Wanna see my Knife Work?? Draven Industries is here....

[Eric Draven]

Hi Everyone. I have already intro'ed myself but I thought I might do it here too. This seems like a wonderful place full of great guyz and galz. Glad to be here. I thought I might show you all some of the knives I make. Not selling anything, just showing.

If anyone has any type of questions,feel free to ask.

Enjoy.



I'll start with my most famous knife to date....the KD4K....Its 6" OAL and its made of CPM-3V or S30V.



Next is the KD4F which has a smaller sized Ring for smaller hands and such.




Heres a lil one-off fist spike I did just recently....it was sold over at AZCK.





Heres a neat lil Scalpel I made awhile back...only a few of these were made.....thats it.



My first true fixed blade....I was proud.






And another fixed blade by me....2nd one I ever did.



A one-off filet/fishing knife I made for my dads best friend.






My 3rd 'Straight Razor balisong' EVER...and the 2 above are the 1st two Razor Balis Protos ever made by me. The design has since changed slightly,but its still B.A.








Some various BlackJax in Kangaroo Leather and the 'BoneBreaker' Kali stix we make here at D.I.



9oz. and 14oz. Jax with 550 paracord plaiting.....bottom one is the 9oz. one.
Cool huh??

Well anyways...thats it for now...I can post more of my work if you want me to. Just ask.
Hope everyone liked what they saw got enjoyment out of my thread.
Thanx for looking.

Yep. Two questions.

Haven't I seen your stuff on BladeForums?
If so, cool stuff. While I'm a huge fan of classic looking knives, your stuff (while modern and more tactical) shows a great deal of talent (beyond your years) in your style of knives.

Question two:
Is your name really Eric Draven?
As a huge fan of The Crow, and being from Detroit (where The Crow was set), that has to be the one of coolest name ever.

The little "spike" knife is kinda cool (pics #8 -11). Something like that in a drop point, ground on both sides might pique my interest as a necker.

Thanks for posting the pics and welcome to THR!

Hi Eric! What took you so long to find THR?

 

[Piedmont Plinker]

Cool! I like the coshes the most!

Eric Draven

Nice work; I especially liked the two ringed spike.

 

[JShirley]

Interesting stuff, and definitely lots of style.

I'd love to hear more about the Kali sticks.

Let me guess, you sell mostly to choir boys and little old ladies at quilting bees...yikes...

If you ever need some quick rent money, pack a bag of your wares and go find a Harley shop.

Edit. I like your stuff.

 

[Don Gwinn]

Needs moar skulls.

 

[Dionysusigma]

Definately digging the bali-song razors.

Unusual to see so many single-edges, though.

 

[PTK]

Looks like you're the person to ask about getting some custom spikes made.

 

[GunTech]

Steel? Heat treat? Rc?

Yeah, keep those knives away from this thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=363954

But seriously, I like the shape of that first fixed blade. Nice work!

 

[Jason_G]

Nice work. Not particularly my style, but I can still appreciate the work and craftsmanship that you put into your products. I do kind of like that fillet knife though.

Keep it up.

[theotherwaldo]

I like the p-38 on your second fixed-blade. Nice touch!

 

[wolf13]

Nice looking knives. Really like the balisongs.

Hello Bro



I have known Eric for years

He is a great guy and while a bit wild as a person his quality of work is top drawer.

 

[gripper]

Great stuff!! You an FMA guy???
BTW-you gotta post links for doing business with us all- I know you ain't selling but I am seriously liking the work...Availabilityand pricing???

 

[Don Gwinn]

I was kidding about the skulls.

In my opinion you have found a happy skull medium. Those aren't my style, but they're pretty neat.

If they were music, I'd call them "industrial." I like industrial. I like several that you've posted; the scalpel's terrific. You've even used great lettering: the word, "PROTOTYPE," where I can see it, reeks of bleeding-edge, fast-forward style.

How do they feel in the hand, and what Kanji is that on the skull in your logo?

Welcome to The High Road, Eric. Excellent second post.

 

[TimboKhan]

Not my style, but they are pretty metal, both literally and metaphorically. \m/

 

[Smith]

Those are some awesome looking knives

 

[loandr.]

NOT a skull or para kind of guy when it comes to impact goodies, BUT some very "Outside of the Box" thinking there Mr. Draven....I'm a big straight razor fan, nice to see one

[gripper]

Loved the Persian Balisong...any plans for a fixed Persian???Maybe a Pesh-Kabz for the poor side of town???

 

[alwilliam]

I like your "modern" update to my old soe spike
