cool! we should meet up for coffee sometime! :-) Chuc

Thanks! they are! I designed this one to go on the middle finger instead of the pointer...keeps the size down nicely. I'm told they're turning out to be excellent "utility blades". *wink*

Thanks! My friend Todd came to visit over last 4th of july. He liked it enough that he asked me to help him make one. He lives in WA state and loves camping. So, we made him one. The handle is Black Oak Burl, stabilized. I like how it turned out. :-)

Hey there Bob! Where in west mi do you live? I'm on the NE side of GR. :-)

Thanks! It ended up as a thank-you gift to one of my students for helping me build my new forge hood. He uses the hell out of it up at his cabin. So far so good. :-) nothing like torture testing to improve workmanship, eh? lol

Thank you!

A good friend of mine, Terry, works for Boker Blades. He and I collaborated on a design for them called TUF (Terry's Urban Fighter) When it came out in the catalog, I made this one as sort of a commorative blade. :-) The blade is random pattern damascus (320 layer). The handle is feathered...

I love it! I love giving old steel a second life in the form of a good blade! Nice job! Chuck

It's beautiful! Looks like it could double as a machete! :-)

I love how the handles turned out! Totally fits the blade!

Hi there...the blade looks great! I've ground myself so many times my slogan use to be "I put a little of myself into all my blades..." My wife now just rolls her eyes at me. - Chuck

Thanks Keith! I've really loved the journey so far! - Chuck

Hi there All, I'm new to the forum and wanted to post some pics of my past work. We've also got a forum for woodstabilizing services over in the knife supplies area to check out under Woodlab. I'm Chuck, and I've been making sharps since 2005. So, I'm relatively new and looking forward...
