The Fizz Treatment

This was something I came up with after a good friend/customer asked me to add some half moon shaped holes on the front handle slab under the spot where his fingertips would rest when gripping the knife.I didnt want to drill holes in the handle slab mainly because lots of other makers were already doing this and I was trying to come up with my own style.So I drilled divets in the handle slab in a half moon shape.This worked ok and added some grip to the smooth Ti but just didnt look that great in my opinion.I started adding freehand designs to the half moon shapes and The Fizz evolved to what it is today.I have done lots of different freehand designs to date and even some requested designs like bear paw prints and a dragon I did on one folder.Check out some picks below of The Fizz on some of my folders.The Fizz and heat coloring is a no cost option on all my current folders.
