    Hybrid fighter in 3V

    Hey guys, I just finished up this Hybrid fighter and thought some of you may like to see it. It is a combination of some fighters I have built in the past with the tantos I have been building recently. It has deep fullers on the sides and my signature tapered fuller on the spine. The blade is...

    Week 7 Photo contest Post your entries here--- Cell Phone pictures

    I'll play. Here is one I snapped with my Iphone 5, in my light tent. I didn't do any post editing like I normally do. This is pretty typical of what I post on most social media sites and IG. Not as sharp as a with a camera, but it gets the point across and allows me to share my work and WIP's on...

    Pointy 3v Inazuma Tantos

    Hey guys just finished up these two pointy 3V Tantos. Both have hand rubbed finishes, copper spacers, Ti Guards and Menukis. I did the fullers a little different on the first one, I think it came out pretty cool. Both have my signature tapered fullers on the spine. These are flat ground and are...

    Week 6 Photo Contest CLOSED for entries - STAGING a Photo

    Here is a pic I took a John Barker Hokkaido. I used the Titanium background, machine screws and micrometer to convey elements in the knife and the precision involved. I had to use different reflectors to highlight all of the different facets of the blade. I was pretty pleased with the results.

    ---=== CPM 3V Toge Kwaiken {Black and Red} ===---

    Just finished and up for grabs is one of my Toge Kwaikens. This one is a beefy little hand full of 3V. I gave it a nice dark acid washed finish. I wanted to do something a little different with the handle, so I gave a red hemp under wrap, a hammered copper menuki (hand made, not store bought)...

    WTB or trade for Canon 60mm Macro lens

    Just like the title says, looking for a Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro for knife photos. I can get a brand new one for $420, but looking for a used one at a good deal. Can possibly trade a knife....

    A couple 3V kwaikens

    Just finished up these mean little guys and figured I would share some pics. I decided to call this model the "Toge" Kwaiken, Toge is Japanese for thorn. Seemed to be fitting. :cool: They both are CPM 3V with a dark acid wash finish and are 8 3/4" OAL.

    Week 3 Photo contest -CLOSED for entries

    Pic I took of my DR. T slippy. Canon Eos Rebel T3 Camera. I know some people don't but, but I like using props in my knife photos. I think it can really tell a story, which really helps when trying to sell a knife, or anything for that matter.

    Aikuchi Tanto

    Yes, I use different lace for the wrap. The wrap on the handle is a flat shoe type lace, and the Turks head knot is paracord with the guts in it still. The wrap is tied very tight, I then soak the whole thing in G/flex epoxy. It is rock solid, but still looks natural.

    Aikuchi Tanto

    Just finished this one up. it is a bit different being that the grind goes through the grip. The blade is just shy of 10" with a 5.25" handle. The blade is more hand rubbed 3v at around .280" thick. Oddly enough, I have never done a turks head knot, this was my first try. The Menuki are hammered...

    3V Anakuma Waki {Zirc Habaki}

    Just finished up this order for a good customer of mine. It was a challenging build, but I am pretty pleased with it. This one I made a 1 piece Zirc Habaki. That was probably the trickiest part of the whole build. Not sure I would do it again, but it was something I wanted to do because I have...

    3V wakizashi

    I just finished up this slightly different version of the A2 waki I shared a Wip on a while back. This one has a hand rubbed (lots of fun!!) 14" 3V blade, and has a 21.25" oal. I suppose with the 14" blade it could considered a Ko Wakizashi. The seppa and menuki are hammered copper and the tsuba...

    Armor piercing 3V Tanto {Build Along}

    Thanks guys! I had fun with it, and have a feeling there are a lot more of this style in my future. It is a press fit guard, I also epoxy it in place before the wrap goes behind. It is quite solid. This one bit me on the other hand while taking the pics. Back of the point laid my knuckle...
