THE FLAMEOUT

BY COLORFUL FILTH

One of my favorite types of projects to work on are those that let be be as creative as possible. Along with my good friends and expert knife makers at Northern Knives, I have been able to turn my wild art ideas into tangible, functional pieces of art!

NORTHERN KNIVES COLLABORATION:

THE FLAMEOUT

The Flameout Bailout is my latest collaboration with Northern Knives, and I’m extremely happy to show you what we’ve come up with! What better way to honor the namesake of the Bailout than with two cinematic, action packed frames from a helicopter battle in the sky?

The show-side scale features a paratrooper diving from a damaged helicopter at just the right time, while the clip side features an explosive skyscape (and a special guest) during a firefight of epic proportions. Both sides of the blade feature a field of debris laser engraved with extreme precision, making what looks like a seamless flow of chaos from tip to clip.

As always, it is an honor to be able to work on such exciting passion projects in this community, and I sincerely appreciate every single one of you who is taking the time to explore our latest collaboration. Even if you don’t add one to your own collection, your continued support and interest is what keeps us going. We wouldn’t trade it for anything!
