Custom Lava by STR--Black and Tan G-10

[KaliGman]

I rarely post photographs, due in part to the fact that, as a photographer, I make a great martial artist ;) . In any case, after I got this one back from STR, I knew I had to post up a couple of photographs for the Lava fans out there. Please believe me when I tell you that STR's work on this one is exquisite and that the photos do not do the knife justice.

Anyway, to start off:

The customized Lava, with black and tan G-10 scales and an STR lowrider clip in titanium, anodized in a khaki/bronze, with one of my standard Lavas for comparison.

A photograph of the customized Lava by itself and then one with one of my Surefire flashlights.

Hi KaliGMan, i hope you don't mind me sharing some pix of my Lava in your thread :)
This micarta Lava (and the Navigator2) is the first time I gotten/used one of STR's lowrider Ti clips....I must say they're pretty sweet.....I'm even clipping my "Featherlight Lava" in my slacks frontpocket at work....real incognito-like ;) :D
some pix with the CF zdp189 Caly3, Hyper, zdp189 CalypsoJr, SubcomF :)

Post away my friend. Although I must say your skill with the camera makes my photographs look even "more badder" as an old knuckle dragging SWAT buddy used to say ;) .

[jaislandboy]

thanks for the kind works KaliGman.... I aspire to take photos like Simona or Peter1960 some day....first thing I've got to do is upgrade to a real camera and get a tripod....i'm still using my "old" Canon Optura 20 camcorder :eek: :o
Might as well post some more photos while I'm at it ;)

Dear Lord have I missed so much while I was gone???

Will write more later when wits are about me again...

edit: Ok, jaw successfully relocated.

I REALLY want one of these, or rather, one of each of these, 'cause that's just HOT!!!

It's been too long since seeing Lava porn of this magnitude!!!

KaliGman and Jaislandboy they look great.
This would be something for me. I don't like SS handles. Maybe Jurgen Schanz or Andy Haas could do something like that overhere in Europe. Hmmm i have to think about that.:p

What's this about an Edit? Necker?....I don't have any info on this one....I feel like I'm in the dark....Chad quick send me an e-mail....LOL, I hate when you withhold info from me...LOL....Not suprised that people like and buy the Lava...what is there not to like!!!!....I'll tell you what... I can't keep enough stock on those Subcoms...they fly out of my case faster than I can say Chad Los Banos, with customers screaming at me to get in the latest Chad Los Banos design on a weekly basis....the fact is I'm selling more Subcoms than any other knife in the case...I had a customer who came in last week told me someone had stole his Tan Subcom when I placed it on a table and walked away at work...so he bought two more he loved the knife so much.....Doc

[jaislandboy]

hey DocSnubnose, I figure you've seen these by now but this thread on BF's got some good pix:
