Here it is, a simple cross draw style, which is also a new design for me. It ain't fancy, but it is certainly functional.

Thanks gents. This is the first one I've done where the pics really don't do the knife justice. Now for a complimentary sheath. It's always the "complimentary" part of that equation that defies me, lol......

Here is my latest, and a first attempt at the forced aging process. I think it came out pretty well and look forward to your thoughts and opinions. Thanks for looking. 1084 differentially hardened blade 1075 guard/spacer/tang nut Red brass accent spacer 8 7/8 OAL with 3 5/8 actual sharpened...

I hate it when my fingers become impromptu push sticks.

Very nice. Apple wood is one of my favorite woods.

I do not have that issue. I would like to, but my wife said no, lol.

That is a very beautiful knife. You are right about that Walnut, it really pops!

Thank you gents for the kind words. I enjoyed making this one and am looking forward to taking what I learned on this one and applying to the next. I had a bit of an epiphany several weeks back, one of those Duh moments that has enabled me to have better control over the fit and finish. So much...

Just finished this one up today. 1084 differentially hardened 8 7/8 OAL with 3 5/8 sharpened edge nickle silver fittings Purple G-10 spacers Spalted Maple Burl obtained from HHH knives

It's a great looking knife, I especially like the bolster work. Nice one!

That is a beautifully patterned blade.

Those look like a very handy little all around general purpose knife, something that could handle most routine jobs with ease. Nice job on the kydex sheaths as well.

Thank you Wayne for the kind words. The differential hardening simply refers to the manner in which the blade was hardened. In this case only the blade edge was fully hardened, leaving the spine "soft" in order to provide (in my opinion) the best balance between strength, flexibility and cutting...

Here is my latest, just finished today. Your observations are welcome and much appreciated. Thanks for looking. 1084 differentially hardened steel 8 7/8 OAL 4" blade with 3 5/8 cutting edge Brushed copper guard and butt-cap Coined nickle silver spacer Stick tang design with nickle silver...

I also have that as a Firefox add-on. No ads, unless I want to see them.......

Not a bad test run. I just bought a set of checkering tools and some literature related to the process. I hope to incorporate some on a few of my future knives. It seems like it will be a good winter time project........

Very nicely done. Do you ever sleep?

Thank you gentlemen. I appreciate all of the comments.

Here is my latest knife, and the second one upon which I have been able to try out some recently acquired skills courtesy of Master Smith Ed Caffrey. Slooooowly but surely I think I may be getting somewhere, lol. Hand forged 1084 differentially hardened steel 8 5/8" OAL 4 1/4" blade with 4"...

I've always liked the sharpfinger design. Nice job. Whenever I get epoxy in front of the scales I dip a toothpick in acetone and patiently work it loose. The wood is soft enough to not mess up the finish if carefully done. Maybe some of the old Dogs can share a better solution........?
