This thread just KEEPS getting better! Guns, axes, now PIRATE HISTORY!!! :)

Free-form designing is the way to go! Fantastic knife!!!

I certainly see where you are coming from on the hot spots. I have another pair of links to try with some thicker material and I will countersink them so that there is much less "protrusion". Hopefully it shouldn't be any worse on the hand than the clip of a pocketknife. I suppose...

Something a little different this time around, and I think I may have found a new "standard" handle type for my knives. :) 1084, flat chisel grind with convex tip. hand finished to 800 on the flats, 45x Norax on the grinds 3-15/16" blade 8-1/2" overal 1/4" glass breaker handle is 1/8"...

Looks fantastic! I love the color combination of the handle. And excellent choice of background for the pics.

In all honesty, I use my pocket knives for opening letters, cutting cord and opening boxes. Not much else. If I am going camping, I always have my folder in pocket, a 4" or 6" fixed blade and my small hatchet for all the regular camp chores. Among all my friends, I'm also the one that...

I've had good, consistent and rich black coloring from the USMC Deep Black plus the Super Sheen topcoat, both from Tandy. But I like the blue idea also. I only mentioned translucent to imply that any imperfections or variations in the natural leather surface would show-through the dye color.

I have not mastered a consistent translucent dyeing process for myself yet. That's why I mostly deal with black dyes or antique gel colors. :) I've read that wetting the surface can aid in absorption and even coloring.

this!!!!!!!

I'd say they cost about half-as-much as an ostritch... Minimum Order Quantity of 2. :)

Great looking knives and gorgeous grinds!!! Is one of those a lefty?? One of these days I'm going to figure out to do that grind out on the tip... Looks awesome John

Well that's interesting... And if ever-there-was a case for dinosaurs evolving into birds, there it is. lol

I think what he was implying, was that he on a previous knife, he sharpened it before the handlework, or sheath or something else was not finished. Ended up cutting himself while finishing the knife, so now saves sharpening for the VERY last step. I do the same process. Really good looking...

Thanks! and no kilt for me... YET.

Thank you George. I am very very happy with the way this knife turned out.

Just finished up today. 1084 Flat ground Brass and imistag handle 3-11/16" blade 8"OAL Sheath is hand stitched with a stud and Celtic concho. I wanted to keep it simple and skip too much tooling. Intended to be worn with a kilt and stockings, on the outside of your right calf.

Beautiful steel and knife. Personally not a huge fan of skeletonized blades, but I fully understand their function on a lightweight neck knife. Still a great blade to me. the leather work also is fantastic! Seems rugged and solid while also being clean and simple.

Personally... of the inventory I see on your website, my go-to would be the ZT-Hinderer 0561. Love some ZT and LOVE some Hinderer blades!!!

I really like the dramatic curve toward the tip of the blade. Makes a great point that not every knife is built to stab stuff.
