Here's a couple of quick pics of some Christmas presents that I finished today. Thanks for looking and Merry Christmas to all

This is the 7th Santoku style knife I have made for a family of chefs in Canada. Hand forged 1084FG, OAL 11-1/2", blade 6-3/4", curly maple handle. Not my usual style, but a nice change of pace. Thanks for looking.

Took about 4 months off the knife making after smacking the burn out wall. Spent the summer teaching a new knife maker and pursuing other interests. Here is my latest batch. Still have to etch the blades and make sheaths. Spent about 8 hours last week forging the next batch. It feels...

Been a while since I posted anything. This past March i hit the burn out wall and it was all I could do to finish a group of knives for a collector. I have always wanted a flint lock rifle, so I took the plunge. Ordered a kit that was in the style of J. Dickert, circa 1775. I jumped in with...

Thought ya'll might like to see all of our rescues. First pic is of the goats. They will be 1yr old in March and been with us since they were 2 weeks old. Far left is Angel, in the back is Stubborn. Left front is Precious and right front is Saddle. This is Boo, a 2yr old, 130# Great...

It's been so unusually cold here that for the first time the waterfall in my garden pond is iced over. The water is still flowing under the ice. Each morning I pour boiling water near the stream to keep an open spot to let the gasses out.

I found a dog that had been left behind by some people that moved out of a rental house near me. They moved out last Thursday and I found him Saturday, almost dead. They left him chained outside with no food and his water dish was frozen solid. That brings our total of rescues to 4 dogs and 4...

I have decided to make a series of knives called Turtle Clan. This is the second in the series. The blade is hand forged 1084FG and is 6 3/4" long and is 1 1/2" at the widest point. The handle is mule deer antler. The fittings are poured LF pewter. OAL is 11 3/4". The sheath is veggie tan...

Deer rawhide covered veggie tan with an attempt at beadwork. Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome.

Been trying some new things. A poured pewter ferrule on the knife. A deer rawhide covered sheath with bead work. With my old eyes and fingers, the sheath took some time to complete. The bead work could be better, but for a first try, I am a bit proud of it. It was kind of tough working the beads...

I made these for a friend and his two sons. Dad is into competition camp cooking and his sons are young hunters. The blades are forged from Aldo's 1084 and the handles are curly maple. Thanks for looking.

I want to start covering some sheaths in rawhide and need to place an order for some stock. I welcome any input. Sources? Weight? Bleached or natural? I have seen some short tutorials on rawhide sheaths and I wonder if there is a book(s) on the subject. Thanks for your time.

I have been using cheap wood mallets to do the final straightening of hot blades when forging. The main problem is they are to light. Been brain storming for a few months and here's what I come up with. The materials I used were: 2"x2"x3/16" square tube 2" long 3/4"x9" sch 40 black pipe...

Love this forum. Nice to have another place to hang out. I see a lot of friends already here. Hope to meet more. Since I have retired I am usually hanging round the house, so everyone has an open invite to drop by anytime. I am located in Grover, NC.
