    Custom Delica by Roman "MyKnife"

    Some pics of my new Delica by Roman, his are the first six pics, they have a hand-like symbol in one corner. I'm using them with his permission:













    Excellent craftsmanship, no gaps between the Ti liners and the spring or the spacer.



    This and my Endura, also by Roman, make a very nice pair, even if the color of the wood is very different between the two knives, the scales of both knives are cocobolo. The scales are much more voluminous than production models and fill my hand nicely.

    Well done, Roman!





    Btw, this is my first post using a pic-hoster, so the image size may still be too big, although I reduced it on my own pics to 800 x 600 in 4:3. Any hints will certainly be appreciated!

    Beautiful. I'm always impressed by guys who can do such quality work. I'm sure it seems like second nature to them to take a knife and make a work of art out of it, but I wouldn't know where to begin.

    First, you start with a block of wood and then cut away everything that doesn't look like a knife scale!

    Beautiful work Roman - thanks for the pics, Skatenut!

    That's very nice. It's refreshing to see rounded/contoured handles on a folder.

    Very nice, and I really like the contrast with the satin clip.

    They look great! Pic size is perfect. I never realized he did such nice contouring on those. Hard to tell from other pics. Really nice work, and they look comfy in the hand. Thanks for sharing, and nice stuff, Roman.

    - best wishes, Jazz.

    I've always liked the metal liners/spacer. I think it increases the aesthetics a great deal.
