skills in doing so. Very Americana in the making in my mind.

For 3 "free" knives I would be willing to give you some "free" business consulting advice. Oh what the heck lets make it one knife since the economy sucks.

Stop giving the knives away. PM me for my mailing address.

From a marketing perspective sometimes you can start with a name and build a product to fit it. Angry Anaconda has a certain ring to it! Then you just expand your entire angry line. It may sound silly but you have already "carved" out a niche with Angry Mariner.

I actually got the top one, waitin for it now, it was a great lookin knife and the price was good, still waitin for a final decision on the name though

 

[releo 37]

LPPOsecurity. I went by cubby's the other day and got to look at your knife. It looks better than the pic. Cubby really did a great job on that one. I started talking cubby into making another one with a tad longer blade.

 

[drgnrobo]

Was really checking out the stealth flamingo when cubby offered it up ,if he offers up another might have to make the leap for it

 

[danielocean03]

Although I appreciate Cubby's work as well as the information and experience he brings to the forum through his experience as a knifemaker, this discussion is borderline skirting our advertising guidelines and unfair to our paying advertisers.

Thank you for your understanding. Please feel free to PM me with any questions.
