I just finished this one. Canadian Belt Knives have been a popular request lately. This one is S30V with maple scales and 1/4" corby bolts.

I have made a camp knife. I have made Gaucho knife that reminded me of a kitchen knife but this is the first kitchen knife I have made. Not all cutting is done in the field. I'm sure potatoes will learn to fear this blade. The blade is .125" S30V with an OAL of 11". The bolsters and corby...

I recently made a couple Canadian Belt Knives and I kinda liked the design. They seemed like they would be a very handy field knife and I thought about making one for myself. The problem I ran into is that I'm not Canadian and I wouldn't feel right about using a knife intended for Canadians. I...

I started a blade many moons ago and I was pulled away from the project. I recently found the blade laying under some junk. I had forgot all about it but it's a cool blade and I'm going to finish it if I can figure out what kind of steel it is. I forgot what kind of steel it is. It's D2 or...

I get on Knife Dogs, check the new posts, and find a bunch of spam trying to sell Nike shoes. Is there a way to find these people and staple their bottom lip to their forehead?

After making a Bowie knife with lots of filework and details, I needed to get back to basics. I just wanted to make a basic field knife. You know, a solid, user friendly knife for field dressing. The knife ended up 8 1/2" OAL and has a 5/32" S30V blade. The handle is G10 with corby bolts.

I had a request for a big, flashy knife. It's going to a soldier in Afghanistan who has to talk with tribal leaders. He requested that it have a cross displayed in the handle because the tribal leaders are primitive but they remember the Crusades. The cross displayed on a warriors weapon...

I finished this one today. There were several firsts for me on this knife. I tappered the tang on this one which I usually don't do and I tried a new method for attaching the guard. The knife is 8 1/2" OAL with a 3/16" O1 blade. The handle scales are stabilized redwood.

I decided to make a Loveless style knife. Not just the profile but actually try to make a Loveless drop point. I have never seen one in person and I haven't watched his video. I'm just trying to produce a flat ground version of his drop point knife by looking at pics on the web and using my...

I have a couple racks laying around the shop from deer I shot. I finally decided to cut a hunk off and make a handle out of it. This is only my 5th knife using antler. I don't like working with it. It smells funny and often behaves poorly. Wood and micarta cooperate with me much better than...

There is a guy that has a habbit of putting a bug in my ear about trying new styles of blades. His ideas are always really good and they get me to try new things. Usually people suggest crazy blade styles that don't interest me, like Klingon battle daggers or big tacticool type blades. The...

I finally finished another knife. This one is 9" OAL with a 3/16" O1 blade. The handle is some sort of stabilized wood. The file work is a new pattern for me and it really tested my file skills.

I posted this on the knife photo thread but thought I would drop it here also. I finished my second Bowie style knife and it has my first attempt at a frame handle. The knife is 16 1/2" OAL with a 1/4" D2 blade. It was a fun project.

This is my second attempt at a Bowie and my first frame handle knife. My first Bowie was ok but it missed the mark. Something about the profile seemed wrong. I'm much happier with this one. There are many very fine knives that are labeled Bowie knives but this is my idea of what a Bowie...

Finished this one yesterday. It's 8" OAL, 1/8" O1 blade, with stabilized maple burl and stainless bolsters.

I just completed the sheath for this one. It's 8" OAL with a 3 1/2" long, 1/8" thick 01 blade. The handle is linen micarta. It will see use as a field dressing knife for an avid bowhunter.

I just finished this one. 9" OAL, 3/16" O1 blade, box elder burl.

My job is always getting in the way of my hobby but I did find time to finish this semi-skinner. It has an O-1 blade with linen micarta scales. It should be a handy knife for a deer hunting type of guy.

I was contacted about about making a gaucho type knife. I have never made one before or even looked into making one. The buyer is a super nice guy so I told him I would take a look at gaucho knives and come up with something. I researched gauchos on the web and basically came up with a...

I've worked with oak on wood projects but this is the first time I have tried it on a knife handle. I kinda like it. The knife 8 3/4" OAL, 3/16" O1, brass bolsters and pins.
