The scabbard is not lined. I wipe down the knife well before putting it back into the scabbard. I have been using the knife quite a bit over the past week. This profile seems to really like cutting meat. It does well with the veggies too.

Very clean work. I like them all.

I always liked your bug knives. But the steam punk style....... I really really like. Very nice work.

This is my very first knife made by an ABS Master Smith. The knife was made for me by Aaron Wilburn who became a Master Smith this year. Here are some quick photos. The knife looks way better in person. Tonight I will be cutting everything I can get my hands on with this. The...

I like it. And, like Dozier, I like copper. Looks great now but I really like copper as it ages and develops a patina. Nice steel too!

Great looking knife! I own 2 knives by Claudio and love them both.

Very Cool Knife Erin!

I like it.

I hope I did not come across as complaining. That was not my intention. I am cool with whatever the rules are.

My impression is that the piece was too large to be home made. Looks like layers of wood on rough edges but the cut surfaces look like maybe some fabric layers as well. Here is an angle photo.

First of all, I am not a fan of man made handle materials. This piece of ??? came from the estate of Knife Maker Tedd Dowell. I don't know if this is something worth cutting up or if it is junk. I am leaning toward #2. But I figured I had better check before I toss it. It is hard and...

Same with me. I use random.org to select the winning post number for the photo contest. Do you have any suggestions..... or do I cancel the drawing?

Beautiful Knives Deane. Very nice work by both of you.

The way K&G does it is; Using a solvent based dye they go into a dye vat. I usually allow a couple sacrifical pieces so they can cut them in half to check penetration. Then they dry the dyed blocks. Last they stabilize the blocks. A couple of the other wood stabilizers mix the dye with the...

Beautiful Knife Lee!

Great looking knife Karl. I like the combo of the bog oak with the laminated steel.

I may dye some of these. Depends what they look like when they are dry. The amber and brown areas tend to resist the dye giving an unusual look.

Eventually some of you will come across a burl and want to try your hand at turning it into handle material. This is a quick and easy way that I cut up a spalted Maple burl. The same process can work with most types of burl. The burl cap shown in the 1st photo was cut from an old dead log...

Here are a few photos from when I snuck away from my tables.

When it comes to dyed wood, my favorite color is blue. These two knives came from Claudio Sobral in Argentina. I got the small hunter a couple years ago, and the big fighter last month.
