I was getting ready to build a knife for a customer that uses Penn State colors on the handle...blue/white. I was going to use my usual Ivory Micarta when a friend showed me a pic of his Colt with Holly grips. Nice looking, but does anyone have any idea how fast it oxidizes? The micarta knife...

Like both the design and the wood..and the sheath for that matter. Nice.

ankromexotics.com He seems to have problems right now keeping them in stock.

Nice clean design and great choice of materials.

I'd talked to him on the phone a few weeks back and he said he'd made a bunch, but they're selling as fast as he can make them.

After seeing Cote's beautiful filet knife with the Norwegian spruce cone cast into Armilite, I had to give that material a try. Ordered 3 sets of scales with different colored resins; this is the first of the series. Blade is my usual 3/32 inch CPM154CM and is 5 inches long. The trim is...

That'll make an elegant contribution to the counter top.

I like both Wharncliffes and copper, and these both look great; but also very, very usable.

Amazing look to it...and great work.

Truly elegant.

Beautiful. Great design and workmanship and, like everyone says, great looking scales.

Not only good looking, but has that great "user" look to it.

That's the best looking version of that design I've seen in a long time...beautiful.

Thanks Bill. I think everyone knows where State College is now:(.

Strange timing on this thread. First knife in 1997 was a wharncliffe made from a Sandvik steel file shaped by a Nicholson file(which was harder). Handle's oak from a busted axe handle. It still sits on my cutting board and gets used constantly. Newest is the wharncliffe I just showed in a...

Always like Wharncliffe's; the first knife I made was that shape. This one is on the larger size. The skinner is my standard Copperhead. Both have 5 inch blades. The Wharnie is out of 1/8 inch S-30V and the skinner is out of 3/32 inch CPM154CM. Wood is quarter sawn white oak out of my...

A Canadian friend asked me to modify one of my basic designs, which I did. Liked it much better than my original, so I put his name to it. Blade is flat ground CPM154CM in 3/32" diameter and it's 4.5" from tip to plunge. It's 9" OAL and 5 oz. Wood is Stabilized Koa and the the trim is copper.

I really hate calling this a Nessmuk, because it's not; it just sorta looks like one at first glance. I'd ordered a full tang Nessmuk from Bob Engnath years ago and found that while I liked the looks it was a bit clumsy to use when not skinning/slicing etc. So I lengthened the handle and...

Actually, so do I, but, heck, it's his anniversary. First knife I've built with a guard and a snap sheath in years also, not being fond of either. I've a little over 15 years, and started making knives 14 years ago. There was this old file laying around.........

A friend of mine is celebrating 18 years sober tomorrow and his girlfriend had asked me to build her a knife as a gift; seeing as he's never owned a custom knife. He likes fairly big knives, being one of those farmers and woodsmen who like one that'll do anything from a "steer to a deer". This...
