I've been busy with work so knife making has been slow with little progress but here are a few I've managed to complete the last few weeks.
This one is a larger version of a pattern I've made many times. The original pattern was around 9" long and the customer wanted it a bit longer so I re-drew it and this is how it turned out. It’s amazing how stretching a pattern an inch requires a total re-draw to keep the lines and proportions of the original. 3/16" ATS 34 Heat and cryo treat Nickel/ilver harware green/black G10 [ 
This is another "re-draw." The original version of this one is double edge and 12" long. This is a smaller more compact version that has single edge and 9 1/4" long. I’m going to make a few of these. 3/16" ATS 34 Heat and cryo treat Nickel/Silver hardware OD Green Canvas Micarta 
This one is a 12" OAL double edge "fish" looking contraption. Everyone says it looks “funny” but so far it is one of my favorites. It balances well and just feels good in the hand. The thought behind this one was more of a "camp" knife than a "tactical." I figured with the double edge I could use the top edge for chopping chores around camp and still keep the primary razor sharp for cutting and dressing chores. (I've killed two hogs with this knife.) 3/16" O1 Nickel/Silver hardware Canvas Micarta

| Looking at these again I have to say the quality of the blade geometry is impeccable, having made some blades by hammer and hand myself you sir are talented, in a perfect combination for myself, it would be, the blade geometry of #1 with the handle material of #2 and the blade material of #3.keep us posted on your work or potential sale of them. |

Thanks for all the comments! I appreciate it!
I make knives as a hobby. I do sell them in order to be able to afford to continue making them. All the knives shown above are sold but I intend on making more. Shoot me an IM if you are interested in somenting particular. I don't want to break any rules here regarding buying/selling. My intention of these posts is simply to show off the knives I make. Thanks! Chad |
