My grandmother picked out the handle material that belonged to my grandfather, and asked me to make her a letter opener. This is my first attempt at a double-sided design. The steel is CPM154 which is completely unnecessary for a letter opener, but it's the only stainless I had at the time...

I've been planning on my next batch of knives, drawing templates and trying to figure out which handle materials to use. If only all of life's tough decisions were this much fun :biggrin:.

I've been thinking about making a camp knife. I did a google image search and found a lot of camp knives that I would have thought were bowies. Is there a defined difference between the two? Also, what blade thickness would you recommend for a 10"-12" camp knife? I was thinking about maybe...

I got married at the end of April. My wife surprised me with a groom's cake. I had no idea. The pictures don't do it justice. The baker did a great job. The knives and sheath are non-edible, permanent pieces, so I can keep them in my knife case.

Here are some pictures of several of the knives I've made over the last couple years. All fixed blades. A few different styles. I've only made 11 total. I sold one, traded one, gave away one, and put a couple to personal use.
