    Recent batch of slicers and dicers

    Been working on finishing up some kitchen knives to bring to the upcoming NWKC show on OCT 4th and 5th, and I figured I would share what I have so far. All of the blades are 13c26 in this batch. The first two both have some really nice Ringed Gidgee scales and are full tang D handles. Sorry the...

    Thanks John! Yes, and it is now spoken for. : ) I am holding on to it, to bring to the NWKC show in Kelso on Oct 4th and 5th though. I probably could have. This is just an interpretation of style. Thanks for the kind words.

    A2 Wakizashi Build along

    Thanks Justin. Ok Everyone, here are the final pics. Although not the most exotic or fancy blade I have done. This overall package is by far my most favorite I made since I started making knives a few years ago. I stepped outside my box on several new things with it, and learned quite a bit...

    A2 Wakizashi Build along

    Ok guys I spent all day working on the sheath, and I just wrapped it up. I know some people would prefer a more traditional saya, and some people like leather, and others kydex. So I made a combo of all 3! : ) I decided to incorporate a traditional style Kurigata as the belt hanging feature...

    A2 Wakizashi Build along

    Hey guys! In theme with some of the fullered fixed blades I have been making lately, I thought it would be fun to try something a bit...larger. ;) I figured I would snap some pics along the way to share with those who are interested. I decided to go with a 15" blade wakizashi. Oal will be just...

    Mean little fighter

    Just finished up this custom version of my BDU Scout. It has a sharpened top edge, thumb grooves and an enlarged choil for a forward grip. Hopefully the customer likes it as much as I do. :cool: OAL is just over 10" with a 5" blade.

    Some hard use knives (Fixed blades with fullers)

    Never really liked the term "tactical knife". So here are some hard use knives I finished up this last week. All of them have A2 tool steel and fullers in the blade. They are flat ground on both sides. They have Black Tero tuf, G10, and carbon fiber scales in that order. I really like this...

    Sick of Desert Ironwood yet?

    Not me! I just finished up one of my Scout Hunters. I made this one from CPM-154 and some fantastic Desert Ironwood. It has a nice distal taper and is flat ground to a fine edge. The tang is tapered for very nice balance. It has a dark acid washed finish and a polished spine for a nice...

    Two new Peregrine hawks

    Hey Guys! I just finished up two of my Peregrine tomahawks and figured I would share them. These are a little different than my normal "Tactical" ones, as they have wrapped handles instead of textured scales. They have a variety of wrap, including Hemp, Jute, bamboo and a brown Ito wrap. The...
