First custom stiletto

Post by Joanne »

For a few years now I'd been interested in stilettos and back in February I was given the opportunity to contact Jeremy Kreis about commissioning a custom stiletto. For the first one I figured I'd just go all out and have fun with the details and honestly Jeremy couldn't have done a more perfect job. It's a 12 inch flatguard picklock with a 5mm blade and backspring. Jeremy made me these incredible scales from snakewood with warthog and whale ivory inlays. The ruby button really adds a pop of color and the ns liners, pins, and bolsters really are the nice final touch for me.

It looks like a lot of fine craftsmanship went into the making of that knife. Thanks for sharing and welcome to TB.
